Newport Beach, CA & Gilbert, AZ • Sessions by appointment only
Gilmore Studios was established in 2002 in Newport Beach, CA. What began as a wedding photography studio naturally grew into something more as those same couples started families. Today, I specialize in photographing people through every stage of life. From weddings and events to newborns, children, and families. I love documenting the milestones and in-between moments that matter most. After more than two decades behind the camera, my focus remains the same...creating meaningful, timeless images that families will treasure for years to come.
We are located in TWO locations. A residential neighborhood in Newport Beach, CA and the border of Queen Creek and Gilbert, AZ. Our small Newport Beach studio is part of a 1/2 acre garden. We get the benefit of having studio space as well as an outdoor garden to photograph our clients.

Brian and Jennifer met in 1998 and were married five years later in 2003. They built their life together in Newport Beach, where they raised their three boys.

Jennifer is the owner/photographer behind Gilmore Studios. Since 2002, she has built the studio with a focus on meaningful portraits and an experience that feels organized, calm, and personal.
Jennifer has always had a passion for photography. After earning her degree in psychology, she began working as a wedding photographer’s assistant. She practiced constantly, studied the craft, and before long was asked to step in as the lead photographer at a wedding.
It was both nerve-wracking and exciting, but that moment confirmed what she already knew, this was what she was meant to do. As she continued developing her skills, the opportunities grew. Within a short time, she launched her own photography business.
Since 2002, Jennifer has photographed over 500 weddings and thousands of portrait sessions. As her couples grew into families, the studio grew as well. What began with weddings naturally expanded into newborn, family, and children’s portraiture, allowing her to document clients through every stage of life.
More than two decades later, she continues to photograph meaningful milestones with the same excitement and care she felt at that very first wedding.
