getting outside | pasadena family photography

On average, I spend at least three or four days a week in front of my computer editing photos.  There are days when I don’t leave the house!  So, I always look forward to the days when I get to head outside to meet up with a family for photo session fun.  I feel so lucky to live and work in the Pasadena area.  There are just so many beautiful locations here and around LA.

This recent family session was shot at one my favorite spots in Pasadena at the base of the San Gabriel mountains.  The light is always magical and the foliage always the perfect backdrop no matter the time of year.   When it all comes together like that, the inspiration flows and lovely photos like these are the result.  It makes all those hours in front of the computer totally worth it!

Not sure why exactly but this last one’s my favorite.
