Gatlinburg TN Photographers

Extended family sessions have my heart! I do just love getting to meet, photograph, and interact with these big, happy, crazy, loving families. Are they all picture-perfect Watsons? No! But they are all wonderful and perfect in their way.

The Houston Family was no exception; they were so sweet and genuine and a pleasure to work with. We had just a lovely Smoky Mountain Family picture session, with a stunning mountain backdrop. We met up near the Foothills Parkway for a fantastic view of the mountains as the backdrop of their family pictures, and NO HIKING (super important, no one wants to huff, puff, and be sweaty for pictures)!

Smoky Mountain Photographers

I love, love, love repeat clients, it’s one of the most rewarding experiences for a photographer. It’s really the best compliment I can receive! It was an honor to photograph the Manus Family twice in ONE year!

Back in the Spring, they came to see me for Cades Cove family pictures with their sweet kiddos, and when the whole family had a reunion at a Gatlinburg cabin in the fall, they asked me to come document the extended family while they were together on vacation.

We met just outside the national park, near their cabin rental and found a perfect tree lined road, bursting with color. It doesn’t get any better!!!

The fall color was at it’s peak in the Smoky Mountains, and there were so many sweet cousins, we had a fantastic time! Smiles and giggles, funny dances and silly faces to try and coax smiles out of the smallest. Reds, yellows, and some green still hanging on made the perfect backdrop for this family session. The group was fantastic to work with, and worked through the final minutes when it started sprinkling ( our darn weather is SOOO unpredictable!) ; you’d never know looking at their beautiful Gatlinburg family pictures!
