Pasadena is known for being an early suburb of Los Angeles that is also the end of one of the first freeways in the country (the dreaded 110). The Desiderio Neighborhood Park is a relatively new park built under the Colorado Street Bridge (also known affectionately as Suicide Bridge). We have taken plenty of photos in the Arroyo Seco Park/Gorge/Canyon, but it was always a hike to get down to the sometimes lush meadow in the basin of the open space. Well, now here is a great example of Desiderio Neighborhood Park family photography.

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.
