Hi I'm Jemma
Photographer, mum of five, coffee lover and a bit of a creative daydreamer.
I'm a Coventry-based photographer who loves creating portraits with a little more personality.
I'm happiest when I'm dreaming up ideas, playing with colours and bringing a photograph to life. I love the little expressions, the affection and the things that make people who they are.
I'm pretty down to earth, don't take myself too seriously and promise you don't need to be a natural in front of the camera. That's what I'm here for!
Why I Love What I Do
I've always loved the idea that a photograph can be more than just a photograph.
I love colours, beautiful light and the way all the little details can come together to create something special. But what I love most is photographing people.
The way children adore their parents (even when they're driving them up the wall), the way couples look at each other, the little expressions and relationships that make every family different.
There's something lovely about taking all of that and turning it into a portrait that someone wants to put on their wall.
And that's what I love about photography. I get to take all those little things that make people who they are and turn them into something beautiful.
Why Photographs Matters To Me
You know when you hear a song or catch a familiar smell, and suddenly you're transported back to a memory you'd almost forgotten? I live for those moments.
I've always been fascinated by history and the everyday lives of people who came before us.
One of my favourite things is showing my children old family photographs, especially of relatives they never got to meet. I love that a simple photograph can connect us to people and places from another time.
And I love thinking that the photographs we take today might do exactly the same for someone in the future.
A few Things About Me
I'm a bit of a homebody, happiest with a coffee, my family around me and a creative project on the go.
I love anything with a bit of character, whether that's an old photograph, a quirky little shop or something I've found second-hand.
I'm forever coming up with ideas for things I'd like to make. Whether I actually finish them all is another matter!
Little Things That Make Me Happy
The Coffee Shop's Christmas menu (yes, I get excited every year), those first ten minutes in the morning when the whole house is still asleep, and being tucked under a blanket with Buddy when it's cold and raining outside.
Cloudy days when I've got a photoshoot booked ... trust me, that light is a photographer's dream!
And family days out, especially when we get to explore somewhere new.
Nothing particularly extravagant, just the little things that make life lovely.
