Here’s just a couple of excellent examples of photography from Gemma Leak on her wordpress blog.

I think that the Autumnal portrait above has a beautiful spread of colour, and reading Gemma’s description of a photography session shows that she really enjoys her vocation!


Gemma writes:

“I travelled to Harrogate to photograph Jo, Nick and little Edward,  (and not forgetting their gorgeous and very shy dog!)  We had a lovely day,  shooting a huge variety of images in and around the home.  Finishing off the day with a walk through the beautiful autumn leaves in the nearby park.

Jo and Nick are absolutely lovely and made me feel so welcome in their home, Edward was also a little star,  really patient , cute and cuddly.

I can’t wait to show the Nick & Jo the images, I have so many that I am thrilled with.  Here are just a few of my favourites ….”
