The {C} family had their family photos at the Los Angeles Arboretum, a local treasure in Arcadia (San Gabriel Valley). It’s a botanic garden with several ecosystems and habitats, including an awesome bamboo forest! So read on for our day of family photos at the LA arboretum.
Los Angeles Arboretum Family Photography
We started the family photography portrait session near the front of the LA Arboretum. By the way, we had a permit to do family photos there. It’s totally worth it, and it’s required. Make sure you check with them in advance of your shoot if your photographer is not doing their part to make sure the shoot is official. Note that this helps us keep treasures like the Arboretum accessible and affordable for all of us.
Family Photos in a Bamboo Forest
Then we wandered over to a bamboo forest, which is like getting teleported to a place far away from Los Angeles County. The bamboo shoots up really high, at least 25-30 ft high. It also helps protect our family from the sun with the abundant shade.
And notice how we go from a bamboo forest to a jungle with only a few steps.
Family Photography at the Waterfall
There is a beautiful waterfall at the rear of the LA arboretum, which always helps with family photos. We also used the nearby pond and small bridge for more.
And a Peacock!
The peacocks are a signature of the LA Arboretum.
Family Photos – LA Arboretum and Botanic Garden
This showcases family photos at the LA Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Family photography at the Los Angeles Arboretum is something that we have done for over 10 years now, and we are very knowledgeable on the location and the rules of such a wonderful local treasure (in the San Gabriel Valley). You can find more examples of bamboo in family photos on our website.
