In maternity photography, the phrase "nature and nurture" takes on a deeper meaning.

The union of these two elements - backed by the beauty of a golden Tahoe sunset - equals captivating photos that retain stories of love, connection, family, and anticipation. Why hold a Tahoe maternity session? For no other reason than it leaves you with memories that you and your family will cherish for generations to come. I've got all the reasons you should book your maternity session in Tahoe, along with images from recent sessions here.

Valley of Fire Engagement Session

By LCLindley|May 30th, 2022|California, Engagement, Portrait|

Las Vegas offers many amazing locations for engagement sessions and family portraits, one stellar spot that I love is the Valley of Fire State Park about an hour outside of the city. With 46,000 acres of awe-inspiring red rocks and canyons, the scenery is simply unworldly and I was overjoyed to travel there for Tyler and Alexa's engagement session.

Pearson-Arastradero Preserve Engagement Session

By LCLindley|March 28th, 2022|Engagement, Portrait|

Although the south Bay Area offers many amazing locations for engagement sessions and family portraits, one stellar spot that I love is Pearson-Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto. Depending on the time of year, a Pearson-Arastradero Preserve engagement session can offer you fields as far as the eye can see of beautiful swaying dead grasses or, if you are there in the winter as we were, rolling lush hills of green. The golden sunset light at Palo Alto's open preserve offers an abundance of opportunity for beautiful images and I was in heaven exploring for Lizzy and James' South Bay engagement session.
