We could not have gotten a better day for this Lake Tahoe engagement session.  Cool and comfortable temps and a couple open for an adventure.  Karen and Matt were such fun to meet and spend the day with. There was a minor wardrobe hiccup but nothing some last minute shopping couldn’t solve. We started our session with forresty vibes and then wandered down to the beach and the dock.  Cobalt blue skies and views for days.  So excited for their wedding at Nakoma!

I found this beautiful random aspen grove off the side of the road, so we double parked and popped in for some beautiful fall colors.  When planning your lake tahoe engagement session I always suggest two locations for a beautiful blend of scenery.

Next stop on our adventure was a short but steep hike to an epic overlook of Tahoe.  The time worked out just perfect so that we got to soak in that gorgeous golden light.

Always have to stop to appreciate the incredible views and give myself a pinch.  Tahoe really showed off this evening.

Lake Tahoe planning tip: Having flexibility with timing can make all the difference.  Planning around peak tourist season in Lake Tahoe opens up many more location options, and give you an entire mountaintop to yourself:)

SHALL WE MEET?

HI FRIENDS

A Lake Tahoe wedding photographer who values documenting those quiet micro moments that take you back to how it felt.

I’m a calming presence and a trusted friend — the one who fixes your veil, straightens your tie, or quietly captures the fleeting, unposed moments you didn’t even know were happening. With a background in photography and fashion from SCAD and over a decade behind the lens, I blend editorial elegance with candid documentary storytelling, so your images feel classic yet vibrant, full of life and warmth.

Ever since my days in the highschool darkroom, I’ve been enamored with the power images have to tell a compelling story. 

Beyond the lens, I’m a mom to two feisty girls. Translation: there’s no challenge I cannot handle. While you’re soaking in sunsets and sipping champagne—you can find me crawling through bushes and traipsing through snowpack to get the best angle…and loving every single second of it.
