Reno / Lake Tahoe Event Photographer
Lake Tahoe is my permanent home, and Reno is just down the road. While I live in Tahoe year round, about 75 percent of my work takes me across the country photographing corporate events in cities like Austin, Las Vegas, Chicago, and New Orleans. That national experience gives me a skill set and perspective that most local photographers, who primarily focus on weddings, simply don’t bring to the table. When you hire me for a Reno or Tahoe event, you get both the advantage of a local who knows the region inside and out and the expertise of a corporate event photographer trusted by brands nationwide
Corporate Events in Reno / Lake Tahoe
This region offers unmatched variety. From the high-capacity Atlantis Casino Resort or the Grand Sierra Resort to the resort-style properties and lakeside venues of Tahoe like the Everline, I’ve photographed large-scale conventions, destination conferences, nonprofit galas, and multi-day leadership retreats here.
In Reno, my focus is on efficiency in busy spaces, including covering keynote speakers, sponsor activations, and networking in large exhibit halls. In Lake Tahoe, I incorporate the natural surroundings into your imagery, blending professional coverage with the sense of place that makes your event unforgettable.
My Local Advantage
Because I live in Tahoe year round, I understand the weather patterns, lighting conditions, and seasonal considerations that out of town photographers might miss. I also know how to navigate venue access, parking, and timing so your schedule runs smoothly and stress free.
At the same time, about 75 percent of my work is corporate events outside Tahoe. That means I bring a higher level of event knowledge and experience than most local photographers, who primarily focus on weddings. My clients trust me to deliver at conferences, trade shows, and brand activations nationwide, and I bring that same efficiency, speed, and professionalism to every Reno and Tahoe event.
Why Clients Bring Me Back
Working with the same photographer across multiple events and locations eliminates the learning curve. I already know your brand, your must-have shots, and your event’s unique flow. That means less oversight for you and faster, more on-point results for your marketing, press, and sponsorship needs.
Whether it’s a high-energy trade show in Reno or a multi-day leadership retreat on the shores of Lake Tahoe, you’ll get the same speed, professionalism, and brand-focused results you’ve come to expect from me anywhere in the country.
Seasonal Event Tips for Lake Tahoe
One of the advantages of hiring a Lake Tahoe-based event photographer is knowing how the seasons affect everything from lighting to logistics. Tahoe is beautiful year-round, but each season comes with its own considerations:
Winter (December–March) Snow can create magical backdrops for corporate retreats and incentive trips, but it also means building in extra travel time and having indoor contingency plans for weather. Lighting changes quickly in winter, so I plan shot lists and timing carefully to make the most of available daylight.
Spring (April–June) Spring brings longer days and fewer crowds, making it ideal for multi-day conferences or team-building retreats. The weather can be unpredictable, so I prepare for both indoor and outdoor shooting opportunities.
Summer (July–September) Summer is Tahoe’s peak season, with clear skies, warm evenings, and endless outdoor venue options. This is also when traffic and visitor numbers are highest, so timing, travel, and logistics are key and something I manage with precision as a local.
Fall (October–November) Fall offers crisp air, golden aspens, and quieter venues. It’s a favorite for leadership retreats and smaller-scale events, with a balance of great light and fewer scheduling conflicts.
No matter the season, living here year-round means I can anticipate challenges, choose the best spots for your brand’s look, and ensure your event is captured beautifully and efficiently.

Why Corporate Events Are the Perfect Opportunity for Professional Headshots
Professional headshot services at corporate events are more than just a trendy add-on—they are a valuable tool for both employees and companies. They offer attendees the convenience of updating their professional image on the spot, while businesses benefit from consistent, high-quality branding across teams. A headshot station can boost engagement, provide attendees with a tangible takeaway, and showcase your company’s commitment to personal and professional growth. From creating a designated station to promoting the service effectively, incorporating headshots into your next corporate event is a smart investment that leaves a lasting impression.
Mammoth Event Photographers: Capturing the Energy of Bluesapalooza
It’s no small secret that I love photographing music, whether it’s the chaos of SXSW or the soulful vibe of Bluesapalooza in Mammoth Lakes, CA. At events like Bluesapalooza, where music and nature merge, capturing the spirit of the festival is essential for marketing, sponsor visibility, and preserving the iconic moments that define the event. This year, I had the privilege of photographing incredible performances from artists like Trombone Shorty, Ozomatli, and The Record Company, whose unique styles and vibrant energy made for unforgettable images. Each artist brought something special to the festival, from Trombone Shorty’s New Orleans brass to Grace Bowers’ youthful, guitar-driven blues. As a Mammoth event photographer, my mission is to preserve the atmosphere, excitement, and essence of festivals like Bluesapalooza by creating images that accurately reflect the feeling and energy of the event.

South Lake Tahoe Pride Month events
June is my favorite month of the year – and not just because it’s my birthday month – but also because it’s PRIDE month! It’s a month of rainbows, parades, and celebration as communities worldwide come together to honor inclusivity, diversity, and the fabulous rainbow that is the LGBTQ community. I love it! A few years ago, I started participating in activities with Tahoe Pride. For one, to support my friends who are part of the community, and second, to make sure that our LGBTQ community understood that they have allies in our town. Our Tahoe Pride community is small but mighty, full of great people that I’ve come to call friends. They have a weekly mixer on Tuesdays (often with a game night theme) that I attend regularly, but in June they really kick the scheduling up a notch! If you want to help celebrate South Lake Tahoe Pride Events, there is something happening every week of June.
