Lake Tahoe family photographer captures candid family photos at a lakefront home with a boat ride at golden hour. Lakefront family home sessions are always some of my favorites.
As a Lake Tahoe family photographer, I had the joy of photographing this sunset session at a private home on the West Shore. It was my second time capturing part of this family, as the first time was for a surprise proposal. Of course she said yes.
This evening was a true celebration of family. The grown kids were back in town. One couple had just gotten married. Another is expecting the first grand baby. There was cheering each other on, laughter echoing across the dock, and that quiet glow you only get at the end of the day on Lake Tahoe.

Family Session in North Lake Tahoe with Boat Ride at Sunset
This session had it all — a boat ride, barefoot moments on the pier, and golden light spilling over the water. Documenting families in places that matter most makes the photos even more powerful. You know a frame or two from the boat could easily make the gallery wall.


Relaxed Family Photography Session in Truckee Tahoe
Relaxed lakefront family sessions by a Lake Tahoe family photographer always feel natural and unposed. With over twenty years photographing families, I know how to guide gently so the process feels smooth and easy. The best moments often happen in between , the laughs, the glances, the way families naturally fall into rhythm together.


Why Photograph at Home on the Lake
Sessions at home feel effortless because you are already grounded in a space you love. The photos reflect your real life, not a styled version of it. Whether it is the family pier, a quiet boat ride, or a casual barefoot walk on the dock, Lake Tahoe always delivers a backdrop that feels timeless.
