Karina Koba | Newborn Photographer in Irvine, Orange County & Los Angeles

Karina was lovely to work with. We were running a few minutes late and she was very patient with us. Once we got there she went right to work. Just grabbed the baby and did her thing. We were so worried because my baby really doesn’t like changing or getting dressed! She goes into a very panic state and with Karina she only had a few hiccups. She really has an angelic touch to her. The prof turn out was supposed to be a week and she got it back to me the same day. Once I made my picks for the edits Karina gave me the edits back in two days. The photos were beautiful it really was hard to choose. The prof were beautiful and perfect on their own! They really didn’t need to be edit. Thank you for capturing my princess.

We had such a wonderful experience with Karina. She was incredibly flexible and made it so easy to message and book with her last minute. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us into her studio, which had a calm and comfortable environment perfect for our baby. One thing I really appreciated was how she shared all of the prop options ahead of time, so we could make our choices in advance and not feel overwhelmed during the session. She handled our newborn with such care, was patient and accommodating during feedings, and made the whole process stress-free. The turnaround time was impressive—she delivered proofs very quickly, and the final edits were not only beautifully done but also ready in no time. The photos came out amazing, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. All in all, it was truly a pleasure working with her, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for newborn photography.

We had the pleasure of working with Karina for our newborn photos, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. She came to our home for the session, which made everything so much more comfortable and convenient for us and our baby. Karina was incredibly patient, gentle, and loving—she truly has a gift for working with little ones. Even though our daughter was 5 weeks old, Karina kept her calm and content throughout the entire session. The photographs turned out absolutely stunning, capturing such special moments in the most beautiful way. We are beyond grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Karina to anyone looking for a newborn photographer.

Working with Karina was absolutely amazing. We booked a shoot during Christmas when my baby was less than 2 weeks old. A few days before the shoot, she provided a set of color schemes and outfits for me to choose ahead of time, explained my package, and sent an info sheet on how to prepare for the shoot. She was really clear and to the point which was really helpful in the stressful newborn days. On the day of, while we the parents were still struggling to navigate what to do with a newborn, Karina was a total expert and knew exactly how to put baby into the cutest poses, change multiple outfits, and managed to keep baby sleeping the whole time. She was very prepared, she brought a space heater, had white noise going on her phone, and her props and set up were very organized and clean. It was a treat watching her work magic and we loved how the photos came out. We highly recommend working with Karina and would definitely book her again in the future for more photos :)
