Aylesbury-based family specialist, Gemma Randall creates timeless, natural‑light family heirlooms. Her relaxed, editorial approach helps even camera‑shy children feel at ease for beautiful, candid portraits.
Hello, you — I’m Gemma, a family photographer based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and my heart is in photographing the little moments that become your family heirlooms. I specialise in family, newborn, baby and children photography, working in natural light with warm, timeless tones to create images that feel relaxed, real and beautifully editorial. Why choose me? I believe delivering human happiness is at the heart of every photo I take. My work is built around honest connection: subtle direction, gentle encouragement and a calm atmosphere so that genuine interaction shines through. Whether we’re in my bright, airy studio or exploring a favourite outdoor spot, my aim is the same — to capture laughter, quiet tenderness and the small, unscripted moments you’ll want to revisit for years to come. What makes my approach special is a blend of editorial styling and candid storytelling. With a background in fashion and styling, I bring a refined eye for composition and detail, but I always prioritise comfort and authenticity. I don’t do over‑posed sessions or loud digital backdrops — instead I focus on simple palettes, natural light and the kind of stillness that creates heirloom images for your walls and albums. How we’ll work together: I take time to get to know you, listen to the moments you value most and help with styling ideas so your photos feel cohesive and effortless. Sessions are relaxed and baby‑led when needed — I’ll work around feeds, naps and little personalities, using games and gentle prompts to evoke smiles and real interaction. After the shoot I carefully edit images in my signature style and present them in a way that makes choosing favourites a joy. My promise is to deliver a warm, easy experience and photographs that transcend time. If you’re in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire or nearby and want family portraits that feel timeless, tender and true to you, let’s create something you’ll cherish for generations.
