Gemma Roberts Photography

I’m Gemma Roberts — a Garston-based family photographer with over a decade of experience capturing the small, honest moments that make family life so precious. My work focuses on family portraiture and children’s photography, with a gentle, conversational approach that helps even the most camera-shy children relax and be themselves. I aim to create images that feel real, playful and full of personality — photos you’ll want on your walls and in your hands. Why choose me? I specialise in family-led storytelling: I look for the interactions, the quiet glances and spontaneous giggles that reveal who you are as a family. My style blends clean, pop‑up studio backdrops with natural, location-based or at‑home moments so your portraits reflect both timeless composition and everyday life. Working locally from Garston, I’m mobile and regularly host pop‑up sessions across Merseyside — ideal for parents who want high-quality photos without the fuss. How I work: every shoot begins with a friendly chat — usually a phone consultation — so I understand what matters to you: outfits, family dynamics, favourite toys or meaningful props. On the day I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere, encouraging play and connection rather than stiff poses. After the session you’ll enjoy a private viewing of the best images in a slideshow format, and I’ll guide you through options for wall art, prints or digital images so you can choose how to celebrate your photos. I photograph the full family journey — from newborn and baby portraits to cake‑smash first birthdays, children’s sessions and wider family gatherings. I also have experience working with nurseries and schools and am DBS checked, meaning I’m comfortable and confident photographing children in a variety of settings. My aim is simple: to give families in Garston and the surrounding area a five‑star photo experience that’s personal, relaxed and effortlessly beautiful. If you’d like to talk through ideas or arrange a pop‑up or at‑home family photo experience, drop me a message or call — I’d love to help you create images you’ll treasure for years to come. Gemma x
