Starting in the Newborn’s Nursery at their Home

And here are some details from the newborn’s nursery, including plush toys, the crib, and the changing table.

Intimate Lifestyle Family Photos

After some scene-setting photos of the nursery, we captured the new and growing family in their warm and loving home.

Just look at that little baby! Makes me miss those precious moments that we had ourselves with our own baby girls.

Including the Family Dog

And we threw in the family dog for their lifestyle family photos, which was super cute and personal.

Changing the Newborn Baby’s Diaper

We got them changing the baby’s diaper, which are some great action shots showing them doing what every parent experiences.

Here is our new mother nursing her baby in their nursery.

And here’s the newborn spending quality time with their dad.

I love seeing there family photos in their personal home.

Just look at that super cute smiling face!

Intimate Lifestyle Family Photos in their Personal Home

Strawberries and Cream Photo Theme

We started the session with a super cute tub filled with strawberries and milk.

Switching to a White Tent for the Cake Smash

We then transitioned to a cake smash photo setup with a cute white tent.

Finishing with Family Photos

We always try to squeeze in a couple quick family photos into the session, though that can be hard with juggling a cake smash and a tub filled with milk! Make sure to talk to Judy about your session and she can help make sure the session can happen in the allocated time.

Cake Smash Photos and More!

This article shows a family photography session for a 1yo (first year) cake smash, along with a super cute strawberries and cream theme with a milk bath in a metal tub.

Starting the Brea Family Photography at the Redwood Grove

We started the session the redwood grove, which is conveniently 10 degrees cooler than the surrounding area due to the towering trees (it was a hot day).

Family Photos of the Parents with Each Child

Then we got family photos of each parent with their children, just to see what would happen.

And then this happened LOL!!

And here are the two brothers playing with each other. Such a cute and adorable moment.

The Fenced Trail in the Middle of the Grove

For some reason we really love using fences, especially wooden fences, for props in our family photos. Sometimes it’s a piece of furniture to sit on, and sometimes it’s an object in the foreground. Sometimes it’s used for guiding eyes to the family in the center of the image.

See the converging lines that bring your attention to the loving family in the center? That’s why we love fences! But seriously it’s a composition thing.

Orange County Family Photography and More

Judy does family photography in Los Angeles County and Orange County (Brea is in Orange County). If you are in the OC and would like a family photographer that is experienced, friendly, and fun, please make sure to book a family portrait session with Judy the next time family photos come up.

Starting with Large Wooden Letters

Birthday cake smash photography

We then started the cake smash portion of the photography session. It was a very cute setup with a white tent and a white naked cake with pink and white roses. We have more examples of family photography with white color themes.

And look at her just go to town on that cake!

San Dimas Family Photos

We also did family photos. We of course did these before the cake smash, since it’s a messy event.

Having a Cake Smash for a 1yo Baby Girl

Having a cake smash can be a hard photo session if done incorrectly, since mixing a 1yo baby and frosting can be messy! But Judy is very experienced at cakesmash photography sessions and can help you organize such a thing. Make sure to check out more of our recent family photos on our Instagram account.

Judy is the proud mother of two daughters, and has done cake smash sessions for both of them. She knows how it is to work with little 1yo baby girls and boys and can help you get those precious moments and memories.

Starting the Graduation Photos at the Old Ranch Country Club

We started the grad portrait session at a beautiful water fountain at the country club.

Family Photos at the Old Ranch Country Club

We then got some family photos in front of that gorgeous water fountain.

And just look at how adorable that little face is!

Grad Photos with the Setting Sun

We used the strong backlight of the setting sun to get a lovely warmth and glow to the graduation photos.

And whenever there is a fence, we just can’t help ourselves but to use it in the grad photos!

Old Ranch Country Club Graduation Photos

Our graduating student decided to have her grad photos at the nearby Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach, which gave us a great backdrop for graduation photography. We have many examples of graduation portraits taken of many different students from many different schools and settings. Make sure to look around our family photography blog to see many more examples of family and graduation photos in so many different locations and settings.

Starting UCLA Family Photography at Royce Hall

We started the family photo session at Royce Hall, in the large space in front of it’s front doors. The tall columns and the long hallway provided a classic and gorgeous backdrop for the photos.

Moving on to the Sculpture Garden

The UCLA Sculpture Garden is a staple of any student’s on campus experience. Getting to take family photos takes those

Metal Sculpture at the Art Department

We remember when the art department had it’s renovations in the late 90s and didn’t have this large metal sculpture. It’s a fun place for UCLA family photos, especially with two little brothers that want to run around and have fun.

We ended the session with family photography at Dickson Court, which is a central hub connecting mid-campus and north campus (Gavin used to practically live in south campus).

And we took one last photo with our masks on to commemorate the pandemic and times this session took place in. Some people don’t want any photos with masks, but some know that it can date the time period in the years to come (and that is it’s own unique memory in itself).

UCLA Family Photos and Much More

Gavin went to UCLA and knows the campus intimately, so it’s been a fun and engaging place for us to do wedding and engagement photography at UCLA. We are familiar with all of the hidden spots and picturesque nooks that are located on campus, especially after spending years there as students.

Make sure to look around our website for many more examples of family photo sessions, such as other sessions with two brothers or two sons.

Starting Bonelli Park Family Photos at a Wooden Fence

We started the session at a wooden fence, which offers a nice foreground and perspective.

Gotta love a random, large log for our family photography session.

And here is another overhead with the fall leaves on the ground.

And we always love having purple flowers in the foreground and background.

Starting with the Three Children

The three children (or grandchildren) started the session. They have one daughter and two sons. I can only imagine how well protected that little girl will be by her two older brothers.

And Via Verde Family Photos with Mom and Dad

We then had mom and dad hop in for some family photos in front of this wooden fence.

Next, the Grandparents!

We started the grandparents for some couple photos of only the two of them, which often leads to really cute moments (that aren’t witnessed often in older couples).

Then we included the whole family to cover all three generations, grandparents and grandchildren together.

Then, since we like getting permutations, some photos of grandma with the uncles.

And mom with all the siblings

After that, we got some more super cute family photos of the two brothers with their adorable little sister.

And then we finished the family photo session with couple of photos of the mom and dad.
