For Families and Seniors who want images that feel like them.
Sessions are photographed outdoors, using the mountains, lakes, and open space that make this area special. Locations are chosen for light, season, and vibe so images feel natural, elevated, and true to the moment.
Think alpine backdrops, open space, and natural light instead of studio walls.
Designed around the landscapes that make Tahoe unforgettable.

let's get started
The TahoeGrad Experience starts at $700.
After the session, I carefully edit your images and deliver a curated gallery. Final selections are fine tuned with natural retouching, think flyaways, temporary skin distractions, and small details, while keeping everything looking like you. From there, you can select your favorites and finalize heirloom albums or gallery artwork, with my guidance and the flexibility to add pieces as you wish.
Editing, gallery, and heirlooms
Most seniors show up worried about what to do with their hands—don’t be. I’ll guide you throughout the entire session so nothing feels awkward or forced. You don’t need to be a model; you just need to show up and be yourself. Trust me, it’s actually fun.
Easy, guided session
Whether you live here or you’re visiting our mountains for your milestone portraits, I’ve got you. We aren't doing stiff poses or forced smiles. We’ll scout the best light in Reno, Truckee, and Lake Tahoe, find the hidden spots only a local knows.
It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s legendary. Since 2001, I've been helping seniors from all over make this season look iconic.

Senior year is a massive milestone. Most families invest in the full story—heirloom albums and wall art that live longer than a 24-hour social media story.
