2018 Santa Experience video

Don’t waste your time at the mall waiting for 20 seconds with Santa! Give your child an experience they won’t forget! This year’s “Santa Experience” will be taking place at Gilmore Studios in Costa Mesa. Santa will be popping in to decorate gingerbread houses with your little one! We will have a replica set of Santa’s North Pole kitchen in the studio. As your child interacts with Santa, we will be snapping away, capturing Christmas keepsakes to be enjoyed for years to come!

What actually happens during prom photos 👀
Here’s how to instantly make your prom photos look better:
• Don’t stand stiff
• Keep movement in the poses
• Relax your hands and shoulders
• Stay close together in couple photos
• Laugh, talk, and i
That’s what I’m guiding the entire session.
Because the best prom photos don’t always happen from perfect posing...
They happen when everyone finally relaxes and starts having fun. #

If younger me could see the amount of emails, sessions, editing, timelines, client calls, blogs, courses, and random to-do lists now… she’d be SHOCKED. 😅

I started Gilmore Studios in 2002 with no roadmap. Just a camera, a love for photography, and honestly… a huge love for the business side of it too.

Since then, I’ve photographed so many stages of life:
weddings, newborns, seniors, cake smashes, families, commercial shoots, events… and somehow many of those clients became lifelong friends along the way. 🤍

What started as “I think I want to do photography” turned into over two decades of documenting people’s biggest moments and helping other photographers grow businesses of their own.

And honestly?
I still love it just as much.

Hi, I’m Jennifer Gilmore — photographer, business owner, and mentor for photographers ready to grow ✨

Top locations in Arizona for a senior session 👀

And each one gives you a completely different look.

Riparian Preserve
Greenery, paths, variety, and softer natural tones.

Queen Creek Fields
Open space, warm light, and that dreamy golden hour look everybody loves.

Queen Creek Wash
More texture, desert tones, and a slightly edgier feel.

Here’s how I help seniors choose:
We don’t just pick a location because it’s pretty. We pick one that fits your outfits, personality, and the overall vibe you want your photos to have.

Because location changes EVERYTHING.

Save this for your senior photo inspo later
Which one would you choose?
