Capturing Sweet Moments: “Love is in the Air” Studio Session

At Gilmore Studios, we love creating magical moments that capture the essence of childhood. Our latest session featured a delightful two-year-old girl surrounded by a backdrop that truly embodies the theme “Love is in the Air.”

A Backdrop Full of Charm

The scene was set with a hand-painted backdrop of a whimsical park, where trees burst with pink blossoms. A quaint path meandered through the middle, inviting our little subject to explore. Heart banners strung across the trees added a touch of sweetness, making the setting feel like a dreamy spring day.

A Day Full of Joy

As soon as the session began, our tiny model’s eyes lit up with wonder. She was captivated by the pink flowers and heart banners, creating a picture-perfect moment that reflected pure joy. The backdrop provided the perfect setting to capture her curiosity and the innocence of this precious stage in her life.

Capturing the Magic

With each click of the camera, we captured the magic of childhood—her playful steps along the path, her giggles as she reached for the hearts hanging from the trees, and the twinkle in her eyes as she basked in the beauty around her. These are the moments that make photography so special, allowing families to cherish these fleeting stages for years to come.

A Session to Remember

The “Love is in the Air” session was more than just a photography session; it was an experience filled with laughter, love, and memories that will be treasured forever. Whether it’s the soft pink blooms or the heart-filled ambiance, this backdrop has a special way of celebrating the joy and love that comes with being two years old.

Simple Sophistication

We are on Instagram
1. Your baby sets the pace and that’s how it should be.
Newborn sessions are slow, quiet, and flexible. Diaper changes and cuddles? All expected. We’re on baby time, always.
2. The simple shots are the ones you’ll treasure.
You don’t need a dozen props. Some of the most timeless images are the ones where baby is just wrapped up in your arms, barely posed, just…loved.
3. Your only job is to show up.
You don’t have to clean the house, bring Pinterest ideas, or stress about how your baby will behave. We’ve got it covered, you’re doing great already.
1. Your baby might not “smash” the cake and that’s OK.
Some babies dive in face first, and some barely touch it. Either way, it’s adorable, and we’ll get great photos no matter how messy (or tidy!) it gets.
2. Keep the outfit simple and comfy.
Tutus and bow ties are cute, but comfort is key. If your little one isn’t loving the outfit, it’ll show. We always say: one outfit for portraits, one for smashing, and keep it soft and easy to move in!
3. Timing matters more than you think.
We’ll plan your session around your baby’s happiest time of day, usually after a nap and snack. That way we get smiles instead of meltdowns.
WE. ARE. TIRED. (Tag your _ _friends!)
The difference is in the details….
This is the part you don’t always see… but it’s where the magic happens.
The hours spent editing every image by hand.
Adjusting color, light, skin tones — without losing the realness.
Bringing out the magic you might not have noticed in the moment.
📸 Want that kind of attention to detail?
You know where to find me.
Because you can feel their love in this shot.

There’s always one photo from a session that just sticks. It’s not always the most perfect… but it’s the most them. This is one of mine from this session. ❤️
