Debutante Fashion Show – Terranea Resort Photographer

Las Niñas Debutante Fashion Show and Rose Ceremony – Event Photography

We took a drive up the coast to the beautiful Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA for the Las Niñas debutante fashion show and rose ceremony. This is one of our favorite debutante events that we photograph each year! They had a really cute boutique shopping area right outside the ballroom. The production was top notch! There were lighting techs and video guys everywhere. The debutante fashion show was exactly like one you would see in a fashion magazine. The girls’ outfits were provided by Cason Couture and the boys fashions were provided by Blvd. and Friar Tux. Makeup was provided by Smashbox Cosmetics. All proceeds from the tickets and raffle are donated to the Orthopaedic Institute for Children. Be sure to check out the photos from the 2017 Las Niñas Evergreen Ball at the Four Seasons Beverley Wilshire Hotel from earlier this year.

The Las Niñas organization

Las Niñas is an amazing group made up of mother & daughter volunteers. Each girl in the senior class has contributed between 300-600 hours of volunteer service throughout her high school career. Their time is dedicated to helping poor families and their children, helping at the Orthopaedic Institute for Children hospital, and various other functions of the charity. For more information about this organization, please contact them here.

 

Event Photography

Gilmore Studios has been photographing Debutante Balls and events in Southern California since 2003. Jennifer Gilmore was a National Charity League debutante in Newport Beach during her teen years and loves working with these young women. Organizing event photography for large groups of people- in a short period of time is no easy task! Thanks to the hundreds of weddings they have photographed over the years, Jennifer and her husband Brian have no problem when it comes to working in a high paced environment. Gilmore Studios currently photographs various chapters for the National Charity League, Assistance League, and Las Ninas.

Senior 📸 Class of 2026 by Gilmore Studios

Do you have a personality portrait hanging in your home? 🤍

It’s not about perfect smiles or matching outfits.

It’s about capturing who your child actually IS right now.

Their expressions.
The way they laugh.
Their personality in this exact season of life.

I started doing these with my own kids and honestly… they’ve become some of my favorite things hanging in our home.

I update them yearly and one day, my plan is to have their future family personality photo hanging on the wall.

These aren’t just photos for now.

They become part of your family story.

Personality Portrait Sessions are available May 12th through June.

Comment PERSONALITY and I’ll send you all the information, available dates, and booking link directly in your DMs.

Prom fashion in 2026 just hits different.

The colors.
The textures.
The dresses with movement.
The perfectly fitted suits.

And somehow every friend group has their own vibe this year.

Honestly? Prom photos have turned into full-on fashion shoots and I’m not mad about it.

Save this for prom inspo later

Unique locations for a senior session.

If you want your photos to feel different… start here.

Museums
Industrial, bold, and full of character. Clean lines and colors.
Aircraft, hangars, and metal textures that create a strong, unique backdrop you won’t get anywhere else.

Disney World / Disneyland
Color, movement, personality.
It turns your session into an experience, not just photos.

Here’s how I approach locations like this:
We don’t just pick something “unique”… we pick something that actually fits you. Your style, your energy, and how you want your photos to feel.

Because the right location doesn’t just look good…
it makes your photos feel like you.

Save this for when you’re planning your senior session 👇
Would you go classic… or something completely different?
