We traveled from out of state and she was very flexible in helping us to find the perfect location for our photos, as well as manage six families and multiple small children to make sure everyone got beautiful photographs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for memorable family photos!

She was great with our big family which consisted of 8 adults and 12 kids ranging in ages from 2 to 12! And her recommendation of the Metcalf Bottoms Picnic area was beautiful and spot on! I can't wait to see our family photos. It was a good experience for all! Thank you Rachel.

Ray & I married at Bluff Mountain Inn and decided to add on an extra photo session after reviewing…read morethe quality of photographs on the Bluff Mountain website. Well, to back up a bit, I researched high and low for a memorable, intimate venue but the photographs are what sold us. So happy I called a few weeks after booking the location to see if we could add the extra session the day before our wedding. Not only was the photographer flexible and available, but affordable. Score!! Rick is a photographer with the venue who took our pictures both the day before and at our wedding. Rick and the quality of the pictures he took really lived up to (and exceed) our expectations, could not have asked for a better experience. We thought at best, we'd get a handful of pictures for the price at a single location. However to our surprise, Rick had the afternoon free and it was a gorgeous day, he asked us if we were free to check out another location and we enthusiastically said yes! Granted nearly everywhere you look is an exceptional, scenic Kodak moment, but I don't believe our pictures could've been captured better by anyone else. The rest of the trip Ray and I took a lot of pictures of several beautiful areas within and around the state park. But as you can guess, they look nothing like the ones Rick took :) Rick's blew us away on both days. We never looked better and Mother Nature could not have been captured more beautifully. We got some amazing pictures with the Smoky's behind us, in the state park, on a bridge, in a creek, in front of old abandoned houses, just to name a few. Being a resident of the area, it became apparent quickly Rick knew all the great spots at the right time of day. It was truly a most special day and we couldn't be more thankful to have the pictures to cherish. Thank you!

Initially, I had written a scathing review for Smoke n Lenses that was predicated on…read moremiscommunications on both of our parts. When we received our first set of photos for our cabin that was to be posted on Airbnb, they were not exactly what we were expecting. After initial conversation about redoing some of the photos, we were fearful that our concerns were not being heard. Then Kaitlyn, the main photographer and editor, went above and beyond to deliver us a product that met our needs. Smoke n Lenses photography is superb both in style and composition. Kaitlyn explained that she was initially trained in real estate photography and after discussing our needs for Airbnb photography, she was able to flawlessly capture the space in a way that guests would be able to envision themselves staying their for the holidays with their family. This was not easy. Our cabin has ALOT of wood, more than a normal cabin. Getting the right lighting, both in pre and post production is difficult. I was amazed at her superb skill to do so. Kaitlyn and Garett are budding Airbnb photographers with lots of talent and over half a decade of professional photography experience. They care deeply for their business and service to their customers. Being a business owner is tough but rewarding work. It can be very difficult at times due to verbose jerks, like me, who write critical reviews. I am so appreciative of both Kaitlyn and Garett's care and effort to work it out, even when things got escalated. Investors! If you want to increase your ROI and care about creating a quality listing on any booking platform, entrust your photography to Smoke n Lenses.

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!

She is sweet, kind, and has a brilliant eye for a beautiful photo. She is a talented editor and very professional. Her packages are customizable and pricing is on par with other wedding photographers in the Knoxville area. She was quick to get us a ton of photos for our wedding sneak peak while we were still on our honeymoon! She's easy to communicate with and really was patient with us (and our large bridal party) during our wedding day...and with our golden retriever for our Christmas photos. We look forward to many more family & anniversary shoots with Emily- highly recommend!!

We are so glad we found Julie after frantically searching online for a local wedding photographer…read morewithin a couple months of our special day. Her reviews were great, her online portfolio looked amazing, and her artistic style was exactly what we were looking for. The universe must've been perfectly aligned for her to be able to squeeze us in to her super booked schedule. Prior to the "big day" Julie kept in contact with us and helped us brainstorm ideas to best utilize her time and talent. As for her professionalism, Julie is top notch! She was always on time yet patient with us and our hectic schedule. She just seemed to go with the flow of things, and reassured us that things happen the way they are supposed to. She even prepared in advance for our adventure shoot and had essential oils on hand to ease motion sickness. What a life saver that ended up being! Julie's photos came out beautifully and she truly captured the emotion in the moment. It was exactly what we wanted and we are forever grateful to her. Besides her skills, her awesome attitude and cool vibe is what will continue to progress her success. Glad to be a part of it. She far exceeded our expectations and we would definitely hire her again.
