FAMILY PHOTO sessions in Reno

Reno and Lake Tahoe Family Photo Sessions

No family is perfect, but at least you can have a perfectly imperfect family photo!

Our goal is to capture your family portraits in a most organic way, where each personality shines through. We want you to enjoy your family photographs for years and generations. We’ll walk around beautiful locations, we'll joke and run while letting your family be as serious or as silly as it naturally is. You deserve to have a family photo session that nobody whines about and make heartfelt memories along the way.

What is the best season for family photos?


Family portrait is a tradition that transcends time. Whether it's white winter days or warm summer evenings, each season offers its unique charm and backdrop for family photos. Living in Reno, Nevada, where we have all seasons that change landscape in their own unique way, choosing the perfect time for your family session becomes an exciting decision since every season offers its own special allure.


WINTER

Winter in Reno brings crisp air but snowy landscapes don't hold for too long. If you want pictures in snow, we might have to go to Tahoe Meadows, where snow stays till spring. Forest covered in white snowy blanket brings a picturesque setting for family photos. While venturing outdoors might be a bit chilly, winter family photos are so festive, almost magical. As an alternative, you can opt for a comfortable studio session with your family, especially if you are concerned with little ones. Holiday-themed photo session not only captures the festive spirit but also provides a cozy, controlled environment away from the cold winds.

Spring

Spring, often overlooked for its brevity, is a delightful time for family photos. As nature awakens from its slumber, vibrant blooms and lush greenery provide a stunning backdrop for family portraits. Aim for around Mother's Day for the perfect time to update your family's pictures and bring a smile to mom's face. To meet the high demand during this season, we've created mini sessions, allowing you to capture beautiful moments with a quick and fun session. You can find out more about spring minis HERE.

Summer

Summer brings longer days and warmer temperatures, making it an ideal season for outdoor adventures. However, the heat can pose challenges, especially during sunset when the light is most enchanting. To beat the heat, consider morning sessions when the day is still cool, and popular spots are less crowded. A serene morning with just your family against the backdrop of Reno's parks or Tahoe's beaches promises unforgettable memories.

Fall

As the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, fall transforms Reno into a breathtaking masterpiece. It's no wonder that autumn is the busiest season for family photographers. With high demand, our schedule fills up quickly, often leaving families on the waitlist. To accommodate everyone, we are inviting you to sign up for a family session minis - short, sweet, and brimming with fun. While minis may not suit every family, they offer a delightful taste of fall's magic. Sign up for our newsletter and specials HERE


Each season presents its unique opportunities and challenges for family photos. Whether you opt for the cozy ambiance of a winter studio session, the refreshing blooms of spring, the adventurous spirit of summer mornings, or the colorful palette of fall, the key is to seize the moment and create lasting memories with your loved ones. So, what's your pick for this year's family photos?
