Three generations of the Figge family have dedicated their lives to transforming your most precious moments into heirloom-quality artwork — made to be cherished today and passed down for generations.
75+
Years of Artistry
Over 75 years of continuous photography — a track record that speaks for itself across multiple generations of Newport Beach families.
The Figge family's devotion to photographic excellence has been passed down through three generations — bringing depth of craft that cannot be replicated.
We are not just photographers in Newport Beach — we are part of it. Decades of relationships mean we understand this community in ways outsiders never could.
Every portrait is crafted with longevity in mind — fine art prints and albums built to be passed from one generation to the next.
Our Story
We are The Figges — and for over 75 years, our family has been doing one thing with extraordinary devotion: creating beautiful photographic artwork for Newport Beach families. What began in 1945 has grown into a three-generation legacy of artistry, care, and deep community connection.
Our studio sits at the intersection of fine art and family storytelling. We believe a photograph is not just a picture — it is an object of meaning, something to hang above the mantle, pass between siblings, and someday hand to your children. That belief shapes everything we do, from how we light a portrait to how we guide you through a wedding day.
From Balboa Island to Corona del Mar and all the neighborhoods in between, we have had the privilege of witnessing and preserving the lives of families across generations. We don't just photograph moments. We illuminate and celebrate your life.

What We Create
We capture the full emotion of your wedding day — the quiet moments and the grand ones — with the artistry and discretion your story deserves.
Begin your forever with a beautiful session that reflects who you are as a couple, set against the stunning backdrop of Newport Beach and beyond.
From intimate sessions to large multi-generational gatherings, we create portraits that celebrate your family as it is right now — to be treasured always.
Children grow fast. Our children's portraits freeze the magic of each stage in fine art imagery that parents return to again and again through the years.
Mark this milestone with portraits that honor how far they've come and hint at the extraordinary future ahead. A Figge Studio tradition.
We bring the same artistry and attention to detail to commercial work — producing professional images that build brand credibility and tell your business story.
Why Figge Studio
The Figge family has spent over 75 years perfecting the art of portrait and wedding photography, passing down both technique and passion across three generations of artists.
Every image is crafted to hang on your wall and be handed down — not just stored on a hard drive. We create fine art portraits built to last lifetimes.
From Balboa Island to Corona del Mar, we know the light, the landscapes, and the families of this community intimately — and it shows in every photograph.
From newborns to engagements, school portraits to weddings — Figge Studio is the photographer families return to at every milestone across a lifetime.
You work with a true artist who takes the time to understand your family's personality, so every session feels natural and every portrait feels authentically you.
Businesses throughout the Newport Beach area trust Figge Studio to produce polished, professional imagery that elevates their brand and commands attention.
How It Works
Every session is guided with intention, care, and the artistic eye that defines Figge Studio.
We start with a conversation — learning about your family, your vision, and what this session means to you. Great portraits begin with genuine understanding.
Whether in our Newport Beach studio or at a location that matters to you, your session is relaxed, guided, and designed to bring out authentic moments.
We walk you through your images together, helping you select the ones that truly move you — so nothing important gets left behind.
Your selected images are transformed into finished artwork — fine art prints, albums, or wall pieces — created to museum-quality standards and built to last.
