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 had an absolutely wonderful time photographing this family. Little ‘A’ was so adorable and the family was such a good sport for all of the ideas I had. The light was just splendid and held up for an extra-long session that seemed to go by all too quickly. I hope you like your preview!
If you follow this blog regularly, you probably recall these sisters from last year. Well, little E has grown quite a bit since the last session and big K is as adorable as ever. I’m looking forward to the next time!
Such lovely smiles! Such natural expressions, too. I love the first, where she’s playing with her toes 
You got some beautiful expressions. They are such little dolls! Awesome work.

Beautiful captures, and the baby is just gorgeous too! Love the family portrait – they have to hang it big in the house, such a priceless moment.
This family portrait session was a really fun and special one. Not only is my son good friends with one of the boys, but this family has lived on the Coast Guard property of the Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes for the past few years by virtue of dad being an officer in the Coast Guard. But alas, dad received a new assignment in Michigan (which will be closer to family) and they wanted some portraits to remember the time they spent at the lighthouse. We’ll miss seeing you around and wish you the best!
They are such a cute family! I think my favorite is the last one with all of their happy smiles and blonde hair:) But the location is awesome in all of these!
I love the simplicity and timelessness of your work. It resonates with me and I am sure for the lucky subjects of the images. Great work!
What a fun family. I just love the last images – they look so happy!
These are great. Beautiful family!
Very cool location. I love your angles & the variety. Great job.

I love them all, but that last one is just awesome! As a mama, I would have that huge on my wall!
The family up in the lighthouse is such a creative shot!!!! That is a fun memory they will always treasure! My favorite is the last one with all three boys on the ground–a fun capture!

WOW…I just love these. So much warmth and creativeness.
Gibert, thanks for the wonderful shots of our family!! You were awesome to work with and brought out our best even though we had other things on our minds. We will treasure these.
After missing photographing my kids among the wildflowers last year, I dragged them out for a quick session out among the flowers this year. We actually had a great time and I also got some images to put on my walls as a bonus. I’m already looking forward to next year’s blooms!
What cute expressions you caputred! Love the light and clarity on these!
