Family Photographer Orange County

Family Photographer Orange County – First Year Baby Plan

Gilmore Studios is a professional family photographer located in Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, CA.

First off, let us start by saying we have enjoyed watching little Sienna grow up! Mom and Dad signed her up for our 1st year portrait plan so they would be able to enjoy all the little changes, for years to come. Documenting your family is important because your little ones will not only love seeing themselves, but more importantly, it’s how they remember you.

Life goes by fast, TAKE MORE PHOTOS!

If there is one thing we have learned as parents, it’s that it goes by way too fast! The hustle and bustle of our crazy lives causes you to miss booking a session. This is why the first year baby plan is a must! You will be planning that 1st birthday party before you know it.

To summarize, If you don’t make time to photograph these important events, you could end up with a few cell phone photos on your social media account to look back on. For that reason alone, be sure to take more photos!

We have loved documenting this little lady’s milestones! If you would like to view a great example of our first year plan, check out her sessions below.

This birthday session was all about spring. Yellow, white, and fresh greenery made the sweetest backdrop for celebrating this little girl turning two.

And one of my favorite parts? Mom and Dad joined in. Parents often think these sessions are just about the child, but being in the photos matters too. Years from now, she’ll look back and see not only her birthday joy but also the love surrounding her. 💛

This mama wanted something natural and timeless at the beach, and sunset gave her exactly that.

If you are planning maternity photos, think about sunrise or sunset. Those times of day truly make a difference in how relaxed and beautiful your images feel.

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.

Last year we photographed this family, and they brought so much fun energy into their session. Proof that even on a simple backdrop, your joy and connection make the photos unique.

If you’ve been waiting for updated portraits, this is the easiest (and most fun!) way to do it
When it’s 115° by midday, sunrise is your best friend. For this session, we met at sunrise to photograph an 18-year-old heading out on his LDS mission.
	•	The light is softer and golden…perfect for portraits.
	•	The heat hasn’t set in yet, so you’re more comfortable.
	•	And bonus: fewer crowds at popular locations.

If you’re planning a summer session in Arizona, sunrise is the way to go!
