Gilmore Studios works with many groups including National Charity League, Assistance League, and Las Ninas (Las Madrecitas) for Debutante Ball event portraits. We will organize all the family and group portraits as well as cover the actual event. We include digital images and can create gorgeous leather photo albums. We also photograph other events for these organizations like fashion shows, father/daughter tributes, tea/rose ceremonies, and Rainbow Luncheons. We organize and photograph numerous debutante portrait sessions in our private 1/2 acre garden in Newport Beach every year. The garden has a large synthetic turf area perfect for keeping those white dresses clean! We can also come to you for your group portraits if Newport is too far.
Are you struggling to find great photos to post on social media for your business? Is it stressful to figure out what to post each week? Gilmore Studios will spend a few hours with you to document numerous different lifestyle looks, locations, details, scenery and more so that your instagram can be filled without you having to think about it for the next 30-90 days.
Our Red Carpet Event photograph is perfect for adding a little extra pizazz to your celebration. We can bring one of our backdrops or we can set up at your personalized step and repeat that you provide. Professional lighting and photographer included. All images will be available on an online gallery for guests to download their images. A great way to get guests involved at your event and to remember this fun occasion.
Corporate/Commercial sessions are a great option if you need to document a seminar, photograph your establishment, or just simply to update your website. We will connect with you prior to the day to talk about what your end goal is in regards to the photographs. All images will be uploaded online and a private link will be sent to you to download the high-resolution images. From business workshops to specialty schools, this option is great for any kind of business looking to freshen up their images.

Photographing a massive event with tons of guests? Here’s how I made sure to capture every moment at the NCL 100th Anniversary:
1. Position yourself strategically to cover multiple angles.
2. Focus on storytelling shots— think candid reactions and group interactions.
3. Keep your gear light and mobile for quick movement!
Big events can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can document every detail while staying organized! 📸🤍

Cake smash tip for photographers: Embrace the mess! 🎉🍰 The best shots often come when things get a little chaotic. Don’t be afraid to let the little one dig in, smear frosting, or even topple the cake. Capture the laughter, the sticky fingers, and those priceless reactions – that’s where the magic happens! #CakeSmashPhotography #MessyMemories #photographertips

Photographing senior boys? Here’s a tip: Keep it casual and let their personality shine! 💪🏼✨ Instead of stiff poses, encourage movement and natural gestures – whether it’s leaning against a wall, sitting on steps, or hands in pockets. Giving them something to do helps them feel more comfortable and confident in front of the camera! #SeniorBoyPhotography #PhotographerTips #authenticposes
