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.

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.

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. ❤️
