Family

I was honored to photograph the Pierce family recently at Golden Eagle Regional Park in Sparks. Who loves the desert landscape as much as I do?! These guys! This love for the high desert landscape makes my heart swell with pride for our beautiful surroundings here in Northern Nevada. Their Golden Eagle Park portraits were a total blast to create…and I think I am totally going to get our family photos taken here next year. I am ALL about this type of scenery.

The Pierce family picked amazing colors to contrast with the high Sierra desert landscape – plum/cranberry and navy are amazing wardrobe colors when being photographed in front of our sage & rabbit brush-filled backgrounds here in Northern Nevada.

Fall Family Golden Eagle Park Portraits in Sparks

Jennifer, Korey & Brooks were amazing during their session, which was on an overcast day that was a lot colder than it looks in the photos. They definitely did a great job at pretending to be warm for their Golden Eagle Park portraits, haha! And I just love their relationships with one another…some of the silly candid moments I caught during their portrait session are my favorites!

Speaking of my favorites, check them out below!

I had the fabulous honor of photographing the Baumbach family’s Reno family portraits this fall in Verdi (at my favorite little apple orchard, of course).

It was a very cold and overcast day – in fact, little raindrops hit my windshield as I drove into Verdi. Luckily, the rain stayed away and we had a nice dry photoshoot 🙂

And for how chillingly cold it was, the 5 kids did SO well. I mean, they did great for even the most perfect of weather conditions. I couldn’t ask for better smiles, attitudes and fun moments!

Photographing a group of more than 4 subjects can be challenging, but the Baumbach family really made it easy (which is not easy to do)! My first set of poses seemed too perfect to be true…everyone with eyes wide open and big happy smiles.

Reno Family Portraits & Candid Moments

As we roamed around the apple orchard field and went down by the river, I got to snap some more candid and silly moments with the kids, and I just love those photos so much.

When I take photos of my own kids, I find myself falling in love with the silly moments just as much as the “picture perfect” family portraits, so I enjoy including these moments caught on camera for my clients, too.

Thank you so much, Baumbach family, for trusting me to create these family portraits for you! It was a joy to meet you and all of your wonderful children, too!

The Wilcox family asked me to create some lovely holiday family portraits for them this fall at Mayberry Park, and I was so honored to do so! It was a beautiful day at Mayberry Park, although a pretty chilly one!

Holiday Family Portraits at Mayberry Park

I loved their wardrobe ensembles and colors. Perfect for holiday portraits, but also totally appropriate to mix in with home decor and look at year-round.

Little Miss Sadie and Mister Parker kept me on my toes, trying to squeeze some precious smiles out of them, but I succeeded a few times! I don’t blame them for not being super crazy happy about me being in their face on a cold fall day – I totally get it and they were really good sports about the whole thing.

Luckily, my “fake sneeze” trick saved the day for a few of those must-have shots. Thank you, Wilcox family, for allowing me to create these portraits for you just in time for the holidays!

I was honored to create Reno fall family portraits of Ebony, her daughter Keyannah and her son Trea’jon at Mayberry Park this November. The Ternes family also brought their adorable poodles, Rex and Rosie, to the family photo shoot as well, which I just love!

Mayberry Park Reno Fall Family Portraits

Luckily, I think we got the very last of the fall foliage in Reno before all the leaves wilted and were swept away by the wind. It was a simply gorgeous day at Mayberry Park, and I had a great time creating fall fall family portraits for them and learning about them. They are a super sweet family with a lot of love!

Thank you, again, Ternes, family! It’s a pleasure to be your Reno family photographer!

It’s been an honor to photograph the Gerken family from Steven and Samantha’s engagement, to their beautiful wedding at Heavenly Lake Tahoe, and now fall family portraits as their daughter turns 18 months old, and as Keegan continues to be an awesome young man! It was my first time meeting Kassi, and she is SUCH a sweet little firecracker. I had a great time getting to know her personality through my lens. And as always, Keegan was a pure joy to photograph. He is friendly, kind and such a gentleman!

Fall Family Portraits at Rancho San Rafael

Our family portrait session started out in the Rancho San Rafael Arboretum…one of my favorite places for many types of photography sessions. The fall foliage was perfect in every part of the park, and I’m so excited that we did this session there before the leaves fall and fade away, making way for winter. I also love how the Gerken family’s wardrobe colors contrasted with the fall colors! Kassi’s pageant dress and Tinkerbell ensemble were so adorable as well. You can’t go wrong with a little Tinkerbell!

The Gerken family came into the studio last night to view their photos, and I was thrilled when they chose a BEAUTIFUL photo for large canvas above their fireplace. An updated family photo on the wall makes me so happy! These guys are so fun and I can’t wait to see them again soon!

Oh boy, am I excited to share these adorable Apple Hill family portraits with you today! As a Reno Family Photographer, I’ve wanted to photograph families at Apple Hill in Placerville, CA for a long time now, and I’m glad that Justine asked me to photograph her family of five there! You may remember this beautiful family from Justine’s maternity/family session just a little while ago!

Having never been to Apple Hill myself, Justine suggested we take photos at a cute little farm called Pine O’ Mine and it was perfect. There is a great barn, and lots of orchard space to take photos in.

Photographing a Family of Five in Apple Hill

Justine and Blakely’s new baby, Shaw, is only three months old, so his big brother Logan and big sister Quincy had to help hold him for a few photographs, and they did an excellent job. And even though all the kids were tired from the trip, they were still absolutely fabulous to photograph. Best kids I’ve EVER photographed…hands down. Now that’s not to say that other kids haven’t been good – but these two older ones in the group are just very special and sweet to me personally and I really appreciate that wholeheartedly 🙂 I’m sure that Shaw will follow in their footsteps!

The trip to Apple Hill from Reno is long, and any parent will testify that a family outing like this is hard and stressful even without the planning of a photo session in the midst of it all, but man…SO WORTH IT! Thank you again, Hume Family, for trusting me to capture these precious moments of your beautiful, sweet and fun family!

Apple Hill Family Portraits in 2017

Next year, I hope more families ask me to make the trip with them to Apple Hill so we can make some memories together, too! It was so much fun to just introduce myself and my own little family to this magical little place. We will be back for sure!

Pat and Jean are celebrating FIFTY years together. How amazing! For their special celebration, they had a beautiful Anniversary dinner at Harrah’s Lake Tahoe. The next day, they visited me at Logan Shoals Vista Point for portraits of their whole family! These kinds of photos are very special for me to photograph as a Lake Tahoe Family Photographer. It’s amazing to photograph generations of families all at once!

I’ve photographed most of this family before, so I was glad to see them again – and it was also great to meet the other side of the family!

50th Anniversary Portraits

I love the many generations of this family all photographed at once. We did lots of fun combos, and made sure to take portraits of just Pat and Jean on this special day.

And I think Logan Shoals Vista Point was the best place for these portraits, too. It made it easy for Ruth, the Great Grandma, to be in the photos rather than trying to get everyone down to the beach. And it has the most breathtaking views in South Lake Tahoe for sure!

Below are just a few of my favorites from my evening with the Carter and Meyer families!
