Wanderlust Photography LLC
Wanderlust Photography will soon be opening up a new indoor studio in the Susanville Mall in uptown Susanville.
Owner, Kiersten Ladd, is planning for it to be a space for lifestyle, boudoir, portraits, newborns and cake smash photos.
Kiersten will still be doing her outdoor photography, but for days when the weather is unfavorable there will be a backup option to use the indoor studio.
Kiersten told us, “I’m very excited about this next step with Wanderlust Photography. Photography has been a passion of mine since I was younger and have been actively doing photography since 2013. I cannot wait to officially open the studio, which will have a bohemian lifestyle theme. I will be posting updates on my photography page as the studio comes together.”

Storms Cause Damage, Limit Operations at BLM Litchfield Corrals
The Bureau of Land Management has announced curtailed operations at the Litchfield Wild Horse and Burro Corrals near Susanville, as winter storms have caused damage to the office lobby and created unsafe conditions for moving animals to adoption loading areas.
The entire facility will be closed to the public this week, and corrals will reopen for animal viewing when conditions improve.
“Conditions inside the pens are not posing any danger or discomfort for the horses and burros,” said Emily Ryan, manager of the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office which oversees corral operations.
| |
|
|
“We are feeding on our normal schedule, and the water system is operating normally. The pens are large, up to five acres, and the surface is compacted and rocky in areas, so deep mud is not an issue.”
The office is temporarily closed to the public due to a partial ceiling collapse and will remain closed until repairs are completed.
Those who have selected animals for adoption can complete their applications and adoption agreements via email. They will be able to pick up their animals when conditions improve.
Those who select animals when the corrals reopen for viewing will also have email options for completing their adoption agreements.
More information is available from the Litchfield Corrals at 1.530.254.6575.
