Gemma Clare Photography

Hey — I’m Gemma. For 20 years I’ve been helping people feel at ease in front of the camera and creating portraits they’ll treasure. As a Mummy to two little ones, I know how precious and fleeting moments can be. That understanding shapes everything I do as a portrait specialist based in Farnworth: patient, calm and focused on making real people look like themselves. I trained in a large chain studio from the age of 18, and over two decades I’ve honed a gentle, conversational approach that brings out natural expressions rather than stiff poses. My priority is to capture honest, timeless portraits that reflect personality and connection — whether it’s a relaxed studio session or a more considered portrait for a special moment. Clients stay comfortable and enjoy the experience as much as the images. My studio is in a modern commercial building just off the A666/M61, easily reached from Farnworth and surrounding areas. There’s plenty of free onsite parking and food facilities close by, so sessions feel straightforward and stress-free from arrival to finish. I create a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere where even camera-shy guests relax quickly. Working with me is simple and personal: I listen to what matters to you, guide you through the session with warmth and humour, and focus on capturing the moments that mean the most. I pay close attention to lighting, composition and those small, genuine expressions that turn a photo into a memory. The result is professional, natural portraits you’ll be proud to display. If you’re looking for a Farnworth portrait specialist who blends technical skill with a wholehearted, personal touch, I’d love to meet you. My aim is always the same — to create images that feel like you and to make the whole experience enjoyable. Get in touch to talk about a portrait session and let’s create something beautiful together.
