Extended family: An exclusive experience at the Huntington Garden, Pasadena

There’s something truly special about extended family sessions, especially when they include grandparents from both sides. This golden hour session at the breathtaking Huntington Garden in Pasadena was one to remember. Capturing the love and connection across generations in such a beautiful setting made it a heartfelt and meaningful shoot.

The Huntington Garden, with its beautiful grounds, was the perfect backdrop for this family. Even though it comes with a hefty permit fee, having the entire garden nearly to ourselves during golden hour made it more than worth it. It’s truly a treat to photograph here.

Photographing this family was such a joy. One of the highlights was capturing the natural bond between the three brothers; their laughter, inside jokes, and easy connection really came through in the photos. We had so much fun together that the time flew by before we even realized it. Sessions like this, full of warmth and genuine moments, are what make this work so rewarding.

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.
