Meet Gema
Beauty with intention.
Hi, I’m Gema. I'm a military spouse with 12+ years as a professional makeup artist, based in the Silverdale area on Naval Base Kitsap Bangor. Before moving to Kitsap, I spent years working as a makeup artist in Japan — mainly in Yokosuka, with work in Iwakuni as well. I specialize in soft glam, natural beauty and polished looks designed to enhance your features — not cover them.
Photography began as a way for me to better showcase my makeup work, and I quickly fell in love with creating portraits too. Today, I bring both together through makeup and studio portrait photography that highlight beauty, confidence and personality.
Every experience is personal. I pay attention to skin preparation, the way makeup will photograph under lighting, and the small details that help you feel comfortable in front of the camera. My goal is for you to leave feeling beautiful, confident and still completely like yourself.
