EXPERIENCE

Never had your photos taken before?

Every couple tells me the same thing…

“WE’RE NERVOUS! We don’t take photos together, how does this work?!”

I would love to put your mind at ease and tell you what a session at 333 Photography feels like…

Your session shouldn’t feel like a photo shoot, fast paced and posing non stop…

but more like two best friends in love, who want to create their own Pinterest inspired photos, while making memories in The Smokies together!

I will be there to gently direct the session when needed, and tell you simple cues, but I love capturing your natural personalities together, and letting you both be yourselves.

By the end of your session, my hope is that you'll leave saying, "That was actually so much fun."

Samantha made our session so special. We felt so comfortable despite neither of us really liking our photo taken. She took great care in planning and communicating with us that made everything feel so easy. Most importantly, she captures great photos! H+R
