Gilmore Studios has become one of Orange County’s favorite destination family portrait photographers. Let us help you capture the perfect family portraits. Also serving Mesa, Gilbert, and Scottsdale.
Extended family portraits are typically for groups of 7 or more. We are very experienced with extended family portrait sessions and know how to get great photos with a lot of people involved. We always have two people, one to photograph and the other to get the children's attention. We photograph the entire group, individual families, grandparents with grandkids, and individual photos if desired.
We will do all the family combos, grandchildren with grandparents, and the whole family reunion. Your gallery will be online so everyone can see the photos!
For families traveling to Southern California on vacation, let’s meet up for a family portrait! We have met hundreds of traveling families at hotels, parks, beaches, and even Disneyland! We know the coastal area very well and are happy to help you find the perfect location for your session.

If you’re coming in from out of town and have a small window for your family portrait, we suggest you reserve your session at least 6 weeks in advance. Local families should try to book 3 to 4 weeks in advance if possible. Lates summer and early fall session book very quickly so book in advance to ensure you get the date you want.
We are so fortunate to live in a place where it’s photo season year-round. 🙂 There are so many great locations to photograph your session in. Parks, missions, beaches, urban locations, rustic, etc. You name it – Orange County, CA has something like it. Once you know the style you like – we will help narrow down the exact location that fits your vision.
No problem! We are happy to assist you with your color palette and make sure everyone looks great. We typically advise your color scheme before you leave on vacation so everyone has time to coordinate.
After the session, images will be put online in a private gallery for you in 7-10 business days. You can select which digital images you want in your collection and can also order prints, albums, canvases, and more.
Outdoor family portrait sessions are scheduled either early morning or late afternoon (1-2 hours before sunset) to catch the sun at the most flattering time. Location and season determine the best time for outdoor portraits.
Tomorrow they say I do! I’m so excited for them 💕
Six looks so good on her 🎈
We kept this session simple and sweet with a soft pink backdrop and balloons to match her fun personality. Then we brought the whole family in on the white backdrop, even their adorable pup.
I love sessions like this because they show how much personality shines through when the focus stays on your child and the people they love most.

Every one year old is different. Some dive right in, some take their time, and some are not quite sure what to think at first. That is what makes these sessions so fun. You never know what you are going to get.
I love seeing their personalities shine through, especially when parents join in for a few photos at the beginning. It is such a sweet way to celebrate the first year and capture all the joy that comes with it.

I loved seeing this sweet couple again and their little dog. This year we did the session at the San Juan Capistrano Mission.
It is such a good reminder to make photos part of your yearly routine. Life changes quickly, and having a collection of portraits over the years tells your story in the best way.

The colors are soft, the light is golden, and it is the perfect spot for families to relax and be themselves. This crew made it easy with so many laughs, hugs, and those little moments that remind me why I love photographing families.
Tip: The best time for fall photos is right before sunset when the light turns warm and glowy.
