Fullerton Arboretum Maternity Photography

Since it was fall, the tree leaves were a golden shade of yellow, creating a lovely blanket of leaves on the ground. We definitely had to take advantage of that. We started with a focus on her pregnant belly.

The Bamboo at the Fullerton Arboretum

The bamboo forest at the CSU Fullerton Arboretum is an awesome and exotic backdrop, unusual for southern California. It’s just one of the many small ecosystems at this amazing gem in Orange County. And such a perfect setting for pregnancy photos.

The Historic Heritage House

Here is our growing family in front of the historic Heritage House.

More Fall Leaves

Here’s more maternity photos with fall leaves, but this time a rusty orange-red.

And how beautiful is this maternity photo across the lake with the Heritage House in the background?

Orange County Maternity Photography at CSUF

This an example of Orange County maternity photography that we did at CSU Fullerton, home of the Fullerton Arboretum. The gardens at the Arboretum are the perfect background for family photos and maternity photos. The different series of ecosystems make for multiple settings that we can access quickly and easily, even if you are a pregnant mother to be. Pregnancy photos are a specialty of Judy, who also know personally what it’s like to be pregnant (twice).

Judy knows how to help a mother-to-be feel more comfortable in front of the camera. It’s an odd thing, wanting to share the glow of pregnancy through maternity photos, but being shy of a changing body and an ever-growing pregnant belly. Let Judy guide you through this, with her gentle hand and friendly voice. And from there we can capture your growing family in the best way that we know how.

Starting with Portraits of their Son

We started by getting family portraits of of just their son.

Then we had the whole family get together for photos.

Having Fun with Leaves at the Fullerton Arboretum

The fall leaves were a lovely shade of yellow, so what better way to keep a toddler boy entertained than to play with the leaves!?

Fullerton Arboretum Family Photography with Bamboo

Then we walked over to the bamboo forest there at the Fullerton Arboretum, starting in front of the picturesque little bridge crossing the small stream.

Then we got some maternity photos of just the pregnant couple together.

I just love how this tree and it’s light brown leaves (or needles) came out in the photo.

Family Photography Fullerton Arboretum

This is a Fullerton Arboretum family photography and maternity photography session of the {L} family, who is pregnant with their second child. They have one son already. They chose the Cal State Fullerton Arboretum and Botanic Garden, a local treasure at the local college. It has several ecosystems, including a bamboo forest and tons of trees. We were lucky to get bright yellow leaves for the fall leaves. You can find more examples of family photos at botanic gardens in Southern California on our website. We have tagged each and every article with keywords to help you find a portrait session that hopefully matches what you are looking to do. That way you can see how Judy does family photos with different locations, different settings, and different family configurations.

The Fullerton Arboretum was originally an orange orchard, but had to be replaced as the orange orchard suffered from disease. And that was the start of the Fullerton Arboretum. Since then it’s been a source of community cooperation and a treasure of the area. It runs off of voluntary donations, so anyone can take a stroll around its amazing grounds.
