One of the trickiest things as a photographer is capturing someone who's facial expressions are constantly changing.

Knowing at which specific moment to focus and shoot to capture someone at their best.

It was a joy working with Anthony Ward (Piano Man) recently at Browns Nottingham.

Ant wanted a collection of images for a new website he's working on, so we spent an hour or so together - me capturing stills, and Ant giving me my very own personal performance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Gemma is a kind hearted and professional level photographer. She has a keen eye for detail and is a pleasure to work with.

Really pleased with this one.

If you'd like a bank of beautiful images that show you in action, give me a shout - I'd love to help.

One of the benefits of choosing me as your photographer is that you can use my home in Ruddington (was a show home) as your shoot location.

I'm so proud of my beautiful space, and clients love how their image turn out ❤️

I'd be great to hear from you if you're considering a shoot over the next few months ☺️

I'm fully booked this month and have limited availability in September and October but November and December are fairly free so far.

🇪🇬 I'm back from an incredible break in Egypt and can't wait to get back on it.

After an anxiety filled holiday in Mexico a couple of years ago, I've made it my mission to ensure the time I spend away from work now, is dedicated to R&R.

I took my laptop but spent no more than 30 minutes over the 11 nights away doing work related things (things that required zero brain power), and I replied to a handful of emails - the rest I knew could wait until I returned home.

And I didn't take my camera 📸 😯

Holidays are becoming more and more relaxing as I continue to get better at planning for time off. My head was very much where it needed to be - switched off and having the rest it deserved.

I couldn't feel more refreshed if I tried, which is good as I have a hand full of photo shoots and a website build to smash over the next two weeks.

With just under 5 weeks until my next trip, I'll be planning on bringing my laptop time down to 15 minutes or less!

Right...

Best get on it.

Think I'll start with a run though🏃🏼‍♀️

Have a lovely week.

A little food photography for a change for a brand new Andalusian Tapas Popup launching in Ruddington very soon.

Give them a follow if this is your vibe - Sol Y Sombra

How good does their patatas bravas look!

We'll bang on about our patatas bravas a lot - so you'd better get used to it.

It's a dream!

Egypt, August 2026

16/07/2026

The last few years I said to myself, "next year I'll take the whole of August off", but never actually got around to doing it.

It's my least busy month of the year, which I imagine is the case for most of us due to it being holiday season?

One year I brought in as little as £600 for the entire month - WTAF!

So here I was planning how I'd stretch my finances out to take next month off, when I take on the most perfect project with the most perfect client.

What's my favourite kind of project I hear you ask?

It's when a brand new business (in this case an ADHD Coach) comes to me for help with their branding, photography, and their website.

I love helping budding business owners to get online and visible - especially when they trust me to take care of everything for them.

Yesterday I finalised our shoot plan and submitted the designs for their website - ADHD is such an interesting niche to be working with - lots to consider in terms of accessibility, design and the overall safe and calm vibe we're creating.

What's your August normally like?

And what's your favourite kind of project?

It's that time of year again...

Time to spruce up my business cards and get more printed.

Anyone who has one of my business cards will know that I showcase some of my work on the back of them - do you know the person on the back of the card I gave you?

If you can spot yourself in this quick video it means you've made the cut for the new batch.

Congratulations!

Hi there!

I thought it was time for a little re-intro!

I'm Gemma. A Brand & Commercial Photographer based in Nottingham.

I specialise in capturing powerful and purposeful images for passionate Founders, Freelancers, Business Owners, and SMEs who want to get noticed and be more visible.

When people work with me, they walk away with a collection of multi use images for their website, socials, printed marketing, and use in the press.

Beautiful images that show their who, what, where, when, how, and why.

Images that tell a story.

I also design websites, beautiful logos, and anything that needs printing!

When I'm not behind the camera, editing, or designing, you'll find me in the pool, walking the dog, enjoying a vino in the village, on holiday, or planning my next holiday 😉

If you're in business and you'd love to get yourself out there, let's have a chat. You'll find all the important links in my bio ☝🏼

Have a lovely Friday people 😘

📷 Here I am on holiday in Messonghi. I'm standing in a bus shelter whilst taking a photo of Richard Morris - an amazing gig photographer (check out his work over on Insta - https://www.instagram.com/rich_morris_photography).

✅ I absolutely hate the thought of having my photo taken.

✅ I cringe when I see photos of myself.

✅ I can't think of anything worse than having a photo shoot.

These three statements (or thereabouts) are things I hear on a regular basis.

Here's the thing...

You don't have to have the confidence of a professional model!

You don't have to know how to pose.

And you don't need to know what you're doing.

After working with a photographer you vibe with, you'll absolutely love seeing yourself in photos (and be proud to share them).

The connection between a photographer and their subject (that's you) is something special - it's more than just a photo shoot.

It's all about finding a photographer you feel comfortable in the company of, whose photography style you like, and who you can be unapologetically yourself with.

The rest will be taken care of.

If you're considering investing in a collection of powerful and purposeful images for use across your website, socials, the press, and in print, let's talk.

I'm a Nottingham-based Brand & Commercial Photographer. I specialise in capturing the most natural, relaxed, and fun photos for people in business.

I also help businesses with websites, branding, and design.
