Experiences on the ranch

Photoshoots on the Property

Rolling Moorpark hills, eucalyptus groves, an old Ford tractor, a bridge over the dry creek, breathtaking sunsets and a fluffy Highland coo or two. Bring your own photographer, or let us arrange one of the talented local photographers we work with, and use the whole property as your backdrop.

Redtail Ridge Ranch is a natural backdrop in every season. Rolling Moorpark hills, eucalyptus groves, an old Ford tractor and the footbridge over the dry creek give photographers plenty of variety in a single session.

Then there are the sunsets. As the sun drops behind the hills, the sky glows gold, pink and crimson, creating a stunning backdrop for silhouettes, couples and family portraits.

Add Ferguson and Poppy to the frame for something truly unforgettable. A family member stays with the coos the whole time, so you can focus on getting the shot.

Bring your own photographer, or let us set you up with one. We work with several talented local photographers and are happy to arrange your session with one of them.
