Gilbert AZ Family Photographer in Queen Creek AZ

When was the last time your family was all together — in front of the camera?
Between busy schedules, school activities, and daily life, it’s easy for years to pass without updating your family photos. But those everyday moments — the ones that feel ordinary now — will be the ones you’ll miss most later.

That’s why Gilmore Studios, your trusted Gilbert AZ Family Photographer serving Queen Creek, specializes in creating beautiful, timeless portraits that capture your family’s story exactly as it is right now.

Why Family Photography Is So Important

Family photos aren’t just about how you look — they’re about what life feels like in this season.

  • They tell your story. Every laugh, hug, and glance is part of your family’s journey.
  • They bring families closer. The session itself becomes a shared memory.
  • They preserve your legacy. These portraits are treasures your kids (and grandkids) will cherish forever.
  • They remind you what matters most. Photos have a beautiful way of slowing time and capturing connection.

What to Wear for Family Photos

Coordinating outfits can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be! Here are a few tips:

  • Start with neutrals. Cream, beige, tan, or muted tones photograph beautifully outdoors.
  • Add color thoughtfully. Soft blues, sage, and blush work great for Arizona landscapes.
  • Avoid logos or bold prints. These can distract from your family’s connection.
  • Coordinate, don’t match. Choose complementary tones and textures.
  • Dress comfortably. You’ll look best when you feel your best.

👉 Find stylish, photo-friendly outfits at Zara, H&M Family Collection, or Baltic Born.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.

I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.

I loved seeing this sweet couple again and their little dog. This year we did the session at  the San Juan Capistrano Mission.

It is such a good reminder to make photos part of your yearly routine. Life changes quickly, and having a collection of portraits over the years tells your story in the best way.

The colors are soft, the light is golden, and it is the perfect spot for families to relax and be themselves. This crew made it easy with so many laughs, hugs, and those little moments that remind me why I love photographing families.

Tip: The best time for fall photos is right before sunset when the light turns warm and glowy.

It was hard cramming an entire wedding day fit into less than three minutes for social media 🤣

It was such a beautiful day for an amazing couple, and both families are just the best. One of my favorite parts of my job is becoming friends with clients and this couple definitely has our 🫶 💕
