Fall color family pictures / portraits in Reno, Sparks, and Lake Tahoe Nevada

Now is the time to reserve your fall color photo shoot with LSN Studios! Families, children, couples, individuals and pets! Hiring a professional photographer is the smartest investment you can make for the preservation of your family history. Our photographer Steve is a Master Photographer as designated by the Professional Photographers of America, and he has thoroughly studied how to make your portraits the best they can be. He has advanced skills in lighting and posing, and has the facilities to produce images of unparallelled color and clarity.

Steve fully appreciates the wonder of nature in the autumn months, and has spent countless hours hunting down the best locations for portraits - no matter when your portrait shoot is in the fall - we know where the color is the best.

Some portrait clients like a traditional pose - Steve is an expert in designing images that don't appear "pose-y". Other clients appreciate a more natural, emotional expression in their portraits - images in which the subjects are inter-relating with each other or with nature - again Steve has done it all in our 18 years in business!

Some people are tempted to set up a camera on a tripod, set the self-timer, and call it good. Others will happen upon a less-experienced person to take a family picture. While these options are fine for vacation photography or other situations in which a professional is not available, only a professional should be used for images that will hang on your wall and those that will be kept and cherished by your own family. A nice camera does not make someone a great photographer. To illustrate, a grand piano in your front room does not make you a great pianist. You wouldn't have someone cut your hair just because they have a nice pair of scissors, or work on your car because they have a good set of wrenches. A camera is only a tool, and Steve is the craftsman with the credentials to put it all together for you.

Our clients have remarked to us that having our portraits on the wall is akin to owning pieces of fine art. So many people decorate their homes with art prints of places they've never seen, possibly featuring people they don't know in settings that might not exist at all! How much better would it be to decorate your home with beautiful images of your family in a setting that is local and familiar to you?

Fall color sessions typically sell out each year, so call now to arrange for the best available time! Getting your photography done in fall also means we have ample time to produce your portraits for the holidays!

In-studio photo shoots are certainly available as well for those that like the idea of having complete control over the lighting and weather! Our studio facility is zoned for commercial purposes - so be confident that you will be provided an appealing and professional environment for the creation and selection of your images!
