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.

We then moved into the wooded area for more shade and a forested look.

Here we have the two daughters with their mother.

It’s always fun to add a little humor into the family photo session.

And here is the large family portrait, with two grandparents, two daughters with their husbands, and four grandchildren.

And it’s always great getting a grandparent and grandchildren family photo.

We then walked over to a hiking trail with a long wooden fence running along one side (which makes a great backdrop for portraits!).

And of course we had to get individual photo portraits of all the grandchildren.

There was this amazing pier sitting on the edge of the small lake. Note that the mom is hiding right there in the bushes to make sure her son is safe!

This is a great example of family photos at the Yorba Linda Regional Park in Orange County. It’s also an example of how Judy handles larger families and groups, getting a variety of poses and configurations. In this case, it’s a large family consisting of grandparents, grandchildren, and two families from the two daughters. You can find many more examples of Orange County family photography on our website. You can also find more recent examples of our work on our family photography instagram.

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.

More Family Photos on a Trail in the California Botanic Garden

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 Family Photos at a White Fence

We started under scenic trees and leaves with a curved, white fence disappearing into the background. This is one of the places we like to go to in Chino Hills, since Gavin’s mother used to live right over the gully from Butterfield Park.

Maternity and Family Photography in Chino Hills

We then did some Chino Hills maternity photos or our pregnant mother and father. Judy has a very experienced and friendly hand in doing pregnancy photography, since we have two daughters ourselves. She knows how to help our pregnant mothers feel better, along with look better, during a maternity photography session.

And here’s the whole family together.

More Chino Hills Maternity Photos

We did some more maternity photography with the expecting parents.

Family Photography in Chino Hills

This is a Chino Hills family photography and maternity photography portrait session at Butterfield Park in Butterfield Ranch. Chino Hills is a suburb on the southwestern edge of San Bernardino County. It has many small parks, often with parks that lay up against the rolling hills to the west of Chino Hills. This family photography session consists of three generations (grandparents, children, and grandchildren).

Make sure to look around the rest of our family and maternity photography blog, with many examples of different sessions. We have tagged many of the sessions with keywords to help you see what your own session would be like. For example, if you’d like to find out how Judy would handle family photos of your two children, we have a collection of articles narrowed down for that (including also for two sons family photos or for two daughters family photos). But no matter your family configuration, Judy can capture unique, fun, and amazing family pictures.

Starting with the Grandparents

We started with family photos of just the two grandparents together, getting them like that probably haven’t in many years. It’s always fun to see that they love each other in photos.

Getting the Whole Family Photos

We then proceeded to get the whole, large family photos together, with all three generations.

Here are the grandsons

And here are family photos of the grandparents with their adorable grandchildren.

The we got the sub-family together for family portraits.

And Judy did more individual portraits of the grandchildren (grandsons) by themselves.

More Large Family Photos on a San Dimas Trail

We moved over to a dirt trail to get more family photos surrounded by trees and leaves.

Large Family Photography San Dimas

This is a great example of how Judy can take a larger family with three generations and cover many different portraits. There are many permutations available when capturing large family photos, and it’s also harder to work with the group and keep the attention of children. But Judy is a professional at doing this, with over 10 years of experience with family photography and over 400 weddings under her belt (and with that over 400 family formal sessions after a wedding ceremony).

We chose a small park in San Dimas called Walnut Creek Park and Trail, which is ideal due to it’s many trails, trees, and a scenic wooden fence. It has plenty of space to handle a larger group.

Starting Family Photos with a Picture Frame Prop

We started the session with the first family and their three daughters, using a picture frame as a fun prop for a portrait in a portrait.

Getting Portraits of the the Three Daughters

Then we got individual portraits of the three grandchildren, along with some of them all together.

Aren’t these three sisters so cute together!?

And just look at that backdrop. The trees and clumpy, natural grass with the sun coming in from above was just marvelous.

More Family Photos at Jeffrey Open Space Trail

The we did the other family and their two sons (two grandsons).

And of course we have to get more family photos of the two brothers together being cute and all.

Large Family Photos with Three Generations

After doing a quick mini-session with each of the families, and the many grandkids all being warmed up to the camera by then, we did the whole large family photo. Two grandparents, two children, two in-laws, five grandchildren, three generations.

How cute is this photo of the grandchildren playing duck-duck-goose with balloons?

And here’s the grandchildren sitting on a bench with their proud grandparents.

And here are some more family photos of the three sisters in a creek bed.

And we finished with more large Chinese family photography portraits.

Jeffrey Open Space Family Photos

This is a great example of a large family photography portrait session involving three generations and two families. There were grandparents, children, and grandchildren in many different configurations, showing just how Judy can work with a large group. Judy is a master of this, since we have over 400 weddings under our belts (and thus over 400 large family photography formals). We are also very familiar with large Asian family photos (in this case, large Chinese family photos).

This portrait session took place at Jeffrey Open Space Trail and Park in Irvine, Orange County. Irvine is home to many local parks and recreational spaces that are great for family photography.

4 Generations in One Large Family Photo

We started with a really large family photo with 39 people in total. This is an Asian family, specifically a Chinese family. Good thing Judy can count to three in Mandarin and Cantonese, but maybe not to 39…

And let’s get the whole large family to cheer!

And then began the smaller sub-families and groupings. It reminds us of wedding formals.

Here’s another one with all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren, or the third and fourth generations.

More Family Photos with Leaves

It was fall, so of course we have to get some family photos of the great-grandchildren with fall leaves.

Large Family Photos on a Log in Bonelli Park

We lined everyone up on a massive log for another large family photo.

Large Family Photos | Bonelli Park

This is a large family photography portrait session at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, on the east side of Los Angeles County. The city of San Dimas is our hometown, so we offer discounts for family sessions that are local to us (though call Judy to get a custom quote on a large family photo session with more than 5 people). This is a large Asian family, so this is an example of large Chinese family photography. There are four generations in these family photos, including great-grandparents and great-grandchildren. There are a total of 39 family members!

Please feel free to look around the rest of our blog for many more examples of family photography. We have narrowed down some of these articles into groupings, such as Chinese family photos. Judy is half Chinese and half Vietnamese. She understands mandarin and cantonese, but doesn’t speak it very well (but can answer in english). She is an expert in dealing with large families and organizing the family photos, including all the smaller permutations and configurations.
