    We have vacationed at Douglas Lake for almost 20 years, from western PA, so it was not a surprise…read morewhen my daughter informed us, she'd like her senior pictures taken there. We contacted Ben at Smokey Mountain. His demeanor won us over and we took a chance and booked a session. The chance paid off! We explained our tight schedule and desires to Ben and our location on the lake. Ben visited the marina our boat would be docked at different times of the day to scout the conditions and got back to us with the best time to meet for pics. We met at 7:30 am and it was obvious the advance work Ben had put in and it helped with the setup. He also listened to what my daughter wanted and incorporated those wishes into the session. They took pics on our boat, the dock, the marina and other spots. Through multiple locations, outfit changes and poses, Ben was a dream to work with for my daughter and us. His commitment to my daughter's pics was appreciated. We received the pictures within the timeframe Ben told us and the results were better than the session! There are so many "keepers", the pics exceeded all expectations! We'd recommend Smokey Mountain Portraits to anyone for any occasion. Thanks Ben and keep up the great work! The Newells

    I reached out for a quote, received an initial response, responded to it with the additional…read moreinformation needed, and I never heard back. 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...

    A few highlights 1…read more Owner extremely responsive in written communication. Offered several options on where to shoot the family pictures. 2. Was super friendly and patient during the shoot with a three year old. 2. Rock bottom pricing. A few lowlights 1. They were 30 minutes late to the session. I almost gave up given it was humid as hell and I had a three year old with me. Refunded me $20 off price for inconvenience. 2. Photographer is self-taught and based on the direction (or lack there of) we got very few photos where there looked to be any composition at all. Lots of action shots of our backs, us looking down or sideways or chasing after our kid. There were a few good ones but frankly I could have caught those with my iPhone. Lighting was off on some pictures (over exposed, blurry pictures). Offered to fix so that I was completely satisfied which was great but I don't have time to go picture by picture asking to fix things. 3. Complete disconnect on final deliverable. No photos that I could print myself were available. I had to buy them or otherwise buy from the gallery. The only ones I could print myself had the company logo on it so not something I'd have professionally printed. Photographer must have stated a half dozen times that she makes more money shooting real estate photos and that is her specialty so I recommend that you look elsewhere for a family photographer.

    Kaitlyn is a great photographer. I love the pictures she took of my family. We had a lot of fun…read morethat day!
