Tahoe Portrait Photographer - Chandani

I love to travel and have fallen in love with so many places around the globe. I was lucky enough to spend 4 beautiful winters with my amazing cousins in St. Anton, Austria (where I learned how to snowboard and got to enjoy views of snowy villages on a daily train ride to the mountain - seriously out of a snow globe!), and I definitely left my heart in Venice the last time I was there (and have told Jesse every other day that we need to go back and get it). I have to say though, I feel lucky to live in one of the most gorgeous places in the world - California! Spending four years in SLO was such a blessing - being near gorgeous beaches, hiking, plush fields, forests, waterfalls, you name it - and every winter, I'm lucky enough to live near another winter wonderland... Tahoe :D

Once I learned to snowboard, I came back home and headed to the slopes every winter with my girl, Chandani. It's odd if we don't take at least one trip together every winter (one year, I believe we did at least 5!). As amazing as St. Anton is (seriously - if you love the snow, you need to go at least once in your life), it still doesn't have this gorgeous lake. There's something magical about it that doesn't get old - the view blows me away every time I see it. Chandani and I took our traditional birthday excursion last week, and I brought along the camera to finally capture some photos of our favorite getaway without ski gear on. It has definitely been the coldest winter in a while, but Chandani rocked it as usual ;) Hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
