Maternity Photos with a Field of Yellow Flowers

We started the session with pregnancy photography in a large open field of yellow flowers that were blooming at this time of year in the San Gabriel Valley.

We should mention that you need to be VERY CAREFUL doing maternity photos in any field in southern California, since we have rattlesnakes. Gavin grew up around them in Temecula, so he kept our couple safe and cleared any spots that we were shooting at using a metal light stand. Snakebites happen when snakes are surprised and people are stupid, so we didn’t allow either.

Just how beautiful is this large open field of flowers? The dominant yellow wildflowers with purple flower accents is just amazing.

Alphabet A to Z Maternity Photos

So our couple decided to take props that relate to the baby in some way, but did the ENTIRE ALPHABET FROM A TO Z! That’s a pretty cool idea for a maternity photo session. So for example, A is for Apple:

B is for Bubbles:

C is for Cards:

D is for Diapers:

E is for Earphones:

F is for Flowers:

G is for Grapes and H is for Hat:

I is for Iphone:

J is for Jump:

K is for Koala:

L is for Lollipops:

M is for Marshmellows:

N is for Nursery Rhymes:

O is for Onesie:

P is for Piglet (or Pink) and Q is for Queen:

R is for Rabbit:

S is for Smile and T is for Teeth:

U is for Umbrella:

V is for Kpop gang signs:

W is for Wine:

X is for Hugs:

Y is for Yo-yo:

Z is for the sleep they will hardly get:

Schabarum Park Maternity Photography

This is a Rowland Heights maternity photography session at Schabarum Regional County Park. It’s a place known for it’s cherry blossom festival, but we were there for the large yellow flower fields that were in bloom at that time. Our pregnant couple chose to do an alphabet or A to Z prop theme, with 26 different props, poses, or ideas for the pregnancy photography portrait session. They had foam alphabet mats with the foam pop-out letters for each pose. This session took place in Rowland Heights, which is right next to Walnut, Diamond Bar, Hacienda Heights, Monterey Park, and City of Industry.

We have lots of examples of different types of family and maternity photography portrait sessions. From family photos at the beach to downtown Los Angeles to wide open fields of flowers, we have laid them out for you to see and help you decide if you’l like to book Judy for a portrait session.

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.
