Costa Mesa Kid’s Photographer – Duckling Sessions

Costa Mesa Kid’s Photographer – Spring Duckling Mini-Sessions

March 30th 2019

Come to the studio on March 30th for our Spring Duckling mini sessions!

Session fee: $95
Call 949.698.3968 to RSVP

We wanted to do something new and exciting for the kids this past Easter. Easter baskets and colored eggs just wasn’t doing it for us- so we stepped up our game! Brian found a farm out in Chino Hills that raises ducks, chickens, and pigs. The problem was, we didn’t want to actually keep the ducks when the mini session ended. We asked if we could rent them for a day and they were good with that! The ducks were such a hit with the kids! From 1 to 16 years old, everyone was in love with these cute little things. We built three sets to choose from but most people wanted the clean white background. The sessions started at 9AM and went all the way until 4pm. Judging by the response, I’m pretty sure we will be doing this again next spring!

Gilmore Studios has been a Costa Mesa Kid’s Photographer since 2003.

What actually happens during prom photos 👀
Here’s how to instantly make your prom photos look better:
• Don’t stand stiff
• Keep movement in the poses
• Relax your hands and shoulders
• Stay close together in couple photos
• Laugh, talk, and i
That’s what I’m guiding the entire session.
Because the best prom photos don’t always happen from perfect posing...
They happen when everyone finally relaxes and starts having fun. #

If younger me could see the amount of emails, sessions, editing, timelines, client calls, blogs, courses, and random to-do lists now… she’d be SHOCKED. 😅

I started Gilmore Studios in 2002 with no roadmap. Just a camera, a love for photography, and honestly… a huge love for the business side of it too.

Since then, I’ve photographed so many stages of life:
weddings, newborns, seniors, cake smashes, families, commercial shoots, events… and somehow many of those clients became lifelong friends along the way. 🤍

What started as “I think I want to do photography” turned into over two decades of documenting people’s biggest moments and helping other photographers grow businesses of their own.

And honestly?
I still love it just as much.

Hi, I’m Jennifer Gilmore — photographer, business owner, and mentor for photographers ready to grow ✨

Top locations in Arizona for a senior session 👀

And each one gives you a completely different look.

Riparian Preserve
Greenery, paths, variety, and softer natural tones.

Queen Creek Fields
Open space, warm light, and that dreamy golden hour look everybody loves.

Queen Creek Wash
More texture, desert tones, and a slightly edgier feel.

Here’s how I help seniors choose:
We don’t just pick a location because it’s pretty. We pick one that fits your outfits, personality, and the overall vibe you want your photos to have.

Because location changes EVERYTHING.

Save this for your senior photo inspo later
Which one would you choose?
