Here are family photos of the mother and toddler daughter together. Aren’t they so cute together!?

And I love the way this background blurs with the greenery and trees and the fence. It almost looks fake it’s so creamy.

And here is their baby girl standing next to the wooden fence.

And here is the loving dad with his baby daughter.

And since a new mom and dad with a baby girl almost never get time together alone, we made sure to get some photos of just the two of the parents together.

This is a San Dimas family photography session at the Walnut Creek Park. This park is bordered by Charter Oak (an un-incorporated area), Via Verde (a residential area on the south end of San Dimas), Covina to the west, and Glendora to the north. Dreams and Darlings does family photography for the local cities to San Dimas at a discount, offering reasonable and affordable family photography pricing and packages.

Make sure to check out our Instagram feed for more current examples of family photos near San Dimas.

San Dimas Family Photography

We started with individual portraits with the daughter and her HUGE balloon.

How cute are these family photos with balloons and a happy, pregnant mother?

Maternity photos with a toddler daughter

We brought their daughter back into the mix of family and maternity photos. This is a really cute photo of them all kissing.

And how cute are these pregnant mommy and daughter photos?

Family Photos with a Picnic

Then they laid out a picnic setup, including the balloons for decoration and a blanket and wooden crate. They had a Minnie Mouse stuffed toy too, which their daughter loved playing with.

Family Photos with a Balloon

Look at how huge this balloon is!

Walnut Creek Park Family Photos

These are family photos taken at the Walnut Creek Park in San Dimas, a small local gem in our hometown. It’s a beautiful place to showcase a family that is growing, and a beautiful place to showcase a mother that is expecting. The session above shows how we can handle a pregnant mother and a toddler child in the same session, bring the whole family together in the combined family photos. San Dimas is a local location, which means we discount it when shooting in San Dimas, La Verne, Claremont, Covina, or Glendora. This portrait session includes elements with the color yellow and pink, specifically yellow balloons and pink balloons. They were surrounded by trees and greenery in this picturesque location.

San Dimas Family Photography

We started their San Dimas family photography portrait session with individual portraits of the older daughter. Isn’t she just adorable!?

Then we had the mom step in for some mommy-daughter family photos.

Family Photos with the Two Daughters

We then had both of the little girls take family photos together, and how cute are these photos of them together?

You can find more examples of family photos we’ve done with two daughters in them.

And the Whole Family Together

Now we got everyone together for a family photography portrait. We love the wooden fence in the background with the trees.

More San Dimas Family Photos on a Trail

We then proceeded to walk along one of the dirt trails to get more family photos.

And of course we have to get some daddy-daughter family photos.

Family Photography in San Dimas

This is a great example of San Dimas family photos at Walnut Creek Park and Trail. We have a loving family of four with two daughters, one a toddler and one an infant baby girl. We actually have two daughters ourselves, so we relate to the family dynamic! Our family wanted a natural and green backdrop that was outdoorsy with nature. San Dimas has many hidden gems that we know of, and we thought this one would be perfect.

Make sure to look around the rest of our website for more examples of our work. Judy has a magical touch with her families, but take a look at the images themselves to get the best idea.

Starting Family Photos at their Home

We started in their home, which was an old home (like over 100 years old). It has those characteristic wooden frames, wood flooring, and even an original oven that is as old as my grandparents!

She had red balloons as a prop for the birthday photos, along with a chalkboard.

We then started to make our way outside, stopping at the front porch for more family photos.

Walking the Streets of Redondo Beach

We walked done to the beach (talk about location!) and got some more family photography along the street to Redondo Beach.

Family Photography at the Redondo Beach Pier

The Redondo Beach Pier actually holds a special place in our hearts, since we frequent it for good seafood! We started on the sand right in front of the pier.

And then got some family photos under the pier for AMAZING shots with the sun gleaming off the water and waves. Just look at that glow and warmth!

Redondo Beach Sunset Family Photos

We wrapped up the Redondo Beach family portraits with the setting sun. This is why we always bring a remote strobe light to our sessions. It’s essential for capturing the sunset.

Once the sun had set, we took family photos on a lifeguard tower, which is very southern Californian.

Redondo Beach Family Photography

This is a great example of a family portrait session progressing from their home residence to another nearby location, in this case the Redondo Beach Pier. This is in the South Bay region of Los Angeles County, which is known for numerous beaches facing the sunset over the ocean. Our family consists of the parents and one daughter (only child). We took them underneath the Redondo Beach Pier for amazing family photos with the sun bouncing off the water, reflecting bright yellow tones among the wooden pier structure. We finished off the session with the sunset and also with the lifeguard towers that line (and define) the beachfront.

Please take a look around for more examples of our work. We have taken a lot of time to tag all of the articles, letting you narrow it down. So if you wanted to see only family photos with an only child, we have a page for that! Judy has over a decade of experience capturing families of all types, configurations, and in many different locations.

Starting Family Photos with their Baby Daughter

We started the session with individual family portraits of their baby daughter.

How adorable and cute is this little girl?!

Then we brought in the pregnant mother for photos with her daughter and more.

And then we got the dad in there too for the whole family photo.

San Dimas Maternity Photos

Then we did some maternity photos of just the couple together, some intimate pregnancy photography.

And More San Dimas Family Photography

We did more family photos alongside a long wooden fence.

San Dimas Family Photography

This is a combination family photography and maternity photography portrait session at the Walnut Creek Park and Trail in San Dimas, Los Angeles County. They have a young toddler daughter and are pregnant with their second child, which is always interesting for family photos (kids love to kiss the new baby that’s coming). The Walnut Creek Park is a local spot that we like to shoot at for both pregnancy photos and family photos. San Dimas is our hometown, so we actually offer discounts to portrait sessions done in San Dimas or the neighboring cities (La Verne, Glendora, Covina, and Walnut).

Please look around the other parts of our website to see more example of our family and maternity photography work. For example, here is a page dedicated to just pregnancy and maternity photos in San Dimas. These are done here locally, which means we have discounted prices for those maternity photos.

Starting Disneyland Family Photos in Fantasyland

We started the family photos in Fantasyland, which is always fun for the children.

Just look at those deep blue eyes!

And it’s always fun going on King Arthur’s Carrousel.

More Family Photography at Mickey’s Toontown

We then went up to Mickey’s Toontown for some more family photos with the cartoony props and backdrop.

On to California Adventures for the Sunset

With the sun coming down, we quickly made our way south to California Adventures to make it in time for the sunset.

Here are California Adventures family photos with the sunset coming down across the ferris wheel.

And one the main reasons we use remote lighting is to get amazing photos of a sunset, especially when the clouds create such a unique texture in the sky.

Disneyland Family Photos

This is a family photography portrait session at Disneyland and California Adventures. Our Canadian family flew in from Canada to enjoy this southern Californian landmark and get their first family photos with their baby daughter (first and only child). We captured them in Fantasyland, Toontown, and in front of the ferris wheel in California Adventures. We absolutely love Disneyland and shooting there. We know how to deal with the large crowds and get amazing and memorable family portraits. We know how to capture a little bit of that magic that Disneyland creates.

Starting with Family Photos of the Two Daughters

We started the family photography portrait session with these two little cute daughters!

Seeing these two sisters be cute together makes us think of our own two daughters.

We then started walking down a pathway or trail in Bonelli Park.

We love how the sun was coming down from above to add this beautiful hair light. Family photographers look for this type of light all the time.

Family Photos Under a Tree in Bonelli Park

We then did more family photos under a large tree with a fallen log.

And a Wardrobe Change

We then change all of the clothes from the red wardrobe to other outfits. We recommend that you have enough time to do this and do it quickly, since it takes away from the time that we are shooting.

Bonelli Park Family Photos

This is a Bonelli Park family photography portrait session in San Dimas. Bonelli Park is a local park and recreation area that resides around the Puddingstone Reservoir (or San Dimas Lake). It contains many hiking trails and paths for biking, along with piers and docks. The waterfront has many duck and geese. There are many trees and shade that make it awesome for family photos at Bonelli Park. This session was for a family of four, with two daughters (two children). These are Chinese family photos (Asian family photography), of which Judy is adept at handling (Judy is Chinese-Vietnamese).

Starting the Family Photos with the Two Daughters

We started the portrait session with the two little daughters. Aren’t they adorable!? It reminds me of our own two daughters.

The we brought in the parents for pictures of the whole family.

We love the wooden fences at this park in San Dimas. They really add a nice accent to all of the images.

Judy then did individual family portraits of each girl.

Family Photos of Just the Parents

Judy then took the time to just get family portraits of the parents together, which of course is something we do all the time at weddings. It’s nice to see that spark that started a family in the first place.

San Dimas Family Photos

This is the San Dimas family photography portrait session of the {A} family. San Dimas is our hometown, here on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. We offer discounts for all the family photo sessions done here locally, including Glendora, Covina, La Verne, Claremont, Diamond Bar, and Walnut. This family decided to go with a blue and yellow theme for their clothing. They have two daughters (two children).

You can find many more family photography articles here on our blog. Make sure to look around to see a session that matches your vision. For example, here are more family photos with two children. In fact, two children is the most common combination or family configuration that we’ve seen in our 10 years capturing families. You can also find many more current examples of our work on our family photography instagram.
