Cap & Gown: Pasadena City Hall

Pasadena City Hall is a fantastic location for any type of photography. Whether you’re looking to book a family, maternity or engagement session, Pasadena City Hall is a great spot! The only down side is that it gets very crowded with other photographers, so it is best to book during the week if possible.

Here is a great example of a cap & gown session at this historic location. This was the first time that [S] had decided to do a photoshoot, so she wanted to make it a memorable one, such as her graduation! She chose this location because of the beautiful architecture and back drops.

Now is a great time for this location because the beautiful plants were in bloom! We got so lucky with the vibrant colors!

She had some supportive friends rooting her on throughout our shoot! I absolutely love catching those candid, fun moments with friends.

If you’re interested in booking a cap and gown session, I’d be happy to come to your school campus or suggest a few beautiful locations in the Pasadena-area.

Many congratulations again!!

WELCOME

I call myself a ‘people’ photographer, specializing in capturing the personalities of people through family, newborn and event photography. I’m originally German-Japanese and was raised embracing both cultures. I was raised in Japan and in many parts of Europe, until I finally settled in Los Angeles to call it my permanent home. My love for photography started at an early age. A fun hobby eventually turned in to a passion when I found joy in taking candid photos of my friends. Naturally, my love for photography turned in to a lifestyle and I was asked to photograph people’s milestones and celebrations. And so, my photography business was born in 2010.
