Caltech (short for California Institute of Technology) is honestly one of the more underrated spots in Pasadena, CA for photo sessions. I’ve been here a couple times for engagement and wedding shoots, and it never fails to deliver. The Caltech campus is filled with beautiful architecture as well as lush greenery everywhere! When Sara and David reached out to me for their annual Kylie (their adorable malti-poo) birthday photoshoot I immediately knew Caltech would be a great spot. We did their shoot last year at San Gabriel Mission, which also provided gorgeous backdrop – but the cars driving by and noise distracted Kylie a bit. I just knew the quiet, open campus of Caltech would be the perfect spot for this year.

As always Caltech was a bit busy with other engagement sessions as well as weddings, but we totally made it work! Or well, you could be the judge of the photoshoot below. Enjoy the gallery!
