Welcome to Gilmore Studios

The first look with Alex and Bryndis was one of those moments you do not forget. It was quiet, heartfelt and gave them a chance to breathe before the day took off.
If you are planning your wedding, consider a first look. It gives you time together, helps calm nerves and lets you enjoy more of your day without rushing.
Here are a few highlights from their beautiful Newport Beach Hyatt wedding.

Some people wonder - is it worth the hassle every year to take family photos? In my personal experience… 💯 With two of my boys out of the house and one teenager left - I am so glad we did family photos. I have them around my house on the walls and in albums and it makes me so happy. I don’t think you will ever meet someone that regrets taking photos yearly - but you will definitely find people regretting they didn’t take family photos. #printyourphotos #orangecountyfamilyphotographer #gilbertfamilyphotographer #newportbeachphotographer

Photographed this awesome family right out front of their home in Utah, and I loved everything about it. The light, the laughter, and my favorite part…. the chickens walking around in the background.

It is always the little things that end up being my favorite part of a session.

I messed up and put my glasses on my head not thinking they were recording, but actually loved what I heard. If you have had me photograph you / you know. I will tell you where to place your hands so they don’t look awkward, how to fix your hair, where to stand. That’s my job. You should never have to worry about things like that 💕 #howtopose #howtoposeforpictures #familyphotographer #photographytips

An extended family session with four dogs and the best energy. We found the most beautiful tree for our backdrop and ended the session by climbing it for the final photo.

Sessions like this remind me how much fun family portraits can be when everyone just goes with it.
