Maternity & Newborn Photography Packages

Maternity & Newborn Photography Packages at Gilmore Studios

For the couple that wants to be sure each stage is documented, we offer maternity & newborn photography packages! We will get your family on the calendar so you don’t need to even think about it. Most of our couples end up purchasing the “Watch me grow” package as well. This package documents 3 month, 6 month (sitting up) and 1st birthday. Your new baby will change so much in his/her first year of life, you will treasure these photos for decades to come!

Maternity & Newborn photography packages are great as gifts for family members, and are perfect for decorating your brand new nursery. This outdoor maternity session was done on the beach in Corona Del Mar. The newborn portraits were done in our studio in Costa Mesa. Maternity & newborn photography packages are so much fun, as we get to be a part of the beautiful journey towards birth with expecting parents! Thanks so much to this family for inviting us to be a part of this little girl’s story!

One of my love languages really is documenting life. 🤍

Maybe that’s why I love cake smash sessions so much.

Because babies don’t stay babies for very long.

One day they’re learning to sit up.
The next they’re smashing cake and celebrating their first birthday.
And before you know it, they’re heading off to kindergarten.

That’s why I take so many photos.

Not because every moment is perfect.

But because every stage is fleeting.

The cake will be gone.
The decorations will come down.
The outfits won’t fit anymore.

But the photos will still be there.

A reminder of who they were, what they looked like, and how much joy they brought into this season of your life. 🤍

Parents, what’s one thing your little one does right now that you never want to forget?

Pick something you love and make that your career. Honestly, that’s kind of what happened.

I never imagined that setting up backdrops, planning themes, making silly noises to get a baby to smile, and celebrating first birthdays would become my job.

But here we are. 🥹

And after all these years, I still get excited watching a theme come together and seeing a little one’s personality shine once they step into the studio.

Because cake smash sessions aren’t really about the cake.

They’re about celebrating a milestone that only happens once.

And getting to be a small part of that never gets old. 🎂

What’s something you could talk about or do all day and never get tired of?

Pelican Hill Resort + a gorgeous sunset + incredible food = an evening I didn’t want to end. 🧡 Had the best time covering this event for ABOG (Dallas, TX). The boho vibes were unmatched and decor was beyond. This is what happens when a great group of people gathers in a beautiful place.

This is just me being sarcastic - but some might be a little true. 😂

The question that starts almost every cake smash conversation:

What themes can we do?
Honestly — almost anything.

But here is what I actually recommend.

Choose something they are into right now. Whatever phase they are in at this exact age. The dinosaurs. The rubber ducks. The princesses. The trucks. The thing they carry everywhere and sleep with and talk about constantly.

Because here is what nobody tells you about cake smash sessions: in ten years that photo is going to show you exactly who your child was at this age. Not just what they looked like. Who they were.
That is worth capturing.

We have a full theme library on our website — but if you do not see something that fits your child we will build it custom. No two sessions have to look the same because no two kids are the same.
For this session we planned everything together from the start. Rubber ducky theme. Portraits first. Then family photos. Then cake.
And before we ever talked about the set — we talked about what she wanted to do with the photos.
She chose an album.

Because digitals are beautiful. But an album is something her daughter will open when she is grown and understand immediately.
What theme are you thinking for your little one? Drop it in the comments — I want to see what phase you are in right now.
