Visit reno Tahoe

I’ve worked closely with Visit Reno Tahoe on winter, spring and summer campaigns as a photographer & social influencer to highlight the natural beauty and urban gems of Reno, Nevada and North Lake Tahoe.

The images below are linked to live social posts posted to @christianschaffer on Instagram for these campaigns.

It's been a little over a week since my last post...and so much has changed. Libraries and coffee shops are closed, gyms are closed, travel has slowed to a crawl. Even the toilet paper is gone. It's been interesting trying to navigate it all while living on the road. ⠀ A couple weeks ago, I traveled to Nevada to partner with @renotahoe before the coronavirus really started to hit home. I've been sitting on the content for a bit, unsure of whether sharing it made sense given the current state of affairs. But ultimately, I think we can all use a little good news, normalcy, or at the very least - a reminder that even in unpredictable times like these, we are surrounded by beauty. However long this lasts, it feels like a good time to slow down, catch up on edits, and appreciate the little things. ⠀ As for me and the van...I've mentioned before that I sometimes house-sit to break up long stretches of living on the road, and there just happened to be a month-long sit available here in Reno for an adorable cat and also a horse (which I am so excited about!) So yeah, wherever you're hanging out & waiting out these next few weeks, I'm sending you all the good vibes from my home for the next little while: Reno-Tahoe ♡ #RenoTahoe

Nothing but blue skies ♡ ⠀ Even in the middle of summer, on a Saturday...had this little slice of shoreline all to ourselves. So many gems out here @renotahoe #renotahoe

Pastel perfection in @renotahoe, seems to happen often out here ↟ ⠀ ⠀ How are you all doing? I'm currently holed up in isolation, and I haven't changed my pjs in three days 💁🏼‍♀️ Can't wait to be back in places like these.. #renotahoe

Summer is officially here! 🌤 I've spent the past week adventuring around @renotahoe, and I can't think of any place I'd rather be. Crystal clear water, sunshine, forested trails and mountain peaks. My kind of paradise 🌀 #renotahoe
