The great thing about photography at this park in Pasadena is that there is an iconic and historic bridge in the background of any photo pointing up.

And it’s always fun getting images of the siblings (in this case a brother and sister).

We love the lush green backdrop in this family photo.

And here’s a wide shot of them being under the bridge.

And this is a just a super cute image of the parents kissing while the two children hug in the background.

And it’s always nice to capture the love that started this whole family.

This is a Pasadena family photo session at the Desiderio Neighborhood Park, a relatively new park that sits underneath the Colorado Street Bridge near the 210 freeway. Make sure to check out other examples of our family photography on our blog, such as sessions at the iconic Pasadena City Hall.

Sometimes being a little model can be exhausting LOL

And you gotta love that little smile on their son’s face. How cute is that?

The Glendora Arboretum has a beautiful backdrop of green hedges and trees, which glow and light up beautifully with the setting sun.

We pulled mom over to the side for some quick pregnancy or maternity photos. Also, that gives the little son a chance to run around and have some fun between family photos.

There were a good number of yellow and purple flowers in bloom, so we positioned the little guy to be surrounded by flowers while he laughed and giggled away.

We tossed the little guy up and down for some fun family photos.

And how cute is this for a cute Glendora family photograph?

We squeezed in maternity photos, to capture this specific time of the pregnancy.

Glendora Family Photography at the Arboretum

This is a great example of a family portrait photography session in Glendora. We reside in nearby San Dimas, so we have discounted pricing for photo sessions local to us. The Glendora Arboretum and Botanic Garden is a beautiful local spot for family and maternity photography. You can find many more examples of family photos in the cities of Glendora, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, and La Verne here on our family portrait blog.

One important aspect in choosing a family photographer is their knowledge of locations. Here are examples of portraits taken in this amazing little local spot, but we also have a knowledge of other local spots in the same region. Make sure to call Judy and arrange a family session that matches your wants and personality.

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.

San Dimas Family Photography

We started with individual portraits with the daughter and her HUGE balloon.

How cute are these family photos with balloons and a happy, pregnant mother?

Maternity photos with a toddler daughter

We brought their daughter back into the mix of family and maternity photos. This is a really cute photo of them all kissing.

And how cute are these pregnant mommy and daughter photos?

Family Photos with a Picnic

Then they laid out a picnic setup, including the balloons for decoration and a blanket and wooden crate. They had a Minnie Mouse stuffed toy too, which their daughter loved playing with.

Family Photos with a Balloon

Look at how huge this balloon is!

Walnut Creek Park Family Photos

These are family photos taken at the Walnut Creek Park in San Dimas, a small local gem in our hometown. It’s a beautiful place to showcase a family that is growing, and a beautiful place to showcase a mother that is expecting. The session above shows how we can handle a pregnant mother and a toddler child in the same session, bring the whole family together in the combined family photos. San Dimas is a local location, which means we discount it when shooting in San Dimas, La Verne, Claremont, Covina, or Glendora. This portrait session includes elements with the color yellow and pink, specifically yellow balloons and pink balloons. They were surrounded by trees and greenery in this picturesque location.

Starting with Family Photos at Bonelli Park

We started the family photos in a little hidden spot with greenery and flowers, easing the two older daughters into the family portrait session.

And it’s always nice getting a family photo of just the two parents together!

Walking along a trail in San Dimas

We then had the whole family walk along a popular hiking and biking trail that runs alongside the waters of the lake (the Puddingstone Reservoir). Our family chose blue and yellow for their color palette, which is awesome since we are a Bruin family hehehehe.

We always love getting family photos of daddy with daughters, and they sure outnumber him!

How cute are these three sisters together?

We always love kids swinging in the air, and this little one sure got lots of air! How cute is that priceless expression on her face?

Family Photography San Dimas

This is a great examples of family photography in San Dimas, at Bonelli Park and Puddingstone Reservoir. They have three daughters, and those little sisters are adorable in family photos together. San Dimas is a city on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. Our family chose yellow and blue color tones for their clothing.

We have many articles here on our family photography blog. For example, we have a collection of family photos with three daughters, which may be handy if you are trying to visualize a session with your own family. It’s important that you have a family photographer that can work with different family dynamics, since family photos with one child is definitely different from family photos with three children.

Starting in Maternity Photos by a Fence

Our pregnant couple started their pregnancy portrait session alongside a wooden fence. Our pregnant mother wore a yellow maternity dress.

We took them along a dirt trail surrounded by trees and leaves.

We then took more maternity photos next to a fallen tree or log, which created a beautiful backdrop.

Just look at how lovely those trees frame our pregnant couple, walking along the trail. There is something about a pregnant mother, a glow, a happiness, and a whole mix of crazy emotions thrown in. Judy has a great ability to help you feel comfortable in front of her lens.

Maternity Photography San Dimas

This is a maternity photography portrait session at Walnut Creek Park. We did the pregnancy photos in San Dimas, our hometown of almost a decade. We know many of the local spots for family and maternity photography, along with offering local discounts on maternity photography pricing. Dreams and Darlings is the love child of Judy, a portrait photographer for over a decade. We have watched our wedding couples start their families and we have started that journey ourselves (with two daughters), so we personally relate to each and every family that we capture.

San Dimas is our hometown and we offer a discounted price for sessions done locally. This includes the neighboring cities of Glendora, La Verne, Claremont, Pomona, Covina, and Walnut. San Dimas lays on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County and is a few towns away from the edge of San Bernardino County. We cover the Los Angeles and Orange County region.

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 the Family Photos with the Two Daughters

We started the portrait session with the two little daughters. Aren’t they adorable!? It reminds me of our own two daughters.

The we brought in the parents for pictures of the whole family.

We love the wooden fences at this park in San Dimas. They really add a nice accent to all of the images.

Judy then did individual family portraits of each girl.

Family Photos of Just the Parents

Judy then took the time to just get family portraits of the parents together, which of course is something we do all the time at weddings. It’s nice to see that spark that started a family in the first place.

San Dimas Family Photos

This is the San Dimas family photography portrait session of the {A} family. San Dimas is our hometown, here on the eastern edge of Los Angeles County. We offer discounts for all the family photo sessions done here locally, including Glendora, Covina, La Verne, Claremont, Diamond Bar, and Walnut. This family decided to go with a blue and yellow theme for their clothing. They have two daughters (two children).

You can find many more family photography articles here on our blog. Make sure to look around to see a session that matches your vision. For example, here are more family photos with two children. In fact, two children is the most common combination or family configuration that we’ve seen in our 10 years capturing families. You can also find many more current examples of our work on our family photography instagram.
