My husband and I are both a bit awkward in front of a camera, and I often am not crazy about how I look in photos, but Leah did an incredible job making us feel at ease, capturing beautiful memories and really documenting the joy of the day. She also recommended several other vendors and we hired many of them-- they were all great! Really our only complaint is that we've got so many great photos that narrowing down which to frame and put in a wedding album is a challenge! 100% would recommend Leah to other couples getting married in the Smokies or Knoxville area!

She's one of the few photographers licensed to work there so that was extra helpful! Our session was just a few hours long and she was very flexible about timing and our needs. We skyped out all the details beforehand and that was a relief. I'm not particularly comfortable being photographed but she made it feel more natural than I was expecting. Our photos are beautiful. We are very pleased.

Catherine was an absolute joy to work with from the very beginning. She sent over a welcome packet…read morewhich included tips for picking the right outfits for the family, which I found to be extremely helpful. She even offered her phone number and gave me her input on outfit selections! Due to weather and a family emergency, we ended up rescheduling our photo session 2 hours after we arrived to Florida from Virginia (a 16 hour drive!!) I was skeptical about how our photos would look after being in the car for that long, and because the weather ended up being windy and cold! Turns out I had nothing to fear because I absolutely LOVE how our photos came out. I don't know how Catherine did it, but somehow all 5 of us look happy, rested, and not a bit wind swept. Another thing that meant a lot to me was that Catherine was able to make the experience FUN for my 4, 2, and 10 month old children. In doing so, she was able to capture their natural happy smiles. After the session, Catherine delivered the photos within a matter of days (right before the holidays too!). I'm telling you, she is amazing. I'm so happy that Catherine was able to document this special moment for us, and I would 100% choose her again!

I was trying to find more information for a friend of mine who was going to be in the area and hasn't had family photos in a long time. I wasn't asking for anything out of the norm -- my friend and her family were visiting TN last week and I reached out a few days before they were leaving to inquire about availability, location option, and pricing. This would have been such a special moment for her and her family, but we weren't able to make it work due to the lack of response. I would have understood if it couldn't work due to timing, but we didn't have the opportunity to figure that out...
