Costa Mesa baby studio – Newborn Boy

Newborn baby boy – Costa Mesa Baby Studio

Baby Miles has the best newborn hair! You would never realize that he’s less than one week old, right? His parents brought all the fun props and stuffed animal toys (he loves his monkeys!) They wanted a very classic simple look for their portrait session so most of the photographs were done on a grey blanket. Daddy wanted to have at least one pose, so the football and golf ball was for him! We look forward to watching this little man grow up.

About Our Newborn Portrait Studio

Our Costa Mesa baby studio has been at the Red Hill location for three years now! Time goes by so quick- seems like we just moved in 🙂 Our original studio was in Newport Beach near the Back Bay. We photographed babies at that location for 10 years! It was beautiful but very small and our staff would no longer fit there. The 1/2 acre garden is still available for sessions at your request!
