Lake Tahoe Family Photographer | Simone Jaramillo Photography

Family Photographer

reno - lake tahoe + beyond

Family sessions have always been close to my heart. Growing up in a large family with countless cousins, I remember the delightful chaos of kids running around and parents trying to keep everything under control. Now, as an adult with my own family of four, I understand how quickly these precious moments pass us by. While my kids often pose awkwardly for me, they seem to be more at ease and cooperative when someone else is behind the camera. If this resonates with you, I’d love the opportunity to capture your family’s unique moments through my lens.

As a Nevada based family photographer, I typically hold sessions in the spring, summer, and fall across various locations, including Reno, Sparks, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, and San Luis Obispo. For travel outside these areas, please fill out the contact form below for special requests.

Sessions start at $450 for hourly sessions. Seasonal mini sessions are announced on this blog post here.

Simone has been our family photographer for the last couple years and she is excellent! She’s very creative, patient, and her editing is perfection! I recommend her for anyone looking to have professional photos done. And her pricing is very competitive, she is the real deal!

Simone was fantastic throughout the whole
Process of our family pictures! She was fast and quick with setting us up for our appointment. She listened to my ideas and helped me find the perfect location for our Christmas cards! For the actual day of the pictures she was so professional and made us feel super comfortable. We brought our pets (dog and cat to an outdoor setting) and she was so patient and sweet with them. The session flew by with ease and we had so much fun! She had them edited and ready so quickly we were shocked. I have gotten so many compliments on the outcome of the photos. Then she even helped me pick and printed out our Christmas cards! She went above and beyond! I will continue to go to her for any family professional pictures. Would 100% recommend! Thank you so much Simone ❤️

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Simone! She has photographed my family on our beach vacations and the photos are so beautiful! She’s great at making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed so our photos look natural and not staged. This year she even did an extra little shoot with us at the ice cream shop near the beach. She spends quality time with her clients, and is great working with young children. Simone goes above and beyond and is a pleasure to work with!

Simone took photos of my girls and they turned out beautifully. My teen daughter was uncomfortable taking photos but Simone was able to help her to open up and relax. All the pictures look natural and the true essence of each child was captured in the photos. I would highly recommend her!
