in/from

I'm showing a person a picture of my friends in California. I say:

Buddies in Cali. Or

Buddies from Cali.

Thank you!

Both are fine, but it should be 'My buddies from/in California'. If you use 'in', context will make it clear whether you are talking about friends who may come from anywhere and who are in California now, or friends who come from California and may be anywhere now.
