Photographers in Gatlinburg TN | The Wedoff's Smoky Mountain Family Pictures.

Pigeon Forge Vacation photographer



Oh, the Wedoff’s Gatlinburg photography session has to be one of my very favorites. This beautiful Mama is also a photographer in her hometown and trusted and loved ME enough to do her own family pictures. Let me tell you, it is always an honor to photograph other photographers, but also a bit nerve wracking; they chose YOU to photograph their very own family when they know the ins and outs of photography.

While they were vacationing in Gatlinburg TN, we set up a session in my very, very favorite place on earth: Cades Cove. It’s so perfect for family pictures! It’s a bit of a drive, but can you really beat 360 degree mountain views without a hike??? I think not!



Candid family pictures are always a hit ( and SUPER hard to take by yourself on a tripod), so we did a focus a bit more on fun and lifestyle type images during their session. We played a lot of games, and laughed, and just had a great time. I was seriously sad when their session was over, because their three girls, were such fun! They smiles, and giggled, and were just a blast! The precious youngest girl even told her mom the portrait session was her favorite part of the trip; if that doesn’t make me feel like I did my job 100%, I don’t know what would.

Seriously; I love my job and couldn’t ask for a better way to spend my evenings than with amazing, loving families who invite me to join them for a fun trip to the Smoky Mountains <3.

Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge Photographers | Extended Family Reunion Session | The Delorey Family

Cades Cove Extended Family Pictures


I know some Gatlinburg photographers cringe when they get a request for a family reunion portrait sessions in the mountains, but I’m an oddball! I LOVE these big family pictures and getting to meet so many great people. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes getting thirty people into place is a bit like herding cats and I have to get a bit bossy, but WOW are the results worth it!

I’m from a pretty small family myself, so I truly love being immersed in the fun and love of these big groups. Let me tell you, we laugh and joke, a LOT. It’s truly as great a time for me as them.

The Delorey family had 29 members join them for their Pigeon Forge vacation, which is on the larger side of groups I’ve photographed. The heads of the family had five handsome sons, who all started their own beautiful families.

These guys were pros at this, and the beautiful sister-in- laws?? So helpful and organized with the session, they were just amazing at helping me get everyone in place for the perfect pose. Thanks ladies!!!

Let’s not forget that it rained most of the day, so the fields were a muddy mess, and we had to cross our fingers the skies didn’t open back up, but they were troopers! Don’t take my word for it though, see for yourself!
