sandy toddler hands
the excitement of becoming a new parent
dipping baby’s toes in the ocean for the first time
little voices talking to their baby sibling in the belly
mid-shoot dance party
energetic kids playing in the waves
your fav snacks for a picnic
I embrace the untraditional. Wherever the session takes us, I am so stoked to be documenting life’s real moments for you. As with the rest of my life, I am truly happy going with the flow during our photo session. Don’t worry though, I will guide you through the whole thing. It will not be about posing you down to the fingertips and making sure that every last hair is in place, but I will be giving you simple directions and suggestions to encourage movement and connection while letting your personalities and unique relationships shine through.
Within 7-10 business days, you will receive your online gallery with the final digital files to bring back memories of the warm Maui sun and the beautiful time you spent with your loved ones. Each collection includes a private online gallery of your images, available to download and share.

Gemma is so friendly that it felt like we were just hanging out with a friend. She made the whole process feel very easy and natural, guiding us with poses and suggestions while getting to know more about us. Best of all, the photos turned out even better than we imagined! We got the photos in a little over a week right after we came back from our babymoon and we were able to experience our babymoon again.

While we were vacationing in Maui, my husband and I thought it would be special to do our maternity photos. Once I came across Gemma's page, I knew she was the photographer I wanted to help us capture these special memories. She was so easy and fun to work with and made us feel totally comfortable. The photos turned out AMAZING and we will cherish them forever!

She worked with us to ensure we got great shots with plenty of backdrops - we really wanted candids of us all playing together and wow, did she deliver! If you are worried about the chaos of a beach photoshoot with a toddler, don’t be! It was absolutely the best kind of chaos and by the end we all ended up covered in water and sand. And those are 100% my favorite photos. Gemma’s final product is so much better than I could have ever hoped for - they’re filled with laughter, love, and a sense of joy that perfectly captures our little family.

The Booking Process
I will get back to you with my availability and some more information, and we will go from there! I will try my very best to respond within 48 hours. Have a look at the info above on this page to see the different package options.
This one sounds like a doozy, right? Don't worry, I will help you! When you reach out to me, I will send you a quick little guide to help you with picking your date, time, and location. Look at my 'Pricing' page to see the different package options.
Once the details are finalized, I will send you a contract to sign, and a deposit ($100) to pay. This $100 will be taken out of your package cost. (Keep in mind that your spot is not secure until these two tasks have been completed.) Then we can get into the planning specifics!
