Family Photography in Claremont

We started the session with the two lovely daughters on a trail in Claremont, with a scenic wooden fence in the background.

We often do individual family portraits of each kid, especially since it’s cool to see these portraits change over the years.

And after that we got the whole family together. Every family is different, so we throw them together and see how it goes, building from there. You can see that this family has fun with each other!

And it’s always nice to get family portraits of just the parents together.

Walking around the California Botanic Garden for more Family Photos

We then walked around the grounds at the California Botanic Garden for more family photos, starting with the sisters holding hands and being … well … sisters!

Claremont Family Photos

This is a Claremont family photography portrait session done at the amazing California Botanic Gardens. It was formally the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Gardens (which is a mouthful), and originally was in Santa Ana/Yorba Linda before it moved over to Claremont to protect the trees and other specimens. It has the largest collection of native Californian vegetation and plants. This session had a family of four with two daughters (we totally relate to that, but our two daughters are only babies).

Make sure to check around our website for many more examples of family and maternity photography. For example, make sure to look at more examples of family photos at the California Botanic Gardens.

Starting with a Family Photo with Three Generations

We did a large family photo with the 3 generations all together, grandparents and children and grandchildren.

We got the two grandparents together for some family portraits. It’s pretty cute watching them, knowing that hopefully one day we all get that same moment of reflection on a life together.

The family coordinated their clothing with red color tones and leopard print for the grandmother and the granddaughters.

Grandparents with Grandchildren

How proud is it to have a family photo with your grandchildren?

And here are all the children with their parents.

Here’s grandma with her two granddaughters, just the girls.

And family photography of grandpa with his two grandsons.

How adorable is this little baby boy and his monkey?

Family Photography at the California Botanic Garden

This is a great example of family photography with three generations, grandparents, children, and grandchildren. Doing family photos of a large family can be difficult, but Judy handles it very well (since we do it for every single wedding we’ve shot). The California Botanic Garden was a perfect location for the family session, and is also a local gem that most people haven’t been to. It’s a great place to just stroll around. I’d recommend checking it out just because.

Please look around our family photography blog for many more examples of our work and our families. We have over fifteen years of experience, bringing that to each and every session with a love for what we do. You can find more examples of family photos with grandparents and grandchildren, for example.

Starting Graduation Photos at the California Botanical Garden

The California Botanical Gardens are a special and hidden gem in Eastern Los Angeles County. It’s located right north of the Claremont Colleges, which is where we went for the second half of the graduation photography portrait session.

Claremont Colleges Grad Photos

After graduation portraits at the California Botanical Garden, we headed over to the Claremont Colleges for more grad photos. I think it’s considered one of the more beautiful college campuses un Southern California. Our recent grad actually graduated from UCSC, but her family is here locally in the Claremont area, which made the family photos much easier.

We then did some fun grad photos with confetti, placed on her cap.

Here is a great graduation photo of confetti being blown off the the top of her grad cap.

And of course it’s always a tradition to celebrate a graduation with a bottle of champagne!

Claremont Colleges Family and Graduation Photography

This is a great example of a graduation portrait photography session done in two locations in Claremont: the California Botanical Garden and the Claremont Colleges. Being from San Dimas, we consider the City of Claremont to be in our neighborhood. They are both local treasures and amazing for both grad photos and family photos. You can see many more examples of our work on our website, including many more examples of grad photos.

Starting at a Trail in the California Botanic Garden

Fences along trails always make a great setting and backdrop for family photos.

When we get the chance, we like to get individual photos of each kid. Some are natural models, some are super shy, but we always get that kid in that moment being themselves.

Mommy/Daughter and Daddy Daughter

And of course it’s always nice getting mommy daughter family photos!

Followed by daddy daughter family photos!

Throwing Leaves Because, Why Not?!

Claremont Family Photography

This is a family photography session at the California Botanic Garden in Claremont. Family photos at this location have a green and natural backdrop, with a variety of ecosystems to choose from. We started on a trail that has a scenic wooden fence. There were also many fall leaves to play with around that area.
