We are very pleased.

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!

Sarah is a brilliant photographer. I googled "best spots to propose in Gatlinburg", and found her…read moreblog. I made plans with her about 2 weeks beforehand. She was wonderful to plan with, and had dozens of suggestions. The day of, the road to the spot we had picked out was closed, and I was horrified and panicked. She immediately identified a backup spot, and met us there. She waited in the cold (this was during Thanksgiving week 2017 at 5am, it was COLD) for me to propose, for about 40 minutes, as I wanted to catch the sunrise. The pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY. The sun waited to rise until after I had gotten cold and impatient, and popped the question. She took more time to get photos with the sun in the background, and those were gorgeous. I cannot speak highly enough of Sarah, and her work. She is a sweet person, and truly loves what she does. It just so happens she is really damn good at it too. If you need photos in Gatlinburg, or if you're proposing, make the smart choice and contact A Lifetime Photography.

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 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...

She held a conversation with us the whole time so there was no awkward silence. She knew exactly what areas to use and what positions to put us in. She captured us in one of our favorite spots in Tennessee, Cade's Cove! She told us the pictures would be ready within 2 weeks, but we got them within 3 days! We had props we wanted to use that she made sure she got in the pictures and she made sure we got all of the poses we had in mind. We are already talking about booking her next year when we hope our whole family will be able to join us in our favorite vacation spot!
