Family: Lacy Park during Golden Hour

I recently photographed the [T] Family at the beautiful Lacy Park in San Marino, about an hour before sundown. It was a foggy day, and I’ll admit I was a little worried the fog might look heavy in the photos, but it ended up working out beautifully, as the sunlight pushed through the haze just enough to create soft, golden rays that gave the whole session a dreamy glow.

Lacy Park is one of my favorite places to photograph. It’s easy for families of all ages to access, and it has so much variety to offer. You’ll find fallen leaves in the fall (perfect for kids to toss in the air!), a rose garden that blooms seasonally, hidden paths, and quiet corners that feel incredibly private — even in a public space. It’s both peaceful and full of character, and that makes it such a lovely backdrop for family photos.

If you’re thinking about your next session, let’s capture your family at Lacy Park!

xoxo,

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.
