Alisha Bacon ended our family photography session less than 30 minutes into our 90 minute session…read more I had to take my toddler inside to bandage a scrape, she was pulling out of the driveway when I returned, and did not stop when I called. She rushed through stiff photographs giving next to no guidance. My family will never all be in the same place again, this was our one chance and we ended up with mediocre pictures that could have been taken at a department store. Do not trust your important memories to someone who cares so little.

My fiancé and I had a one hour session with Alisha. From start to finish she was amazing. Leading…read moreup to our session she communicated through email from time and location of session to where to meet prior to session start time because there's no service where we chose to do them. 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!

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.

Our photographer, Ashley, was incredible. She was just as excited about our engagement as we were, and took the time to pose us AND our families for the perfect amount of photos. We could not be more grateful for the experience that we had, and will never forget our trip to the smokey mountains because of her! I would recommend them to anyone. On top of this, our photos were back by today (Tuesday) and we just got engaged Friday!

My wife wished to remain anonymous. BUT…read more.. For our first anniversary; I booked a session with Nina for my husband because year 1= paper!!. I had seen her content on Instagram and knew that her approach and personality would make the process incredibly approachable, comfortable, and professional. I was absolutely blown away by the process; we started with a phenomenal makeup session that elevated the photos perfectly! And Nina made the whole process so easy and comfortable! She gave direction on poses, and welcomed input to personalize the session. We had the photos back in no time, and we were absolutely blown away! They turned out so so well! We could not have asked for a better experience, and my husband asked about doing a holiday themed session!

Family Pastor was able to get in touch with us on April 20, 2 days after paying the deposit. When called to let him now we wouldn't be needing him, was informed we would not get our deposit back. No refunds within 30 days of the ceremony. Meaning it didnt matter we had just booked 2 days ago, because we booked 26 days before the wedding, meant he would and did keep the entire deposit. Thanks Jim. With a small budget, paying for the wedding ourselves, we really could have used that money elsewhere.

My website is elegant, personal, and informative, and has given me an online presence that I feel super confident about. I no longer make excuses for how my website looks, and I send people to my site all the time now. Aside from that, my online sales are up 700%ytd currently. Aaron, the designer and photographer, gives me my analytics readings monthly and translates that information for me so I can make sense of it. Fistful of Tigers also did a fantastic job taking photos around my shop, to make my website specific to me and what I do and offer at my business. Monthly I provide FOT with blog content and they format the information so it looks great. I have gotten more than my money's worth from Fistful of Tigers and am super happy with my experience working with them.
