Los Angeles Arboretum Family Photography

We started the family photography portrait session near the front of the LA Arboretum. By the way, we had a permit to do family photos there. It’s totally worth it, and it’s required. Make sure you check with them in advance of your shoot if your photographer is not doing their part to make sure the shoot is official. Note that this helps us keep treasures like the Arboretum accessible and affordable for all of us.

Family Photos in a Bamboo Forest

Then we wandered over to a bamboo forest, which is like getting teleported to a place far away from Los Angeles County. The bamboo shoots up really high, at least 25-30 ft high. It also helps protect our family from the sun with the abundant shade.

And notice how we go from a bamboo forest to a jungle with only a few steps.

Family Photography at the Waterfall

There is a beautiful waterfall at the rear of the LA arboretum, which always helps with family photos. We also used the nearby pond and small bridge for more.

And a Peacock!

The peacocks are a signature of the LA Arboretum.

Family Photos – LA Arboretum and Botanic Garden

This showcases family photos at the LA Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Family photography at the Los Angeles Arboretum is something that we have done for over 10 years now, and we are very knowledgeable on the location and the rules of such a wonderful local treasure (in the San Gabriel Valley). You can find more examples of bamboo in family photos on our website.

Starting in the Celebration Garden at the Los Angeles Arboretum

The Celebration Garden is a perfect spot to start the family portrait session, giving us a chance to break the family into the flow of the session. It’s especially important to get the kid(s) engaged with the camera.

Oh yeah, the LA Arboretum is known for it’s many peacocks!

Family Photos in the Bamboo Forest at the LA Arboretum

We then walked over to the bamboo forest that they have at the LA arboretum, though they actually have more than one bamboo forest.

We played with some of the bamboo leaves laying on the floor, which their little son loved.

Walking around the Arboretum and Botanic Garden for more Family Photos

We then wandered around to other spots around the LA Arboretum, including the large stable or Coach Barn and the orange orchard.

This is an Arcadia family photography portrait session at the LA Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. Located in the San Gabriel Valley, the Los Angeles Arboretum is a local gem and perfect location for family photos. It does require a photography permit, so make sure you check ahead of time to get one. Make sure to look around the rest of our blog for many more examples of family photography in Arcadia, the San Gabriel Valley, and Los Angeles County.

The Bamboo Forest at the LA Arboretum

And here is her little brother joining in on the fun.

And it’s always nice to have a photo of the parents by themselves (which is a state that most parents don’t get that often).

And how cute is the little daughter’s reaction to the parents!?

The LA Arboretum Waterfall

In the back of the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Gardens is a beautiful waterfall surrounded by beautiful greenery. It makes a gorgeous backdrop for family phtoos.
