Hello, I'm Gemma
Maternity, newbron and family photographer
The face behind Coastal Breeze photography. I'm a Sunshine coast maternity, newborn and family photographer, a twin mum of boys, FIFO wife, and dog mum to a very sleepy labrador - so yes, I fully understand the beautiful chaos, noise, big feelings and the magic hidden in the mess
Because I live it daily, I photograph families with a whole lot of patience, empathy and flexibility. Toddlers don't need to sit still. Babies don't need to sleep on cue. And parents definitely don't need to have it all together. My sessions are relaxed baby-led and judgement-free. Designed to feel more like a slow breath than a photoshoot.
I believe these seasons - the sleepy cuddles, the wild toddlers, the in-between chaos deserve to be remembered exactly how they are. If you're in the thick of it right now, I see you... and I'd love to capture this chapter for you.

My approach
My approach is calm, flexible and baby-led. I offer gentle guidance and fun, natural prompts to help you feel comfortable, never still or overly posed. Theres no pressure for children to perform - I follow their lead and let real moments unfold.
As a twin mum, I understand the chaos, sensitivity and magic of family life. My goal is to create\e a relaxed experience where you can slow down, connect and trust that ill capture this season.
Kind words from
Sarah
I cannot recommend Coastal Breeze Photography highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was so relaxed and natural — exactly what you want when photographing motherhood with a baby. She captured the most beautiful moments of me and my 9-month-old before they slip away.
Gemma made me feel comfortable, confident, and truly present with my baby. The photos are timeless, full of light, and perfectly reflect this fleeting season that I’ll treasure forever. Obsessed is an understatement!
Let’s work together
