family photography

capturing your family for posterity

It’s so true. A chubby hand squeezing yours, long fluffy eyelashes, the smell of a baby’s skin. A favourite game or teddy, a love of jumping in puddles or shy eyes peeking out from behind your legs. Or their soft cheek buried in your neck when they need a cuddle.

 

The moments that make the sleepless nights all worth it is what I will capture for you. Mostly you’re so busy parenting or taking snaps yourselves that you forget to be in the photographs but these family portraits I create for you will become more and more valuable as life’s chapters fly past. They're the images that your children will show their children and grandchildren.

 

We're capturing a part of your family's history. In a word, priceless.

Mostly we don’t remember the days, we remember the moments.

It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything

Family photography sessions in your own home add that element of authenticity to your family photoshoot, offering a unique backdrop that will become more meaningful to you as life's chapters fly past – memories of where your children spent their early years. Their ever-increasing heights marked on a doorframe, ‘creative’ baking in the kitchen (aka flour in every crevice), carefree cartwheels, a cosy nook with a favourite story or even bubble mohicans in the bath.

It’s very important to me that we have a relaxed, unhurried few hours together so I can take time to get to know your children, engaging with them to capture authentic, characterful portraits of you all in your natural habitat. A truly bespoke family portrait shoot that is as unique as you are.

At home family photography - natural lifestyle portraits by Gemma Brunton

At home lifestyle family photography

I am so grateful to have a job that I passionately enjoy. Since 2010 I have met so many wonderful families with whom I am proud to have forged lasting bonds and who entrust me with creating valuable memories of the most important people in their lives. It's a responsibility I undertake with great care and passion and I would love to do the same for you.

On location family photoshoots

Natural scenery provides a special backdrop to your images and I love to capture the ‘Britishness’ of our beautiful countryside – imagine lush green woodland and golden autumnal colours, wispy ethereal long grass in late summer or windswept sand dunes next to a gently lapping shoreline.

 

We’ll find somewhere that speaks to you as a family, perhaps a place where you love to spend time together, where the kids can run free-range with the wind in their hair. We'll spend a couple of hours seeking out pockets of gorgeous light to capture your family’s bond and connection with each other. I shoot early or late in the day when the light is at its most atmospheric and there are some beautiful beaches, parks and woodlands in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset where I often photograph. Together we'll find the perfect spot for your family portrait session.

Maternity & newborn photography

The first year of a baby's life goes so very fast and they literally transform in front of your eyes...those tiny fingers, baggy knees and gorgeous gummy first smiles. It is so important to capture this time as once it's gone, it's gone forever…and you simply won't remember how adorable and tiny they once were. Even less will you remember what it felt like to be pregnant and feel your baby kicking.

 

Let me record the anticipation and excitement of your new arrival with a newborn photoshoot, capturing the tender moments of those early days as a new family and focussing on the bond and emotion between you, your baby and any older siblings. I offer maternity, newborn and 6 month sitter  photoshoots either at your home or at my home studio in Salisbury. More details are available below.

CATHERINE & JOHN

Gemma has a remarkable ability to tease out the personality of even the most shy of children and record it on camera. There is an ethereal quality to her imagery that evokes a strong emotional reaction to each and every photograph.

JONATHAN & KATE

We will treasure these images forever. When I'm old and wrinkly, I'll be able to show my grandchildren what their parents were like as kids. You captured their spirit and our love as a family perfectly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
