Tahoe Engagement & Couples Photographer
If you’re planning an engagement session, celebrating an anniversary, or simply want gorgeous portraits with your partner to commemorate a trip to Tahoe, I’m here to make the experience fun, relaxed, and unforgettable. As a Tahoe Engagement Photographer who also works with couples at every stage, I know how to capture images that feel authentic, connected, and completely “you.”
Whether you’re newly engaged, married for decades, or somewhere in between, I’ll help you create photographs that reflect your relationship and the memories you’re making here in Lake Tahoe.
What to Expect from Your Couples Session in Tahoe
Your session will be tailored to your personalities and style. We might explore a scenic trail, watch the sunset from a mountain overlook, or even start the evening with happy hour at your favorite Tahoe spot to ease into the session.
I combine natural, candid moments with the timeless portraits you’ll love to frame, print, and share. All sessions include edited, high-resolution images for printing, plus web-sized files for easy sharing online. You’ll receive your images in a private online gallery that makes it simple to download and share with friends and family.

Valley of Fire Engagement Session
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
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.
