About Gemma

 
You just have to live and life will give you pictures.
— Henri Cartier-Bresson
 

A self-taught photographer. A mom. A wife. A student of life. A sensitive soul hoping to capture life's beauty. Based in Whistler, BC and San Jose, CA.

I have always been interested in photography ever since my childhood, but my main motivation came when the adventures with my husband brought us to some incredibly stunning sceneries.  My photos simply weren't doing justice to the beauty and the emotions that came with those experiences.  So down the rabbit hole I went and the learning and exploration process began.

In true Henri Cartier-Bresson spirit, my photography is inspirations drawn from living and loving life, whether it be quiet days in nature, or a moment in a foreign place that speaks to my heart, or exhausting yet exhilarating days climbing.

Nowadays, the majority of my inspiration comes from my family and from watching my kids’ wonder and curiosity as they explore the world around them.
