Is your son or daughter preparing to leave on their LDS mission?
This is a once-in-a-lifetime milestone that deserves to be honored and remembered. A missionary session at the Gilbert Arizona LDS Temple not only provides beautiful portraits but also captures the faith, excitement, and dedication of this moment.
At Gilmore Studios, we love photographing missionary sessions because they’re more than just photos — they’re a lasting part of your family’s history.

When your missionary opens that call and prepares to serve, everything changes. This moment is filled with hope, faith, and anticipation — and it deserves to be documented. Professional portraits at the Gilbert Arizona Temple give you:
- Images for farewell invitations and announcements
- Photos to send on their mission and display at home
- A visual reminder of their testimony and commitment

What to Wear for LDS Missionary Photos
Outfits matter because they help create timeless portraits.
- For Elders: A well-fitted suit in black, navy, or grey with polished shoes.
- For Sisters: A modest dress or skirt and blouse in soft or neutral colors.
- Family members: Coordinating colors without busy prints — blues, whites, and soft earth tones photograph beautifully at the temple.
