JOURNAL — Mark Talavera Reno-Tahoe Wedding & Portrait Hybrid Film Photographer

Earlier this year, Callie reached out to me regarding portraits during a vacation and family reunion in Lake Tahoe for the summer. These photographs were primarily meant to be a special gift for her parents. I was delighted to hear that it would be their first time visiting the area coming all the way from the Midwest! With the fire season in full swing, my main concern was the possibility of an excessive amount of smoke interfering with the photo session. Luckily, the amount of smoke was minimal and far from what us locals would eventually experience later in the month.

I had a great time during this shoot and appreciated everyone's cooperation despite the slight hike to the location! Luckily, the beautiful lighting conditions paired with absolutely perfect weather! The definite champ of the day was baby Shae, who was an amazing sport the whole time!
