Senior Portrait Photography – Orange County

Another great senior portrait photography session is on the books! We had a great time taking these portraits for Kaylee at the Newport Beach Back Bay. We actually photographed her parents wedding, too!

There are so many things to see on the Back Bay Loop Trail, from scenic sights to science and discovery! Here are some of our favorites that your family may enjoy.

  1. Back Bay Science Center at Shellmaker Island – At the BBSC, you can discover and enjoy hands on the ecology of the Newport Bay
  2. Newport Aquatic Center – Want to rent a kayak, take sailing lessons, or much more? Then visit the Newport Aquatic Center for some water fun!
  3. Upper Castaways Park – Upper Castaways Park features some amazing views, paths, and sights of the ocean and the bay.
  4. Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve – Are you looking for a great place to camp with your family? Then the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve has you covered!

Simple Sophistication

We are on Instagram
Simple backdrop, classic outfits, and two brothers full of personality.

These sessions are some of my favorites because they let kids just be themselves. No props, no distractions, just genuine expressions that parents will treasure for years.

I have been photographing this family since their wedding, and every year just gets better. The Back Bay gave us such a beautiful backdrop for their fall session this year.

It is so special watching families grow and being the one to document each season of life.

What will you want to remember about this season of life?

It might not be the big milestones but the way your kids fit perfectly in your arms right now, the laughter that fills your home, and how it feels to just be together.

Family photos are more than pictures, they are reminders of what matters most. 🤍

🎅 Santa has a message for you!

He is stopping by Gilmore Studios on November 15 and 22 for our Santa Experience, and you are invited. This is not your typical mall Santa visit.

Your child will find their name on the nice list, ask Santa anything they want, read part of their favorite Christmas story, and share a cookie with him. They will even leave with a certificate for making the nice list and a special gift to remember their visit.

Comment SANTA2025 below and I will send you the link to grab your spot before they are gone.

This dance feels like it was just yesterday.

Prom was such a fun night, and looking back at these photos makes me miss Tyler even more while he is away serving a church mission.

It is crazy how fast these moments go by, but I am so proud of the young man he has become. 💙
