THE PEOPLE
HAVE SPOKEN


"Gem's imagery has single handedly skyrocketed my business. She is an incredible
person and is ever more amazing at what she does. She got my work featured in
Apartment Theory and business has been booming ever since!"

"Best photographer there is! Creative, fun, and easy to be around. Gem made our
wedding day so amazing, my family hasn’t stopped talking about how they’re the
best wedding photos they’ve ever seen! 'Straight out of a magazine!'"

"She was the absolute best hype girl - and again just celebrated our love and
made us feel more in love with every picture."
