You are at the online home of Gilbert Yu Photography. Here you will find my most recent work and anything new and interesting that I have been up to.
My name is Gilbert Yu and I am a photographer in the Los Angeles area. I love hiking, traveling, and photographing, especially in newfound and interesting locations. I love finding hidden little locations that no one would glance at and find beauty in those locations, either with a photograph of an interesting detail or a portrait of a person in that location. My passion is to create beautiful and interesting images. Whether it is portraits of your child and family, photographs of a beautiful wedding, landscape photography in the Sierras, or unique travel photography, I am obsessed with creating timeless art in every image that I create.
I accept a limited number of portrait commissions so please contact me ASAP if you are interested in scheduling one.
I just love when my families come well dressed and all coordinated. We shot at one of my favorite portrait locations and the weather and lighting were just perfect. We had a lot of fun…and I got a lot of exercise chasing big brother up and down the trail. Little sis’ was a bit shy, but she warmed up just great.
It is so wonderful to photograph my returning clients and seeing how they’ve grown. You may remember this family from a previous beach session and this time we had a fun session at the park. I just love seeing their family bonds and especially how big bro just adores his little bro.

These beautiful nine-day old twin girls join their ‘almost two-year old’ big brother. Their unique personalities were already showing through during the session: Maxwelle was quite the deep sleeper while Maxine was the perfect ‘curled’ baby. I’m especially glad we finally got the shots of them together at the end. Here are a few previews.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the green wall in the dining area and the wonderful quote!
