And we always get just the children together. Here we have a brother with two sisters, so the poor guy is outnumbered LOL

We love the way the sun backlights the reeds surrounding the lake.

And this is an awesome shot of our family sitting on a dock next to one of the multiple lakes at Yorba Regional Park. Bonus points for getting a really cool reflection in the water!

We got individual portraits of each of the three children, also using a wooden fence lining one of the trails.

And then we get permutations such as each parent with each of the kids, or all girls or all boys.

Yorba Regional Park Family Photography

Yorba Regional Park is a large public park in Yorba Linda, Orange County. It’s a great park with many playgrounds, multiple lakes (and swam-shaped paddle boats), winding trails, and large patches of trees and vegetation. It’s saddled up next to the Santa Ana River, which is right next to the 91 freeway.

At Noguchi Garden, there is this artistic and modern pyramid up against a large white wall. The art installation is called California Scenario and is a collection of art installations that represent the Segerstrom family and Southern California.

And in front of the pyramid there is a man-made stream with small rocks as part of the art installation.

And it’s always fun to get the two brothers together.

And of course the kids see the large pyramid as a giant slide!

And we love it when we get those silly moments that are unique to their family, like this funny family photo.

There is a cool vertical water fountain that is amazing for photo composition.

There is a large desert mound with gravel and desert plants that also makes for a great backdrop.

Noguchi Garden Family Photography

This is one of those places where it’s a family photographer’s playground. There are so many backgrounds, angles, and lighting scenarios that make it so wonderful to photograph a location like this. It’s easily one of our favorite places for family photography in Orange County.

One thing about Claremont is there is a lot of texture and character to the buildings, like red brickwork.

Gotta love seeing two brothers getting along, at least for the photo session

We found this cool concrete wall that made a perfect backdrop for our family photos.

And who doesn’t love red bougainvilleas?

Downtown Claremont Family Photos

This is a downtown Claremont family photography portrait session with an Asian family of four (with two sons). It showcases family photos that we can get in the neighborhood surrounding downtown Claremont on the very east border of Los Angeles County. Claremont is the last city on the border right before it turns into San Bernardino County.

We are firm believers that love is love, and this is a beautiful example of a queer family that is just that: love!

And we always love the glow of the setting sun in our family photos.

And we absolutely love these adorably cute moments between a silly daughter and her two mothers.

And here are some downtown Claremont family photos with our lovely two moms and their daughter in front of Claremont City Hall. The City Hall in Claremont is over 100 years old, and reflects some of the history this town oozes.

And how cute is this reaction to her moms kissing!

Downtown Claremont Family Photography

This is an LGBTQ+ family photography portrait session of two lesbian mothers with their beautiful baby daughter. We are supportive of queer families and see the beauty in every family, since love is love! Also, the location of downtown Claremont was a perfect setting for their family photography.

Always love using colorful flowers as a backdrop for a family photo. The Glendora Arboretum is maintained and lovingly taken care of, which means we get a place that works year-round for family photography.

Sometimes we get light that just looks impossibly perfect. This is what we see here!

And we always love a little bit of silliness in our family photos.

When we have the family in front of us, we love to get permutations of all the members, like the ladies together, the brothers together, and capture these cute, fun, sweet, and genuine moments that the different family members have together.

And when possible, we also love to get individual portraits.

And of course we can’t the photo session without a picture of both of the brothers together!

And then switched to some really cute photos of the little one turning one!

Gotta love the one year old props, though we have one warning: we’ve seen more than one expensive metallic balloon fly off before we get to take a single photo of it! Make sure it has a solid weight and that it’s not held by an antsy and unpredictable child. No really, it starts with a gasp and then we look up and the balloon is already 20ft up in the air!

The great thing about photography at this park in Pasadena is that there is an iconic and historic bridge in the background of any photo pointing up.

And it’s always fun getting images of the siblings (in this case a brother and sister).

We love the lush green backdrop in this family photo.

And here’s a wide shot of them being under the bridge.

And this is a just a super cute image of the parents kissing while the two children hug in the background.

And it’s always nice to capture the love that started this whole family.

This is a Pasadena family photo session at the Desiderio Neighborhood Park, a relatively new park that sits underneath the Colorado Street Bridge near the 210 freeway. Make sure to check out other examples of our family photography on our blog, such as sessions at the iconic Pasadena City Hall.

Isn’t it adorable when the two sisters hug? We like to get family photos like this and capture them throughout the years, which is awesome for a sequence of photos that show their growth and change.

The Glendora Arboretum has a selection of bushes and trees that make for a natural and rustic backdrop, a step up from the average park setting.

And we always love getting a few pics of the parents by themselves. It brings back fond memories of their wedding photos and the days before children…LOL j/k we notice that parents are so focused on kids that they forget themselves. It’s nice giving them an excuse to laugh.

And we love that the natural wildflowers at the Glendora Arboretum and Botanic Garden, which are seasonal. These purple and yellow flowers made a perfect backdrop to wrap this little kid in.

And of course we squeezed in the whole family in the same beautiful spot.

Them we did some mommy and me and daddy and me photos. We like to squeeze in those fun permutations during our family portrait sessions.

And what better of a way to end the session than with a little kiss.

Sometimes being a little model can be exhausting LOL

And you gotta love that little smile on their son’s face. How cute is that?

The Glendora Arboretum has a beautiful backdrop of green hedges and trees, which glow and light up beautifully with the setting sun.

We pulled mom over to the side for some quick pregnancy or maternity photos. Also, that gives the little son a chance to run around and have some fun between family photos.

There were a good number of yellow and purple flowers in bloom, so we positioned the little guy to be surrounded by flowers while he laughed and giggled away.

We tossed the little guy up and down for some fun family photos.

And how cute is this for a cute Glendora family photograph?

We squeezed in maternity photos, to capture this specific time of the pregnancy.

Glendora Family Photography at the Arboretum

This is a great example of a family portrait photography session in Glendora. We reside in nearby San Dimas, so we have discounted pricing for photo sessions local to us.
