Best Photography Spots for a Lake Tahoe Photoshoot

Lake Tahoe, nestled in the Sierra Nevada mountains on the border of California and Nevada, is a photographer's dream destination. This stunning alpine lake offers a rich tapestry of photographic opportunities. The cobalt-blue waters, surrounded by towering pine trees and snow-capped peaks, create a breathtaking backdrop for landscape photography, especially during the dramatic changes of seasons. The crystal-clear lake offers underwater visibility for underwater and wildlife photographers. Lakefront sunsets, with the vibrant colors reflected on the calm waters, are perfect for capturing the serene beauty of twilight. The quaint towns and historic landmarks in the area add a cultural dimension to your shots. Whether you're focusing on landscapes, wildlife, or the local culture, Lake Tahoe is an incredibly diverse and inspiring location for photographers to frame the unique allure of the Sierra Nevada.

We had an incredible experience with Amanda. Her positive vibes and demeanor put us at ease and made the session so much fun!

She took her time to capture our beautiful moments and the end result; the photos are simply AMAZING! HIGHLY recommend!-JView Photographer profile
Stani was phenomenal! The shots came out perfectly in line with the vision we discussed. She was very communicative in the days leading up to the proposal and was very well prepared.

On the day of the proposal, she got to the spot early, helped direct me to the location, and was very discreet in not ruining the surprise. Additionally, she helped guide us during a post-proposal photoshoot with expert tips. We could not have been more happy with how she helped capture our special moment!-DevView Photographer profile
Amanda was so much fun to work with. She was professional, on time and open to whatever we wanted to do. Our family really enjoyed the photo shoot. The final product exceeded our expectations. We love how the photos turned out. I’m happy to recommend Amanda to others that are on the Lake Tahoe area.-Erin Van SchaackView Photographer profile
Amanda was A-MA-ZING! This photoshoot came together so nicely and she was great at walking us through exactly what we wanted.

She made us so comfortable that it didn’t even feel like a photo shoot.

I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.-RustinView Photographer profile
My husband and I got married on a Saturday. I hated how I looked in our sneak peaks after having a bad time with hair and makeup. While we were still traveling, I wanted a chance to try again. I was able to schedule with Amanda that Tuesday or Wednesday and she was there ready Friday morning!

Amanda was super responsive and so accommodating. She made our shoot a memory better for me than my actual "wedding date". She said nothing but positive praise when she shot making us much more comfortable. She provided so much guidance (which I asked for and very much so needed).

Overall I would say that we both loved our time with Amanda, and we both love our memories and photographs from that day.-HPView Photographer profile
Stani did such a good job with our photos and making us feel comfortable. She interacted with the kids and made it fun for them too. She’s professional, patient and she takes her time to get the best shot. She guided us through everything and was so kind. I’d definitely recommend!-ClaudiaView Photographer profile
Thank you Tiffani for a beautiful and fun family shoot. You truly captured the essence of our crazy little family. Ella and Tofu loved you. We will def let you know the next time we are in Tahoe for another shoot! Happy Holidays!-MylanView Photographer profile
Tiffani was a great photographer who really went the extra mile to capture photos of my family during our celebration. We have had so much fun looking back at the photos from that day, and the colors of the fall leaves were breathtaking. It was a great experience.-CaseyView Photographer profile
