At Gilmore Studios, we are parents as well and have had years of experience photographing little ones. All it takes is a well-placed distraction and letting them have a little fun! Over the years of being in business (since 2002), we have learned the secrets of letting kids be kids and capturing the perfect moments in-between.
The growing years of our children is significant and MUST be documented. It is a special and magical phase of life where we watch our babies go from being newborns to teenagers. It’s also a great way to reminisce with them in the future and go over the days gone by together. What better way to do that than with portraits? Actually, it’s the best way to do that!
Any parent who has attempted to take even a selfie with their kid will tell you how impossible it is to take a single perfect shot. Taking portraits of any age group is hard enough and photographing children, especially the very young ones is an exercise in patience best left to the professionals.
As your child grows up, it is a good idea to document the stages through childhood; right from their first birthday to their graduation – every part of it will be wonderful and bring back great memories when you look back at the photographs later on. It might be their first participation in a sports game or another event in their life which you do not to forget very quickly.

What does an LDS mission session look like?
For this 18 year old, it meant portraits at the Gilbert Arizona Temple to mark the start of his mission journey, a milestone moment for him and his family.

🌼 Two looks good on her 🌼
This birthday session was all about spring. Yellow, white, and fresh greenery made the sweetest backdrop for celebrating this little girl turning two.
And one of my favorite parts? Mom and Dad joined in. Parents often think these sessions are just about the child, but being in the photos matters too. Years from now, she’ll look back and see not only her birthday joy but also the love surrounding her. 💛

This year’s mini sessions are in the studio on our clean white backdrop. It’s timeless, classic, and the perfect blank canvas to let your family’s personality shine.
