Gilmore Studios works with many groups including National Charity League, Assistance League, and Las Ninas (Las Madrecitas) for Debutante Ball event portraits. We will organize all the family and group portraits as well as cover the actual event. We include digital images and can create gorgeous leather photo albums. We also photograph other events for these organizations like fashion shows, father/daughter tributes, tea/rose ceremonies, and Rainbow Luncheons. We organize and photograph numerous debutante portrait sessions in our private 1/2 acre garden in Newport Beach every year. The garden has a large synthetic turf area perfect for keeping those white dresses clean! We can also come to you for your group portraits if Newport is too far.

Are you struggling to find great photos to post on social media for your business? Is it stressful to figure out what to post each week? Gilmore Studios will spend a few hours with you to document numerous different lifestyle looks, locations, details, scenery and more so that your instagram can be filled without you having to think about it for the next 30-90 days.

Our Red Carpet Event photograph is perfect for adding a little extra pizazz to your celebration. We can bring one of our backdrops or we can set up at your personalized step and repeat that you provide. Professional lighting and photographer included. All images will be available on an online gallery for guests to download their images. A great way to get guests involved at your event and to remember this fun occasion.

Corporate/Commercial sessions are a great option if you need to document a seminar, photograph your establishment, or just simply to update your website. We will connect with you prior to the day to talk about what your end goal is in regards to the photographs. All images will be uploaded online and a private link will be sent to you to download the high-resolution images. From business workshops to specialty schools, this option is great for any kind of business looking to freshen up their images.

If your kids are home for the holidays, do this one thing.
Take new photos together. When kids grow up and move out, opportunities feel smaller. Make the most of the moments you do have. These years are worth remembering.
Do you know the number one reason people regret skipping photos?
Because life looks different faster than they expected. The kids grow, seasons shift, and all of a sudden years have passed. A session is a pause button and a gift to your future self.
Parents ask: What if my child cries with Santa?
It is completely fine. We take our time, let them warm up, and follow their lead. Some kids jump right in, others are more timid and shy. Both are normal and both make sweet memories.
What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?
This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.
Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.
Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
