Tahoe Family Portrait Photographer
Looking for a Tahoe Family Portrait Photographer who can capture both the polished family photo for the holiday card and the joyful, in-between moments that happen when your family is simply being themselves? I’m Lauren Lindley—a fun, energetic, and deeply local Tahoe photographer who knows where to find the best light, the best locations, and how to make even the most camera-shy family member relax.
Whether you’re here on vacation, gathering multiple generations for a reunion, or simply want updated portraits, I’ll create images that feel real, connected, and timeless.
What to Expect from Your Tahoe Family Portrait Session
When you work with me, you get more than just photos—you get a local guide who knows Lake Tahoe’s hidden gems and how to make your portrait session easy and enjoyable. I specialize in a relaxed, candid style while still delivering the classic family images you’ll want for frames and holiday cards.
All sessions include edited, high-resolution digital images for printing, plus web-sized versions for sharing. Your photos are delivered in a private online gallery that makes it simple to download, share, and order professional-quality prints.

Tahoe Ski Photographer | Palisades Tahoe
Do you love skiing? Do you have a winter birthday? If so, throwing a retro ski birthday party like my clients Kirsten and Micah did last month maybe the perfect way to celebrate. Whether you are an avid skier, a beginner, love costume parties, or simply enjoy the nostalgic charm of retro ski culture and a good reason to order a bottle or 9 of champagne and fondue, there are plenty of reasons that not only should you throw a retro ski party, but you should hire a professional Tahoe ski photographer to capture it. More from Kirsten's Retro 50th Ski Birthday Party and why you should consider professional photos of you and your friends or family skiing here!
So you think you want candid photos?
If you or your clients have requested “candid” photos, this one’s for you. When we think of candid photos, we think of the perfectly relaxed, comfortable, effortlessly beautiful people laughing or looking at each other, as if they never knew the camera was there. And it’s cute to think these photos are actually candid, but they’re not (sorry to burst your bubble). When clients request those staple “candids,” it’s more than just showing up and randomly catching the perfect frame–there’s a lot that goes into the perfect “candid”: lighting, posing, and more. It's my job to make you look effortless and at ease and that takes just a little bit of work.
Gifting Prints for the Holidays
You don’t have to be the Leslie Knope of gift giving to nail it this holiday season. Photo prints are arguably the easiest and most affordable gifts to give, especially for the people who have it all. Gifting prints for the holidays should ease your stress and I'm here to make it extra easy on you and tell you how to choose the best photos to gift and some of my favorite places to buy them.
How to pick the best photo prints (and what to do with them)
I believe that EVERYONE should print their photos! Whether you’re looking at a digital gallery I just sent your way or through your phone’s neverending camera roll, these three tips will help you choose the best photos to print and give you options for how to display them.
The After New Year Resolution Tips
Ahhh, it’s that time of year again, when 90% of new year’s resolutionists have quit working on those resolutions. Gyms are empty again, the healthy section of the grocery store is once again fully stocked, and all the extra money that was put into a savings account is spent again. The excitement period has passed, which is why this is the perfect time to actually start on resolutions or goals for yourself. After all, what better than the shortest month of the year to work on meeting goals? Here's some New Year Resolution Tips to help you find a place to start with intentions that will help you create positive changes and space in your life. Dry January? #neveragain
