My friend Dr. Norm Reddick, amazing sculptor and cosmetic dentist, asked me to do this multi-generational family portrait shoot at his home in Westlake Village, CA when everyone was home visiting for Easter.

I absolutely love this first shot of his wife and their daughters.

Here is the last of our series of four Senior Portrait Sessions! Adam shot Colleen’s sister’s senior portrait a few years ago, so he was excited when he got the opportunity to shoot Colleen’s as well. This was a beautiful shoot! They went to the Westlake Village Inn to start, which has amazing gardens. They were able to get a huge variety of great portraits. And, Colleen is such a natural – she looks like a model. They ended the Senior Portrait Session at Leo Carrillo Beach in Malibu and got some really amazing portraits there too. And, Colleen wasn’t afraid to get her feet wet (literally) even though the water must have been a little chilly.

Also, check out the fun slideshow we put together for Colleen’s parents at the bottom of this post.

This is Amber again. This next Senior Portrait Session is very special to me because it is my sister’s senior portraits. This was extra special because I was able to tag along on the shoot as well. We had so much fun going around different places in Moorpark and Westlake and getting some really beautiful shots. There was even a fire that day and you can see the smoke in the background of some of the portraits, which helped the sky just look amazing. It is hard to believe that my sister is going to be graduating from high school this year. But, I am so excited she was able to get some gorgeous senior portraits to always remember her senior year by.

After the surprise proposal, and engagement portrait session, came Andrea and Tim’s amazing wedding at Wood Ranch Golf Club in Simi Valley. Andrea even worked horses into the wedding! I think if Tim rode up to Andrea on horseback for the surprise proposal, this whole trifecta would have been even more complete!

Adam had the opportunity to shoot in Westlake Village on a perfect California day with two wonderful kids. Everyone had such a great time and when it was time to go the little girl didn’t want to be done. So, we took some extra portraits at the end that would never have happened if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of an awesome 2 year old. What a great shoot!

It might be a little random, but I every once in a while I help other professionals and artists with commercial photography that helps them show their work. My friend Dr. Norm Reddick is a cosmetic dentistry expert by profession, but is also an amazing artist. He sculpts stone into amazing one-of-a-kind works of art like the one below which I photographed a few hours ago at a Lake Sherwood Estates residence:

Interesting fact: The home in the background to the left is being built by Pete Sampras (so I’ve been told). What a gorgeous California evening! There’s nothing better than ending your day outdoors at sunset, is there?
