Our recently upgraded Pasadena studio is now fully operational. Inside, you'll find a spacious waiting area thoughtfully stocked with coffee, water, and tea. The studio is equipped with professional stands, softboxes, umbrellas, and a variety of backdrops—so your photoshoot experience is seamless.
We’re in the heart of Old Town Pasadena, a short walk from great restaurants and landmarks like Paseo Colorado Mall, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, and the Convention Center.

Inside Our Pasadena Studio
Welcome to our Pasadena studio—designed specifically for clean, timeless portraits with full control over light and background. Whether you’re booking newborn and maternity portraits, professional headshots, couples’ sessions, or cake-smash milestones, the studio offers consistent results in a quiet, climate-controlled space. We keep multiple lighting setups ready to go, so we can move quickly between soft, flattering light for portraits and more dramatic, editorial looks when you want variety.
You’ll find a selection of seamless paper and textured backdrops, studio furniture, and simple props that photograph beautifully. Every session includes time to review images on the spot so you can see what we’re creating as we go. If you have inspiration photos or a specific mood in mind, bring them—we’ll tailor the lighting, posing, and background to match your vision while still keeping everything true to the GasparianFOTO style.
What We Photograph Here
- Professional headshots and personal branding
- Newborn, maternity, and family portraits

- Cake smashes and milestone portraits
- Small product and detail photography by request
Session Tips
- Wardrobe: Solid, neutral tones photograph best. Bring one backup outfit for quick variety.
- Makeup & Hair: A natural, polished look is ideal. Blotting papers help reduce shine under studio lights.
- Newborns: Plan for a warm studio and extra time for feeding and soothing—comfort first, then photos.
- Headshots: Press/steam shirts and bring your jacket on a hanger to avoid creases.
- Props: Bring meaningful items (instruments, awards, baby blankets) for a personal touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is a typical studio session?
Most sessions run 45–90 minutes. Newborn and cake-smash sessions may run a bit longer to allow for breaks and setup changes.
Can we change outfits?
Yes—two outfits work great for variety without slowing the flow. We can mix quick backdrop and lighting changes between looks.
Do you retouch images?
Every delivered image receives natural, tasteful retouching (skin cleanup, flyaways, minor distractions) while keeping a true-to-life look.
Is parking easy?
Yes—there’s convenient parking near the studio. We’ll share exact arrival and access details in your confirmation email.
