Right before COVID-19 started to grow in California, I had a chance to meet up with my friend Tiffany for a quick shoot. Desiderio Neighborhood Park is a hidden park right below the famous Pasadena bridge near the Rose Bowl. Locals might know of this new park that opened just last year, but to those who do not, this park is adorable! It runs right long the Arroyo Blvd which locals like to walk, hike or bike around the quiet neighborhood. Be warned, though that the parking spots are very limited.

The Pasadena Bridge park was lush with California native poppies early March, which became the perfect background. Although we had arrived midday right under the bright, California sun I think we made the best out of it! The park was so absolutely perfect for this quick photoshoot. Honestly, I was so excited about the flowers blooming we went straight to Arlington Garden after to check their flowers out, too.

I truly cannot wait for this stay at home order goes away! I miss photographing my friends and all the wonderful couples I get to work with!
