Here’s a sweet engagement session for Corinne and Ben at Lake Tahoe. Can’t wait for their wedding in June!

Not a wedding, lol!
But I wanted to share a bit of what we do in the off season …. We do other freelance editorial assignments, fine art landscape ( check out Scott’s instagram for that - ) and in this case, we work for Mt. Rose ski resort doing photography for their marketing department.
While Scott was in the Bay Area this past weekend doing photography for a road construction project on I 80 in downtown San Francisco, I had the fun job of photographing the annual pond skim at Mt. Rose.
And, to tie it in to a wedding theme, I chatted with a groom I had at Edgewood 18 years ago!
I kept hearing my name called through out the event, and every time I turned around, I said hello to friends who were watching the show!
One more fun moment came when I was photographing the sophisticated pond skimmer with the top hat who made it 100 feet across the 110 foot length of the pond carrying his tray of glasses and a wine bottle … at the en of the event, his daughter came up to me and she asked if I grew up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and when I said yes, we instantly recognized each other - I used to be her and her sister’s babysitter 30 years ago! By the time their little brother came along, my sister took over the baby sitting duties.
What a fun day!

Jeremy and Julia’s surprise proposal at Northstar Tahoe!
A lot of planning went in to this one … Jeremy and Julia would be on a ski trip with Julia’s family and have never skied at Northstar, and I haven’t skied there for about 20 years!
So we both did some research, and after Jeremy and the family had skied there the day before the proposal to scout the mountain, he decided to opt for a private off trail spot on top of a little knoll … map pins and photos were exchanged, Find My phone settings were put in place, and it was the perfect surprise!
I got to the mountain early to warm up with my camera gear strapped to my front and back, and then I got in to position and waited for them to arrive … I just looked like any other skier taking a little snack break.
After the initial surprise, I did a few laps with them to get chair lifts shots and some candids of them skiing together and with Julia’s family.
We all then went our separate ways for a few hours of slushy spring skiing, and then eventually met up again in the Northstar village for a few more portraits.
