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.

Family Photography at Pasadena City Hall

We started with the {S} family photos at the very large water fountain in the central courtyard. It’s the perfect spot to start the session and ease the family and their two sons into the portrait session.

And look at how this little guy poses for the camera. What a pro!

A Corridor of Pasadena City Hall

Pasadena City Hall is defined by the columns and corridors, making amazing perspective and converging lines in our family photography composition.

Here’s some mother son family photos.

And daddy son family photos.

And pics of the two brothers together

More Family Photos in the Courtyard

The courtyard is beautiful and very well-landscaped. There are often pink roses in bloom and Judy loves to take advantage of that!

And here’s more portraits with that massive water fountain in the courtyard.

Pasadena City Hall Family Photos

This is a Pasadena family photography portrait session at the city hall in Pasadena. Family photos at the city hall are characterized by long corridors with merging and converging columns and arches, by a large courtyard with clean landscaping, and a massive, classic water fountain. People who are fans of architecture and history often chose a place like this for family portraits. This family has two sons and chose to do adorable suits for the boys with accents of pink.

Please make sure to look around our website for more examples of our work. For example, we have more examples of family photos done in Pasadena here in a gallery of articles.
