A Fun Branding Session with Kelly in Pigeon Forge, TN
A Branding Session with a Local Twist
Let’s talk about the magic that happens when you mix a personal branding session with a brand-new business venture! I had the chance to photograph Kelly, a new short-term rental host in Gatlinburg, as she stepped into the world of vacation rentals. To showcase her personality and give future guests a glimpse into her brand, Kelly chose to have her branding session at The Island in Pigeon Forge—one of the most lively and colorful spots in the area!
We wanted her marketing images to reflect her excitement for this new adventure as well as highlight the types of attractions that made Kelly and her family fall in love with Gatlinburg in the first place. The Island was the perfect backdrop! With its vibrant atmosphere, playful energy, and iconic landmarks (hello, Great Smoky Mountain Wheel!), we captured a mix of lifestyle portraits, behind-the-scenes moments, and fun, personality-filled shots.
The goal? To give her audience a feel for who she is—not just as a host but as someone who genuinely loves this area and wants to share it with others. Because let’s be honest, booking a cabin isn’t just about the property—it’s about the experience.
SkyView Getaways
Kelly’s property, SkyView Getaways, is a dream spot for anyone visiting the Smokies. Nestled in the heart of Gatlinburg, her property is designed for relaxation, with cozy interiors, stunning mountain views, and all the little touches that make a stay special.
Why Branding Photos Matter for Small Business Owners
Whether you’re a rental property host, entrepreneur, or creative business owner, branding photography is key to standing out. Kelly’s session will give her fresh, professional images to use across her listings, website, and social media—helping potential guests connect with her on a more personal level.
If you’re a small business owner in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, or the Smokies and need updated branding photos, let’s make it happen! Your brand deserves images that reflect who you are and what you do.
