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.

Photos might seem like a big investment today.

But one day you’ll be looking at a portrait of your child and realize you would give anything to go back to that exact stage for just five minutes.

The missing teeth.
The freckles.
The mischievous smile.
The way they looked before life started changing so quickly.

That’s why I love Personality Portraits.

They’re not about matching outfits, perfect locations, or milestones.

They’re about preserving who your child is right now.

Because one day these portraits won’t just be photos on a wall.

They’ll be reminders of a childhood that went by way too fast. 🤍

And that’s when they become priceless.

My camera roll is full… maybe I should delete some photos.” 👀

…oh wait nevermind.

Because somehow every wedding gives me another set of moments I physically cannot delete.

The veil fixes.
The nervous smiles before the ceremony.
The way couples look at each other when they think nobody’s paying attention. 🤍

And honestly?
Those little in-between moments usually end up meaning the most later.

That’s why I overshoot every single wedding ✨

Brides… are you more excited for the posed photos or the candid moments?

The timeline works for the couple. Not the other way around.

He was nervous before the first look. Not because anything was wrong. Because something that mattered enormously was about to happen.

So we took a minute. Sat in his room. Took a breath. Let him gather himself.

This is where 24 years and a psychology degree actually show up. Not in the posing. In knowing when to slow everything down so the couple can feel what is happening to them.

We walked down. She turned around.

The rest of the day was the smoothest wedding I can remember.

This is what I want for every couple I photograph. Not just beautiful images. A day that actually felt like theirs.
