Starting with some Trees and a Grass Field

Yellow Flower Field Maternity Photography

One thing to always keep in mind is that a field filled with flowers has wild animals in it, including rattlesnakes. We ALWAYS make sure that every spot we take photos in is clear and safe before our couple steps there. That being said, isn’t this large field of yellow flowers just stunning?! That’s the great thing about being local to San Dimas, is that we know all the hidden spots.

We love how the yellow flowers engulf and frame our pregnant couple.

San Dimas Family Photos and more

We love our hometown of San Dimas, in Los Angeles County and we know a bunch of hidden and secret spots for maternity and family photography. We also do wedding and engagement photography in San Dimas, which that session is a great example of using yellow flower fields in our portraits. So make sure to choose an experienced family photographer that can capture your family and growing family.

Strawberries and Cream Photo Theme

We started the session with a super cute tub filled with strawberries and milk.

Switching to a White Tent for the Cake Smash

We then transitioned to a cake smash photo setup with a cute white tent.

Finishing with Family Photos

We always try to squeeze in a couple quick family photos into the session, though that can be hard with juggling a cake smash and a tub filled with milk! Make sure to talk to Judy about your session and she can help make sure the session can happen in the allocated time.

Starting with Large Wooden Letters

Birthday cake smash photography

We then started the cake smash portion of the photography session. It was a very cute setup with a white tent and a white naked cake with pink and white roses. We have more examples of family photography with white color themes.

And look at her just go to town on that cake!

San Dimas Family Photos

We also did family photos. We of course did these before the cake smash, since it’s a messy event.

Having a Cake Smash for a 1yo Baby Girl

Having a cake smash can be a hard photo session if done incorrectly, since mixing a 1yo baby and frosting can be messy! But Judy is very experienced at cakesmash photography sessions and can help you organize such a thing. Make sure to check out more of our recent family photos on our Instagram account.

Judy is the proud mother of two daughters, and has done cake smash sessions for both of them. She knows how it is to work with little 1yo baby girls and boys and can help you get those precious moments and memories.

Starting on a Large Wooden Log in San Dimas

We started the Mommy and Me family photos on a log in Bonelli Park, where our little guy was able to have fun walking up and down the log.

After a little fun and games, we sat the mother and son down for say “cheese photos.” A good family portrait session is about getting both traditional/posed family photos and candid/fun family photos.

Walking Down the Trail, Just Mommy and Me

We then headed down the trail for a stroll, which also gives us plenty of opportunities for cute hand-holding family photography.

And how cute is this photo of our mother holding her son upside down?

We stopped at a very large tree with another log laying under it to finish up the quick family session (this was shot during a mini-session marathon).

And just look at that smile and laugh!

Mommy and Me Family Photography

This is a great example of focusing on the bond that a mother has with her child. Mommy and Me family photos are something that Judy specializes in, considering her own experience as a loving mother with our two little daughters.

This family photography portrait session was shot at Bonelli Park in San Dimas, in our hometown. We offer discounted rates for photos done in our hometown of San Dimas (family photography included).

Starting Bonelli Park Family Photos at a Wooden Fence

We started the session at a wooden fence, which offers a nice foreground and perspective.

Gotta love a random, large log for our family photography session.

And here is another overhead with the fall leaves on the ground.

And we always love having purple flowers in the foreground and background.

Starting with the Three Children

The three children (or grandchildren) started the session. They have one daughter and two sons. I can only imagine how well protected that little girl will be by her two older brothers.

And Via Verde Family Photos with Mom and Dad

We then had mom and dad hop in for some family photos in front of this wooden fence.

Next, the Grandparents!

We started the grandparents for some couple photos of only the two of them, which often leads to really cute moments (that aren’t witnessed often in older couples).

Then we included the whole family to cover all three generations, grandparents and grandchildren together.

Then, since we like getting permutations, some photos of grandma with the uncles.

And mom with all the siblings

After that, we got some more super cute family photos of the two brothers with their adorable little sister.

And then we finished the family photo session with couple of photos of the mom and dad.

Here are family photos of the mother and toddler daughter together. Aren’t they so cute together!?

And I love the way this background blurs with the greenery and trees and the fence. It almost looks fake it’s so creamy.

And here is their baby girl standing next to the wooden fence.

And here is the loving dad with his baby daughter.

And since a new mom and dad with a baby girl almost never get time together alone, we made sure to get some photos of just the two of the parents together.

Let’s Start with Confetti!

We started with blowing confetti off the top of her cap, which is always a fun graduation photo!

Then we started getting graduation photos around Bonelli Park, using the many trees and brushes as a natural backdrop.

More Nursing Grad Photos in Bonelli Park

This log is a favorite spot of ours, usually for family photos here in San Dimas.

Here she is with her supporting husband, so why not get a few quick couple photos of them together!

Fun Grad Photos with Champagne

What set of graduation photos would be complete without a little champagne? So we shook it up and had a go at it!

And then we got the whole family together.

After that we hopped over to a trail or pathway for more photos of the whole family.

And how cute are these photos of two brothers taking family portraits?

And while we had them there we got some romantic couple photos of just the parents.

And since it’s the fall season, we got the two boys playing with leaves, which always makes for fun and sill family photos.

This is an example of Los Angeles County family photos (San Dimas, Bonelli Park) with a family of four, two of them sons. They chose a red plaid motif with flat caps and overalls. Bonelli Park has a variety of natural and rustic backdrops for family portraits, including a large log, trees, fall leaves, and trails and pathways.

Starting with Brother and Sister Photos

We started with their two children together, who were matching with blue tones. The two of them are so cute and the photos show just that.

Family Photos on a Trail

We hopped onto a trail to get more family photos on the main hiking and biking trail going around the lake at Bonelli Park.

And even more cute family photography of the brother and sister.

Family Photography with Leaves and Trees

After the trail, we wandered over to a large tree with a log and leaves all over (one of the nice things about shooting in the fall are the leaves).

And just look at the size of this huge tree!

And it’s always fun having the whole family toss fall leaves up in the air.

This is a family photography session in San Dimas at Bonelli Park. Family photos here can use the lake (Puddingstone Reservoir, or San Dimas Lake), the many hiking trails, and the abundant greenery and natural backgrounds.
