These two very happy and very proud parents and their healthy and handsome 3 week old baby boy chose to have their family portrait done in the comfort of their own home. I offer in-home portraiture, done either in the environment of your home bringing in only lighting, or as seen in this session, I bring in a studio backdrop in addition to the studio lighting.

When this couple decided to do a family portrait to commemorate their firstborn child, they naturally thought of me as I was their photographer for their wedding a few years ago.

Their wedding was at the University Club of Pasadena* in the heart of Old Town Pasadena. Here are a couple of pictures from their wedding ceremony and reception.

For their first dance, the couple danced to “Dance Me To The End Of Love” performed by Madeleine Peyroux. If you’re familiar with this song, you know it is a bit upbeat. And a song that is this lively, of course, deserves to conclude with a rather big dip…

A little history of The University Club of Pasadena.

In 1921 Howard W. Carter was sitting in his dentist’s chair having a tooth drilled, when he conceived of the idea that Pasadena should have a University Club.

“UNIVERSITY CLUB FOR PASADENA IS NOW IN EXISTENCE” HEADLINED THE STAR NEWS ON APRIL 29, 1922.

The first meetings were held in the south end of the second story in the east wing of the Hotel Green Hotel adjacent to the old Santa Fe railroad station.

Few Clubs have been so fortunate in the speakers who have addressed their meetings. These included many illustrious men, but perhaps the most famous was Professor Albert Einstein who addressed the Club membership in 1931. Another prominent member and speaker at the Club was Dr. Albert A. Michelson, who first measured the speed of light and was America’s first Nobel Laureate in science. Another prominent member was Professor Edwin Hubbell, the man who changed the whole world’s concept of the universe.
