Canyon Park – Twins Photography Session

There’s something extra special about photographing twins — double the giggles, double the personality, and double the sweet moments you’ll want to remember forever. Our recent Canyon Park – Twins Photography Session was the perfect example of how beautiful and relaxed a family session in nature can be.

At Gilmore Studios, we love helping families capture real, joy-filled moments that feel authentic to who they are. Canyon Park is one of our favorite locations for outdoor family portraits because it’s a local gem that feels peaceful and open, with plenty of room for kids to explore. For the Bulleri twins, it was the ideal spot to run, play, and just be themselves.

Why Choose Canyon Park for Your Twins Photography Session

A Canyon Park – Twins Photography Session blends the beauty of nature with the energy of childhood. The open trails, tall grasses, and golden light make this park a photographer’s dream. It’s perfect for families who love candid moments and want their portraits to feel warm and timeless.

What makes photographing twins so special is capturing the bond they share — the way they look at each other, the playful chases, and the giggles that come from being best friends for life. Canyon Park’s natural space makes it easy to let kids roam free, so we can capture those spontaneous, genuine connections.

Local Tip: Canyon Park is conveniently located in Newport Coast and is part of the Newport Beach Parks system. After your session, you can enjoy a family picnic or take a short drive to Crystal Cove State Park for more adventures!

Tips for a Beautiful Canyon Park Twins Session

Plan for Playtime: Twins love to run and explore — so dress them in comfortable outfits that let them move freely.

Bring Favorite Items: A blanket for snuggles, a favorite toy, or a special snack can help keep them happy between shots.

Coordinate, Don’t Match: Outfits that coordinate but don’t completely match allow each twin’s personality to shine.

Golden Hour Magic: The best light at Canyon Park is just before sunset when the golden glow adds warmth to every image.

Relax and Have Fun: The best moments come when you forget the camera is there and simply enjoy the time with your kids.

Make a Day of It

How do you elevate a cake smash session?
It starts with the outfit.

This little girl came in with the most adorable pastel circus themed outfits. One for portraits, one for the smash. And honestly? It took the entire gallery to another level.

I provide the theme and backdrop. You bring the outfits to match. When those two things come together, the photos go from cute to wow.

That’s it. That’s the secret. 🎪🩷
