Welcome to Gilmore Studios

If your daughter is feeling nervous about posing for her debutante portraits, you’re not alone—lots of girls are!
The good news? She doesn’t have to figure it out on her own. I walk her through every step, from how to hold the dress to where to look.
By the end of the session, she’ll feel confident and relaxed (and you’ll have portraits that feel classic and natural).

Our studio garden gives us beautiful light and variety—so even a short session can feel like magic. 🌿👗

🎈How do you photograph a two-year-old with big energy and even bigger personality?

You keep it simple — clean white backdrop, lots of movement, and zero pressure to pose.

This session had it all: family portraits, sweet sibling moments, and so many expressions from this spirited little one. These are the kind of images that show who they really are — right now.

Because two doesn’t stay two for long.

Tiny but mighty 🙌

This 4x6 acrylic block is one of my favorite little keepsakes — perfect for desks, shelves, or gifting to grandparents.

It’s a beautiful way to enjoy your favorite image every day (without needing to scroll your camera roll).

I love when clients send me photos or videos of how they’ve used their digital images 📸

Whether it’s a gallery wall, framed prints, or a favorite photo tucked into a nightstand frame — this is why we do it.

Your photos shouldn’t live on a screen. They should be seen, shared, and celebrated every day.

Ever wonder what branding photography really does for your business? 👀

It’s more than just pretty headshots — it’s about capturing what it feels like to work with you.

@spa_carmen_ brings calm, confidence, and care to every facial and waxing session — and that’s exactly what we wanted these images to show. ✨

Whether you’re a service-based business or a creative, professional photos help clients see your personality before they even walk in the door.
