At Little Blue World we embrace the beauty of everyday life.
We know how stressful planning a photo session can be—it's like trying to herd cats while balancing a plate of spaghetti on your head. Between coordinating outfits and convincing everyone to smile on cue, it can feel less like a fun family outing and more like preparing for a small-scale invasion. But fear not! We’re here to sprinkle some joy into the chaos, turning what could be an exhausting outing into an adventure.
Little Blue World Photography serves Pasadena, Santa Clarita, and all of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and is available for travel across the country.

Weddings
Whether you’re looking for a wedding photographer in Pasadena or somewhere far off, we’d love to capture the joy and the magic of the most amazing day of your life!
Hi, I’m Valeri.
Being a photographer is a bit like being a professional eavesdropper, lurking in the corners of life, waiting for those authentic moments to unfold. I find myself squinting through the viewfinder, convinced that if I can just capture the perfect shot of a child’s mischievous grin or a couple stealing a kiss, I’ll unlock some universal truth about joy. Of course, half the time, I’m just dodging random strangers who think I’m documenting their every move, but the thrill is in the chase—literally! It’s a delightful dance of anticipation, where the reward is a split second of magic captured forever.

Little Blue World Photography did the most amazing job photographing my daughter's wedding. I should have posted this review a year ago after the wedding, but perhaps it is more impactful one year later, looking at the truly beautiful photos of that day. She is a terrific photographer and being the mother of the bride, I can tell you that amidst all the day-of craziness Valeri was calm, patient, and very easy to work with. She made OUR day and OUR photographic memories treasures to share. If you are looking for a great family, individual, event, or wedding photographer, I highly recommend you hire Little Blue World. Thank you Valeri!
