Gemma Hirst Photography

After 8 years of working as a family photographer in some of the leading photographic studios, I decided I wanted to branch out on my own and to take my family photography a step further. Photographing families in their homes or at a favourite location makes the whole experience much more personal than I found achievable in studio photography. Children love being in their space and showing me their favourite things, being able to run around outside and play different games whilst I snap away.

Children are so much fun to work with and their characters can be so honestly reflected in photographs; I think that's why I love to capture them so much. I am also the very proud mummy of Max - (with me opposite) His character and inquisition is a great source of inspiration for my work.
