This beautiful Calabasas family has been commissioning portraits from us for several years now. With our guidance we were able to work together to produce exceptional photos. The children were very delightful and the parents loved the outcome of every shot, making it a tough decision to determine which ones to display in their home.
A blessing is an understatement when we begin to speak about this shoot. For the first time ever, we were granted the opportunity to photograph not only one set of beautiful fraternal twin sisters but, their older siblings who just so happen to be a fraternal set of twins themselves! How awesome is that? These portraits were taken in their beautiful home where we were able to fully direct the shoot while the parents relaxed . The Watkins were fully cooperative and even tried their hands at being photographers-in-training taking a few shots themselves of their siblings.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! At least that’s the scene right now at LA Live. As much as we love Los Angeles, a little snow, ice skating, and outdoor alpine villages are what we need to get in the real Christmas spirit.

Bones 200th Episode Celebration at Herringbone restaurant at the Mondrian Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, California on Monday
Forensic anthropologists, archaeologists, and FBI special agents were all in the house Monday at the BONES 200th Episode pre-party. Hosted at the Herringbone restaurant at the Mondrian Los Angeles in Beverly Hills, we were taken aback by the beautiful decor and awesome lighting. Russell Harris Event Group brought it all together the show’s 200th episode airing this Thursday, December 11, 2014.
The Koshkorian’s made it quite easy for us to scout locations for this Fall shoot because their home in Calabasas was filled with an assortment of colors. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time in the peak of the new season; who doesn’t like to play around in the leaves every once in a while?
When Olga saw her friends portraits at her home, she called and said, “I have a look that I would love you guys to create for my family. Do you know of a location that has a slightly romantic feel with interesting hardscape and gardens?”
We had a private location that fit her vision perfectly. We consulted with her at her home to finalize details and wardrobe, and secured a fabulous make-up artist to complete their look. Surprisingly, everything needed to be coordinated around their beautiful German Shepard Xena, the warrior princess.
Everybody had a blast, and the grandparents were thrilled to have a multi-generational portrait. The portraits are now hanging in their home as rich sepia tone’s etched into metal that has a dramatic impact on the entry foyer.
I really love silhouettes, they tell a story…. This image was created at the boys were walking up the hill and I saw them against the evening sky. Without a doubt late afternoon sun is the golden-hour. This was among the first family portraits that this family has ever taken. I am really grateful to have had the opportunity to create this image with them.
