So far my wife and I have had 2 sessions with Jackie, a maternity shoot & newborn shoot. Both…read moreshoots went very smooth and the results came out amazing. Not only does Jackie capture beautiful shots but she is extremely good with kids. During the maternity shoot she was able to coerce our 18 month old to pose and smile as needed, she definitely had his attention and smiling. When we did the newborn shoot at her studio I was shocked how she was able to change the newborns outfits and poses without him crying or fussy, I told her she had to have been a baby whisperer My wife and I absolutely love all the photos she took and look forward very much to our two remaining sessions.

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.

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.

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 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.
