Costa Mesa Newborn Portrait Photographer

Costa Mesa Newborn Portrait Photographer – Orange County Baby Photography Studio

Gilmore Studios has been one of the top Costa Mesa Newborn Portrait Photographers since 2003! We pride ourselves on delivering a fun, professional, and painless newborn portrait experience. After your session, we will schedule your private viewing session.

You will get to view your photos on a large flat screen television so you can easily choose your favorites, create your baby announcement, or design your first baby album. We have hundreds of paper and frame samples to explore. Not sure what size to enlarge your portrait? No problem, just tape a 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of paper on your wall and snap a photo with your phone! Our print software will show you what size will look best in your home.

Our 2000 sq. ft. Costa Mesa Newborn Portrait studio is located in the Esplanade Business Park, just minutes from the 73, 55, and 405 freeways.

Contact us today to schedule your next newborn photography session!

Do you have a personality portrait hanging in your home? 🤍

It’s not about perfect smiles or matching outfits.

It’s about capturing who your child actually IS right now.

Their expressions.
The way they laugh.
Their personality in this exact season of life.

I started doing these with my own kids and honestly… they’ve become some of my favorite things hanging in our home.

I update them yearly and one day, my plan is to have their future family personality photo hanging on the wall.

These aren’t just photos for now.

They become part of your family story.

Personality Portrait Sessions are available May 12th through June.

Comment PERSONALITY and I’ll send you all the information, available dates, and booking link directly in your DMs.

Prom fashion in 2026 just hits different.

The colors.
The textures.
The dresses with movement.
The perfectly fitted suits.

And somehow every friend group has their own vibe this year.

Honestly? Prom photos have turned into full-on fashion shoots and I’m not mad about it.

Save this for prom inspo later

Unique locations for a senior session.

If you want your photos to feel different… start here.

Museums
Industrial, bold, and full of character. Clean lines and colors.
Aircraft, hangars, and metal textures that create a strong, unique backdrop you won’t get anywhere else.

Disney World / Disneyland
Color, movement, personality.
It turns your session into an experience, not just photos.

Here’s how I approach locations like this:
We don’t just pick something “unique”… we pick something that actually fits you. Your style, your energy, and how you want your photos to feel.

Because the right location doesn’t just look good…
it makes your photos feel like you.

Save this for when you’re planning your senior session 👇
Would you go classic… or something completely different?
