Me at Lake Tahoe
April, 2010
Mike and I traveled to Lake Tahoe last weekend for Amanda and Stephen’s wedding, and decided to turn the trip into a mini-vacation. We flew out a couple days early, and splurged on a lovely room at a lakeside resort. We drove all the way around the lake, and enjoyed several stops along the way.My favorite part of the Tahoe area was that it offered the best of all seasons. In one day, we saw people skiing, snowboarding, sledding, sailing, scuba diving, and lounging on the beach making sand castles. It must be a wonderful place to live.

I couldn’t believe how clear the water was. Sometimes I could only see the stones and not the water.



Incline Village had the biggest pine cones I’d ever seen. These two weren’t even the largest we found.


Lake Tahoe-Nevada State Park



Lounging on this rock was one of my favorite moments of the day. Serene.






We saw this kayaker further down the road, where he stopped for a picnic.

Sand Harbor Beach

We had lunch at the Riva Grill in South Lake Tahoe, where I drank this fruity concoction that tasted like summer.

About Me
Hi, I’m Charlotte! I’m a photographer in Reston, Virginia. I love hiking, running, and exploring the world with my husband and young son.




Beautiful place. Nice shots. Recently, I saw this place on some other blog as well I think, the photographer visited the place before a shoot I think.
Cool
wow =) so nice place!!!!
and you are so nice and cute =)))
have a good WE)))
Amazing photos Charlotte! This really makes me want to go there for a visit!
Much farther south in CA where I grew up, we had pinecones called “widowmakers” because they were seriously so large and heavy that they could, in theory, kill you if they hit you in the head!

Thank you. Very nice.
wow! love the photos, they are so beautiful. I bet the Lake Tahoe visitor’s bureau would love these!
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous!
I want to jump into that lake (but I know I’d regret that in an instant). I can feel the weather in your photos and I can almost taste the water. Looks like an amazing trip.
It`s so beautiful! Thank you for your pictures!

As a hobbyist photographer, your photos always blow me away. May I ask what the focal length for the Sand Harbor Beach picture is?

I live in Reno and it’s been awhile since I’ve actually been at the lake. These pictures inspire me to go back up there and start shooting again. Thank you

I’m glad you enjoyed them!
I used my Canon 16-35 lens for the Sand Harbor Beach photo, probably at 16mm.
These photos make me want to go there. The place looks awesome.

Beautiful pics! I’m from Reno/Tahoe… these pics make me homesick. Your work is amazing!
Great photos, I’ve been there in winter for skiing and summer on honeymoon and its one of the nicest parts of the US in my opinion, your photos bring back great memories! Love the “lounging on the rock” photo!
Terriffic! Makes me homesick! I can almost feel the breeze and smell the pines.
