Starting in Front of the Walt Disney Concert Hall

The steps in front of the concert hall are always a great way to start the family portrait session. They have two adorable little boys.

And look at these two toddler brothers.

The curving metal panels of the Walt Disney Concert Hall make for a modern and urban backdrop. The silver and light blue tones match well with most any outfit.

The Broad Museum in Downtown Los Angeles

After the concert hall, we walked over to the next block for the Broad Museum (pronounced BROHD) and the awesome organic texturing of it’s exterior walls. They do have restrictions on photography, but not if you are being polite and unobtrusive.

Family Photography with Water Fountains

Then we headed to a water fountain that more so resembles an edgeless pool (same technique as an eternity pool).

And how cute is this next sequence of the two toddler sons playing and laughing with each other?

This is right around the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).

And it’s always nice to get some family photos of just the parents by themselves.

And look at this amazing vertical water fountain

There is this amazing vertical water fountain that makes for phenomenal family photography (it’s like a waterfall), but access has been severely restricted since some photographers started irking the security guards. When we can squeeze them in we do it quickly, and the family photos we get from it are something unique to downtown Los Angeles and the large water fountains.

Downtown Los Angeles Family Photography

This a great example of downtown Los Angeles family photography, showing the unique look and feel of a modern and urban location. We started the family portraits at the Walt Disney Concert Hall (WDCH) on Grand Ave. in downtown. We then headed over to the Broad Museum for more family photos along the exterior of the large building. We finished the session with nearby water fountains near the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), along with a beautiful waterfall water fountain with water droplets falling all around our loving family.

Starting on the Streets of Downtown Los Angeles

We started on the street level on Grand Ave. outside of the Walt Disney Concert Hall (WDCH) in downtown Los Angeles. Their choice of blue tones and colors matches well with the silver, gray, and blue tones of the WDCH area.

We then walked up to the garden level for more family photos. The garden level offers exactly that; a modern garden that’s a mixture of well-groomed green trees with silver, metallic curves of metal and concrete.

Family Photos on the Upper Level of the Concert Hall

We then walked up even higher to the highest level on top of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is nicely more remote and quiet. Judy used this as a chance to get cute family portraits of the two daughters together, along with individual portraits of each daughter by themselves.

WDCH Stairs and View of Grand Ave.

Judy took this family photo from directly overhead, which is a very unique perspective for a family portrait. Modern. Urban.

And here is where we can see Grand Ave. in the background as the curves of the Concert Hall frame our lovely family.

Department of Water and Power (DWP) Family Photos

After the Walt Disney Concert Hall, we walked over to the Department of Water and Power (DWP) building for more family photos with the downtown skyline. What a view!

Family Photos at the Walt Disney Concert Hall

This is a great example of Walt Disney Concert Hall family photos in downtown Los Angeles. Our lovely family wore blue tones for their color motif, which matched nicely with the metallic tones of the concert hall. They have two beautiful daughters, which makes us think of our own two daughters!

Make sure to take a look around our website for more examples of family photography portrait sessions in downtown Los Angeles, Orange County, on one of California’s many beautiful beaches, or in our hometown of San Dimas.

Starting on the Front Steps of the WDCH

We started the session on the front steps on the WDCH for family photos of the three children. Those velvet suits for the two boys are awesome!

And you gotta love it when we can be silly and get a funny family photo.

Judy then got individual family portraits of each child, starting with the daughter.

Walking the Streets of Downtown Los Angeles

We then got family photos of them walking down Grand Ave., which has a great view of downtown Los Angeles (DTLA).

Grand Park Family Photography

As it got darker after the sunset, we went to Grand Park for the great lights that it has during the blue hour.

And then we took more modern photos on a staircase nearby, with awesome lighting coming from the bars.

Christmas Family Photos with a HUGE Christmas Tree

Since it was December, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion had their insanely huge (and real) Christmas tree up and fully lit. We got family photos with the Christmas tree to really represent the holiday season.

And we LOVE this Christmas family photo of the three kids together.

Family Photos at the DWP in Downtown Los Angeles

Last, we ended the family portrait session at the DWP (department of water and power) building, which has a crazy awesome view of the DTLA skyline at night.

Los Angeles Family Photography

This is an almost perfect Los Angeles family photography portrait session in downtown LA. The chic and stylish clothing, the many well-lit and urban locations, and a huge Christmas tree to boot. DTLA is host to many great spots for family photography, such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall (WDCH), the DWP building for a view of the skyline, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion (for the Xmas tree), and Grand Park for the very large water fountain.
