Hey! I’m Catherine, an outdoor photographer and travel writer based in Lake Tahoe. I grew up in upstate New York then my family moved to Northern California.
Ever since I was a little girl, I spent most of my time outside playing and exploring. We traveled often and went on many camping trips growing up. I’ve continued my love for the outdoors and living in Lake Tahoe offers the opportunity to get outside every day.
On the weekends, I love to head out hiking, camping, or backpacking. Some of my other passions include reading, yoga, running, riding horses, kayaking/SUPing, riding dirtbikes, and cheering on my favorite sports teams. I started competitively riding horses when I was four years old and have been obsessed ever since!
I first became interested in photography when my dad bought me my first DSLR in middle school! And I’ve loved it ever since! As my knowledge increased and technology changed over the years, I’ve added to my collection of photography gear.
Through this blog, I get to take my passions for traveling, photography, and writing and share them with you! I hope to inspire you to travel through beautiful images, insightful stories, and thorough travel guides! Make sure you check out some of my Lake Tahoe guides here. Some of my other popular travel posts are: Fairbanks, Alaska and Santa Cruz, California.
Interested in working together? I create content that inspires outdoor adventure, travel, and an active lifestyle. So I’d love to partner with brands that also reflect that active, outdoor lifestyle. Please email me at catherine@catherinechicotka.com!
