“We absolutely LOVE our photos that Alisha took of us in the Smokies! We pulled our family of 5 together in an RV and she somehow made us look well rested, happy, and normal!! She’s so friendly, her pricing is reasonable and well worth the value of her photos, and we would totally use her again! I even asked if she can travel with us everywhere because her skills are so incredible :)”
What I Photograph
I'm a Great Smoky Mountains National Park-approved photographer, which means I can legally shoot in spots a lot of photographers can't. Most of my work falls into four buckets:
Gatlinburg family photography — vacation portraits, milestones, and "while we're all in one place" shoots.
Family reunions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge — large groups, multiple generations, and everyone who flew in from out of state.
Cabin photography sessions — right at your rental, no driving required.
Cades Cove photo shoots — mountain backdrops, open fields, and the kind of scenery you came here for.
Session Types
Family Sessions For immediate families, vacation portraits, and milestone moments. Relaxed pace, gentle direction. Even camera-shy kids and tired dads do fine here.
Extended Family Sessions Built for reunions, multi-generation groups, and big families. More time, more breaks, and a flow that keeps Grandma from getting tired of standing.
Mini Sessions Shorter sessions for families who want great photos without burning an evening of vacation. Good fit for young kids or quick keepsakes.

What to Expect at Your Session
Gentle posing with real movement and interaction — nobody stands stiff in a line. Breaks for the kids when they need them. Editing that looks like your family in 2026 and will still look like your family in 2046 (no heavy filters, no trendy color grading). It feels more like a walk than a photo shoot.
No forced smiles. No pressure. Just your people, looking like themselves.
