Mommy and Me Newport Photographer

There’s something timeless and special about a Mommy and Me Newport Photographer session. It’s a chance to freeze this sweet season with your little one, whether your baby is tiny, your toddler is wild and giggly, or your older child just wants a day with Mom. In the studio, these sessions feel relaxed, warm, and all about connection.

At Gilmore Studios, your Mommy and Me Newport Photographer, we love crafting portraits that celebrate the bond between mothers and children. Our Newport Beach studio is cozy and simple, letting your personalities and connection shine.

Why Choose a Mommy and Me Newport Photographer Session?

A Mommy and Me Newport Photographer session is perfect anytime of year, no worrying about weather or location changes. Our studio provides a clean, timeless backdrop for sweet snuggles, twirls, and real moments.

Maybe you’re marking Mother’s Day, celebrating a birthday, or just wanting a new gallery wall for your home. These portraits remind your child they are loved, cherished, and your biggest adventure.

Tips for a Beautiful Mommy and Me Studio Session

Keep It Simple
Soft, neutral outfits work beautifully. Think flowy dresses for Mom and cozy knits for little ones, they photograph timelessly.

Bring a Special Touch
Favorite books, a blanket, or a small heirloom toy can add meaning. Sometimes a quick tickle fight brings out those real giggles!

Relax and Play
There’s no need for stiff posing. The best images come from real moments, whispering secrets, big bear hugs, or playing peek-a-boo.

Book During Happy Hours
Choose a time of day when your child is happiest, after a nap and snack usually works best.

What a night!
The Assistance League Newport Mesa Ball was all the best things — beautiful, lively, and full of so many people coming together for a good cause. The dresses were gorgeous too!
It’s always such an honor to capture an event that does so much good for our community.
Thank you for letting me press pause on this night, so you can remember how special it really was.

Celebrating L + E! Their engagement party was full of sweet moments, laughter, and the kind of little glances that remind you what it’s all about.

They really do bring out the best in each other and that’s my favorite thing to capture. L’s parents went above and beyond to make it a memorable day for them

✨ Ever wondered what a metal print looks like?
This video is a quick peek at one of my favorite ways to print your images.
Bold, vibrant, and ready to hang…metal prints make your photos stand out in the best way.
Your memories deserve to live on your walls, not just your phone.

A lot of parents don’t realize how sweet (and practical!) a quick tub session can be. Not only does it help clean up all that frosting, but babies love it — the splashes and giggles make for some of the cutest photos from the whole session.
It’s the perfect way to end on a happy note, with fresh, squeaky-clean memories to go with the messy ones! It’s just water - so make sure to give a real bath once you get home 😃

Here’s my secret…don’t fight it. You play, you laugh, you follow their lead.
The best photos happen when everyone’s relaxed, a little bit silly, and free to be themselves.
Real is what you’ll want to remember later.
