Build A Snowman Stand – Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland at Gilmore Studios: A Magical “Build A Snowman” Session

At Gilmore Studios in Newport Beach, the magic of winter comes alive, no matter the season. Our latest in-studio photography session, “Build A Snowman,” captures the wonder and joy of a 2-year-old girl as she creates her very own snowman in our winter wonderland-themed setup.

As the little girl entered the studio, her eyes lit up with delight. The space was transformed into a snowy paradise, complete with gently falling snowflakes and a charming snowman waiting to be built. The soft snow blanketed the ground, creating a perfect setting for this whimsical moment.

Dressed in her cozy winter outfit, the little girl eagerly began her task. With a big smile, she placed the snowman’s hat on his head, carefully positioned his carrot nose, and wrapped a snug winter scarf around his neck. Each step was filled with curiosity and excitement, and our cameras captured every precious moment.

The indoor snowfall added an extra layer of enchantment, making the experience even more special. As the snowflakes gently fell, they created a sense of wonder that only a true winter wonderland can provide. The little girl’s laughter and joy were contagious, filling the studio with warmth despite the chilly theme.

At Gilmore Studios, we love creating these magical moments for our clients. Our “Build A Snowman” session is perfect for families looking to capture the spirit of winter in a unique and memorable way. Whether it’s your child’s first experience with snow or a special holiday tradition, this session is designed to create lasting memories.

A little something I cooked up 

24 years of weddings later and apparently I still haven’t gotten this photography thing out of my system 

Honestly?
Wedding photography is basically part chaos, part storytelling, and part catching moments couples didn’t even realize were happening.

And somehow those always end up being the photos people love the most. 🤍

Brides…What’s the ONE photo you already know you want from your wedding day? OR the one photo you treasure from your wedding?
The NCL mother-daughter moments were EVERYTHING at the Rainbow Luncheon.

Watching these girls walk beside their moms with so much confidence, grace, and personality was honestly emotional to photograph. 

Because behind every confident daughter is usually a mom who spent years showing up quietly in the background the whole way.

And somehow events like this make you realize just how fast it all goes. 

To all the NCL moms:
you can truly see your love reflected in these girls. 🤍✨

Tag an NCL mom or daughter who’s been through this or has their moment coming soon.
They wanted additional photos at the beach, so we planned a separate session where they could slow down, be present and just enjoy being together without the structure of the wedding day timeline.#trashthedress #weddingday
After 6+ years of service, friendships, events, meetings, volunteering, and growing up together… getting to watch these NCL senior ticktockers have their moment on the runway felt really special. 🤍

You could see the confidence, personality, and excitement in every single one of them.

And honestly?
I think moments like this hit the parents even harder 

Because suddenly the little kids you went to NCL events are young adults walking across a runway representing the organizations, brands, and people they’ve spent years supporting and learning from.

So proud of all of these incredible girls and everyone they represented ✨Props to JC Fashion Events for organizing an amazing fashion show.

NCL families, you are raising some truly amazing humans 🤍

“I know I should sleep… but the voices in my head go…” 👀

“Parents really don’t take enough photos once their kids become teenagers.” 

I think this stage matters MORE than people realize.

Because this is the season right before everything changes.

Before college.
Before moving out.
Before life starts looking different.

And one day these stop feeling like “just senior photos”…

And start feeling like proof of what life looked like before they grew up. 🤍

Moms of teens… comment book to plan a session this summer!
