Newborn Portrait | Meet Sienna | Orange County Baby Photographer

Orange County Baby Photographer – Studio Session

Most newly married couples that either blend pets or buy one together know that those “fur babies” are like their first baby, so we love that when this couple brought their gorgeous newborn in for her first portraits, they brought their “fur baby,” a teacup Yorkie, in too. It was a whole lot of cute going on in Gilmore Studios!

We always tell clients that if they aren’t sure what to wear for pictures, classic white is timeless and doesn’t need much thought (because we all know there isn’t a lot of time or energy for outfit planning when you’re a new parent!). The warm lighting of our studio and our availability of backdrops keeps the white from washing out skin tones. You can see how this new mom and dad just glow with happiness! (Also, not fair that mom looks this gorgeous after just giving birth a few weeks before!)

Colors, Textures, and Themes!

This couple chose a soft pink and a silvery plain backdrop, and one of our favorite rustic chevron wood backdrops, all of which added soft color and textural interest and kept the white interesting.

Mom and I chose several perfect wraps and headbands from our huge in-studio collection that highlighted sweet baby girl. We think she looks like a total fairy princess in the one with her tiny tiara on! The dog was a wonderful model, too. It looks like she’s warmed nicely to the idea of being a “big sister.” Her special pink collar tag even says so!

We love working with unique newborn sessions, so whether it’s bringing siblings, grandparents, a special antique or heirloom, or a pet to join in the picture, let us know what you would like and we will do all we can to make it work. Also, consider taking advantage of our three-portrait special that will cover newborn, six month, and one year portraits for your baby with a discounted price and easy pre-booking!

    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.
