Gemma Langley Photography

I’m Gemma — a family photographer based in Gelligaer with a purpose-built studio in Oakdale, Blackwood. Family photography is at the heart of what I do: as a mother of two I understand how quickly little ones grow and why those everyday laughs and cuddles deserve to be captured beautifully. I specialise in creating family portraits that feel natural, warm and full of connection. My approach is relaxed and friendly. I aim to put everyone at ease so real smiles and genuine interactions come through in every image. Whether you want studio portraits or a location shoot, I work with you to shape a session that reflects your family — playful moments with children, tender newborn details, or timeless multi-generation portraits. My experience working with babies and children for many years means I know how to create a calm, fun atmosphere where even the most camera-shy family members feel comfortable. Before your session we’ll chat about what you’d like to achieve — colours, outfits and any special details you want to include. On the day I’ll guide you with gentle direction, encouraging natural movement and real connection rather than stiff posing. I treasure the little details: tiny hands, nose wrinkles, the way siblings lean in — these are the images that become family heirlooms. My studio is cosy and welcoming, set up to be child-friendly while still delivering professional, high-quality photographs. I also offer location sessions across Gelligaer and surrounding South Wales if you prefer the feel of your favourite park or family spot. After the shoot I carefully edit your chosen images and present them in a private gallery so you can relive the session and choose the keepsakes you love. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Gelligaer who listens, brings warmth and patience to every session, and creates portraits that truly reflect your family, I’d love to hear your story. Let’s capture the laughs, the hugs and the everyday moments you’ll want to treasure forever.
