Back by popular demand, the family studio minis will be held at Studio Ivy in west Reno. These will be for families, maternity, and couples who don't want to play around with weather and desire a clean-cut, minimal look for their portraits this year.

Studio Minis

This gorgeous lake is located 20 minutes south of Reno in Washoe Valley. It offers mountain backdrops without the trip up to Tahoe as well as sandy dunes if you'd love that coastal feel. Keep in mind, wind is ALWAYS expected at this location. Unless it gets over 20mph the day of your shoot, we are a go. I LOVE shoots with wind... and I know how to make it work for us. If you love nature and are okay with a breeze, this location is for you.

I prefer to take my lake clients to Sand Harbor, a beautiful state park on the northeast side of Lake Tahoe. With easy access to paved parking, an easy walk down to the beach and multiple walking paths, boulders and backdrops to choose from, this is my favorite lake location.

This park has been a favorite for many of us, as it boasts some the most radiant fall colors around as well as a more neutral vibe if you like the walking paths and woodsy vibe. If you’re looking for a location close by with accessible walking paths… this is it.

Stunning meadow with the Sierras in the background, right at the base of Squaw Valley Ski Resort. We might have to fight the bugs but this sunset location cannot be beat with the creek, mountains, and sometimes even snow in the background.

olympic meadows

One of my favorite sunset session locations. River, rolling hills, mountain background and sagebrush all with beautiful meadow access.

Holiday studio sessions will happen in Reno at Studio Ivy. Multiple holiday sets will be available for families large and small as well as plenty of white wall space for those clean, bright studio photos we all love.

Multiple ponds, walking paths and willow trees make this area in West Reno a favorite for many of us photographers. with hanging leaves of stunning colors, sagebrush, bridges on the ponds and great sunset lighting, this a great photo location due to the many versatile foliage backdrops.

This meadow is so dreamy. No matter which way I turn, I can never pick a favorite location here. Rustic fall colors will greet us here, surrounded by the meadow grasses and mountains for whatever session we want to dream up for you and your people.

Crystal Peak Park

The location that sells out year after year… you just can’t beat the Aspens and their glow. I found a Reno location for these and I love making client dreams come true with the vibrant colors, no matter the time of year!
