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.

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 ✨

Class of 2026

📸 by Cody - Gilmore Studios
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.
