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. The Glendora Arboretum and Botanic Garden is a beautiful local spot for family and maternity photography. You can find many more examples of family photos in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, and La Verne here on our family portrait blog.

One important aspect in choosing a family photographer is their knowledge of locations. Here are examples of portraits taken in this amazing little local spot, but we also have a knowledge of other local spots in the same region. Make sure to call Judy and arrange a family session that matches your wants and personality.

Carbon Canyon Redwood Trees

We started the session at the Carbon Canyon Regional Park Redwood Grove. It’s a local secret spot that requires a little bit of a hike, but it’s worth it for the amazing backdrops.

Then we brought in the grandparents for some pictures of the whole family. Three generations of an Asian family. That also could explain the red color theme.

And it’s always cute to get a grandparents family photo with their adorable granddaughter.

And a family dog too!

Gotta love the towering redwood trees, all in Southern California.

There is a wooden fence that can make a beautiful frame for our lovely family. One trademark of a good photographer is the ability to compose, using the foreground and background to tell a story about the subject.

How adorable is that little smile?!

These are some of the moments that we love to capture the most. A glowing family with their baby girl. The smiles. The laughs. I can hear the baby giggling that laugh that only infants do.

Carbon Canyon Family Photography at the Regional Park in Brea

This family photography portrait session was taken at the amazing Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Brea, CA. There is a Redwood grove with many adult redwoods along a hiking trail. This is a great example of how Judy captures a family with three generations, grandparents, grandchildren, and the lovely couple that joins them. This is a Chinese family from Orange County. There are lots of trees and trails in the photos above, and how often does one get to do family photos with redwood trees?

Are you searching for a family photographer in Orange County that can capture you and your loved ones? Judy is a family photographer that covers the OC and LA region, capturing families with comfort and familiarity. Make sure to give Judy a call to see if she can help you capture your own family with memorable and amazing images.

Starting in a Long, Picturesque Hallway at Pasadena City Hall

We started the family photography session in a long, large hallway on one of the four edges of Pasadena City Hall.

And of course we have to get a cute family portrait of the three children together!

Individual Child Portraits

We then got individual portrait photos of each of the three children.

The Pasadena City Hall Water Fountain

The HUGE water fountain is in the center of the courtyard and makes for a great backdrop for family photos. It’s definitely a centerpiece and is awesome for family photography at the Pasadena City Hall.

We got a little creative with this family photo, using a technique of “dragging the shutter” to blur out the children.

And here is a cute collage to wrap up the part of the session in the courtyard of Pasadena City Hall.

Family Photos at Pasadena City Hall

This a a family photography portrait session at the Pasadena City Hall in Los Angeles County. It’s an icon of the city and a cultural centerpiece. It’s a great backdrop for family photos in Pasadena. This session includes an Asian family with a husband, wife, and three children (specifically two daughters and one son).

Starting in the Celebration Garden at the Los Angeles Arboretum

The Celebration Garden is a perfect spot to start the family portrait session, giving us a chance to break the family into the flow of the session. It’s especially important to get the kid(s) engaged with the camera.

Oh yeah, the LA Arboretum is known for it’s many peacocks!

Family Photos in the Bamboo Forest at the LA Arboretum

We then walked over to the bamboo forest that they have at the LA arboretum, though they actually have more than one bamboo forest.

We played with some of the bamboo leaves laying on the floor, which their little son loved.

Walking around the Arboretum and Botanic Garden for more Family Photos

We then wandered around to other spots around the LA Arboretum, including the large stable or Coach Barn and the orange orchard.

Family Photography LA Arboretum

This is an Arcadia family photography portrait session at the LA Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Located in the San Gabriel Valley, the Los Angeles Arboretum is a local gem and perfect location for family photos. It does require a photography permit, so make sure you check ahead of time to get one. Make sure to look around the rest of our blog for many more examples of family photography in Arcadia, the San Gabriel Valley, and Los Angeles County.
