The Ellisons were in town for a combined business/pleasure trip – their first time out here, and not surprising, they loved Tahoe! How could you not : ) They brought with them their 4 sons and seized the opportunity for family photos:

The Morgans came back to Tahoe, escaping the Texas heat for a short time. I love seeing my families again and how the kids have grown!

The Glenns came from Canada to meet up with their 5 kids and soon-to-be 15 grandkids – a lively group for sure! : )

I’ve been so lucky with my families this year! The Robidouxs came to Tahoe for Pauline and Dick’s 50th anniversary; these two were nothing but fun, and so in love! : )

Four adorable kids, really cool grandparents and parents, and a beautiful Tahoe morning – what more do you you need? : )

The Lipe family took me up to Homewood for some family photos of them on their favorite mountain, with our gorgeous lake as the backdrop:

A couple of weeks ago – just before we had that cold cold cold spell – I met up with Danielle, Mike and their Golden Stoli for some family portraits at Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village. Hard to believe we were in sweaters, with not the tiniest bit of snow around! The two are such a sweet couple and Danielle a gorgeous mom-to be, it was a joy shooting them. Stoli was a bit thick-headed, but what to expect from a year-old boy…

(Maternity photos in the next post!)

Donner Lake rewarded us with sunshine and comfortable temperatures on Sunday. Thanks to all who came out for supporting the KidZone in Truckee, and thank to my helpers Jenna, Helen and Jennifer, and of course Carol!


I’m already looking forward to doing this again next year! Mark your calendars!

In order to raise some cash for the KidZone in Truckee, we put together the First Annual Fall Family Photo Shoot, a great opportunity to get a family picture taken for your holiday cards!

Despite the chilly wind it was beautiful out at Glenshire pond. If you missed it, be sure to come to West End Beach at Donner Lake on Sunday! Check my website for more info. (Could be fall photos… or wintery ones! Who knows at this point!)
