About

Kia ora, I'm Jem.


I’m a family photographer serving Christchurch and beyond. I’m an outdoorsy, ocean dwelling Mama, partner, and caffeine enthusiast. My little tribe sparks my creativity and love for documenting life through photographs. The big moments and the every day. I’m a rom com lover, vintage magpie and self proclaimed foodie.

I can most likely be found with my partner and kids on adventures involving sand, sunshine and good eats.


I believe that every season of life is precious and worth documenting, even if life feels less than perfect at the time. As a Mama myself, I’ve watched time move by so fast I wished I could just press pause. So let's bottle up those memories and preserve your families story through photographs. Freezing those beautiful, fleeting moments that become your most cherished memories is my jam!





Kind words from my clients

"This is the third time Jemma has taken photos for us and I’m always amazed at how phenomenal they turn out! Jemma makes us all feel comfortable (especially my very shy hubby) and ensures that the environment feels very natural. Thank you for capturing gorgeous photos for us that we can hold on to forever!"

"We had family photos taken by Jem at our home! We are so happy with them and they are displayed throughout the house. We were so lucky to have her come to our home, it was so relaxing from start to finish. It was like she had joined our family for the day and captured our very important everyday moments. We are so lucky to have these precious moments captured. Thanks Jem we can’t wait to have you back!"

"Jemma chose a wonderful location for our family photos. She had 2 older teenagers to deal with and produced natural and fun photos of us all. I highly recommend Jemma if you're looking for a photographer that puts everyone at ease. Very professional and lovely photos we will be proud to share and look at in years to come.
Thank you Jemma. Love your work!"
