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.

Mini sessions are very popular and only happen a few times a year. Gilmore Studios Mini Sessions are typically designed around holidays and are always fun and unique. These sessions are perfect for young children.

There is no perfect time.
I hear this all the time from parents:
“We should wait until things calm down.”
“We just need to get through this week.”
“Maybe next season…”
But the truth is, there’s always something. Schedules stay full. Kids stay unpredictable. The moments worth remembering rarely wait until everything’s just right.
The beauty of these sessions is that they work with real life - as it is. No matching outfits, no rushing to catch golden hour, no pressure for perfection. Just your child, being themselves. And that? That’s what lasts.
This season is enough. Your child, just like this, is worth remembering.
Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here.
I’m so lucky to be doing life with @briangilmore I love you so much! Happy birthday old man 💕💕💕
