Kind Words // Hillcrest High School⁠

"We recently worked with Gilmour Studios for a rebranding photo shoot and updated headshots of our key staff, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the results!⁠

The team were absolute professionals from start to finish. Everyone felt comfortable in front of the camera, worked seamlessly with our team, and captured each person’s personality beautifully. The turnaround was incredibly quick, and the quality of the photos is simply outstanding.⁠

We’re so grateful for their creativity and skill. Highly recommended to anyone looking for exceptional photography and a smooth, enjoyable experience! We are looking to have more done now the first round were so good!"

Welcome to Gilmour Studios. ✨

We’re a Hamilton-based photography studio creating imagery for people, brands, businesses, families, weddings, events, and all the beautifully chaotic in-between moments.

Our studio was built to feel relaxed, welcoming, and fun to be in, whether you’re here for updated headshots, branding content, family photos, a campaign shoot, or something a little more personal.

We’re big on:
• making people feel comfortable in front of the camera
• creating images that actually feel like you
• balancing polished with natural
• guiding you through the process so you’re never left wondering what to do with your hands 👀

From quick express sessions to full commercial shoots, this space has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of, and we’re so glad you’re here.❤️

Have you ever been to a book launch where the authors treat you to a three-course meal at one of the best restaurants in town?!⁠

I hadn’t either… until recently when I joined my mates from Rocketspark to celebrate the launch of their new book, Creative Freedom.⁠

I’d almost forgotten I’d written a page on photography for the book some time ago😅, so opening it up and seeing my writing and profile pic staring back at me was pretty fun! ⁠

The team at Rocketspark have always banged the drum for great photography on websites, I of course I’m bias but I love them for it.⁠

Thia book is going to be bloody useful for graphic designers and creatives! Definitely the type of keep on the table, with lots of tabs and dog ears type.⁠

It was a joy to celebrate this milestone with Jeremy, Grant, and the Rocketspark community. Congrats team!⁠

Get your hands on the book below!⁠

We’re hiring! 📢⁠

We are looking for a Studio Administration & Operations Coordinator⁠

If you’re the kind of person who gets excited about organised systems, colour-coded workflows, solving problems before they become disasters, and helping creative businesses function behind the scenes… keep reading.⁠

Gilmour Studios is growing quickly, and we’re looking for someone to become the operational backbone of the business. This is part studio operations, part client experience, part workflow wrangling, admin, and part “how did we survive before this person existed?”⁠

No two days look the same around here. One minute you might be managing client communication, the next resetting the studio, coordinating workflows, organising galleries, supporting marketing campaigns, or helping build systems that stop everything living inside Ruth’s brain.⁠

If you love variety, take initiative naturally, enjoy both people and process, and want to be part of a growing creative business that works hard and has fun while doing it, we’d love to hear from you.⁠

⁠The role is approximately 25–30 hours per week across five days, primarily based in our Hamilton studio. There is some flexibility around scheduling depending on studio needs, shoot days, deadlines and general workflow demands. This role has potential to grow into a full time position for the right person.⁠
