Final images are carefully edited to achieve a polished, consistent look suited to professional use while keeping skin tones and character intact. How Gemma works with clients: start with an initial discussion about purpose and style, agree on timing and location (Broadstairs and nearby areas), and then enjoy a relaxed session tailored to fit your needs. For business clients she focuses on strong, versatile headshots that translate across corporate profiles and marketing channels; for personal portraits she leans into comfortable interaction to capture warmth and authenticity. Gemma’s portrait work is for people who want professional images without the stiffness—headshots and portraits that reflect competence, approachability and confidence.
