Local business owner Erin Thiem has spent over a decade capturing the community and feel of Nevada City, California, through her blog, InnSide Nevada City. The site started as a way to rediscover the Sierra Nevada foothills town she grew up in after living overseas, but it has since grown into a passion project that connects community members, highlights local businesses, and encourages visitors and locals alike to rediscover a new part of their favorite town.

Erin can often be found around Nevada City and its surrounding areas, camera slung around her neck, covering everything from Nevada City Victorian Christmas to Halloween to concerts, film festivals, and outdoor recreation. Her tips, insight, and local knowledge have become a go-to source for anyone hoping to enjoy Nevada City and its many year-round events and activities. Her personalized photographs of the people, places, and businesses that make up the heart of Nevada City give viewers a photographic journey of a small town, as well as a look behind the scenes of things to do and places to see.
