They were eager to spend some time with their family! It isn’t very often you can get the whole family together. I was very happy to be able to capture their photos for them. They wanted a mountain view background, so we chose to drive up the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to get a view of the mountains. Unfortunately, the Smoky mountains live up to their name and was pretty smoky after the rain storm.

I was told mom doesn’t smile especially in front of the camera and to get as much candid shots of her smiling, I think I got a few 😉

After we stopped at the mountain view overlook, we drove down to another one of my favorite stops. While driving, we saw a mama bear. They loved that part!

I think we all had a great time taking photos. They were a pleasure to work with. I loved the way the photos came out! Thanks for allowing me to capture your vacation for you!
