My story

I’m an international photographer from the Netherlands. I’ve lived, travelled, and worked in several countries and I’m currently based in Portugal. Together with my husband and our two children, we run a small guesthouse and mini glamping in Central Portugal where we combine our creative work with everyday life.

Photography has been my passion for over 25 years. It all started with my first camera on a trip to Australia in 2000, and I’ve been hooked ever since. My goal is always to make people feel at ease and to capture real emotions and atmosphere.

My style is warm, natural, and storytelling-focused, with an eye for the little details that make each moment unique. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed outdoor shoot, a meaningful documentary session, or timeless portraits, I’m here to create images that feel honest and personal.

Testimonials

We had a pregnancy photoshoot and we’re so happy with the result! Gemma made us feel comfortable right away and knew exactly how to capture the right moments and emotions. The photos are warm, pure, and such a beautiful memory of this special time. Everything was perfectly taken care of — from the choice of location to the editing. Truly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and fun photographer.

We got in touch with Gemma through Elisa from Casa Fontelheira and immediately clicked. Gemma is warm, spontaneous, and full of positive energy. She thinks along with you, makes everyone feel relaxed, and captures both the posed and spontaneous moments beautifully.
We were thrilled with the photos — and the thoughtful little extras she sent along. A wonderful keepsake of an unforgettable day. Highly recommended!

Wow, we’re absolutely thrilled with the photos 🤩 — some look straight out of a magazine! 😱 Thank you for the beautiful shots and such a fun afternoon. We both had an amazing time, and it’s something we’ll really treasure. You made me feel completely at ease, even though this was totally outside my comfort zone. You truly turn it into a celebration 😊
