Family Photos by the Mountain river in Greenbrier, and Gatlinburg Overloook

When summer heat settles over the Smokies, many of the most popular river spots fill up with swimmers as early as 9 a.m.
If you love this peaceful location by the mountain river in Greenbrier Cove, you’ll want to plan an early morning session - ideally around 8 a.m. - to enjoy it at its quietest.

The cool air, soft morning light, and the gentle sound of rushing water make it a perfect backdrop for Gatlinburg family photos.
This hidden gem in Greenbrier offers a beautiful mix of natural scenery and serene atmosphere that photographs beautifully year-round.

Another early-morning favorite location for a Gatlinburg family picture is the Gatlinburg Overlook.
The views are truly spectacular, especially when the mountains are draped in a soft layer of clouds. While sunny days can sometimes make the distant ridges appear washed out, overcast mornings give the Smokies a moody, romantic quality that looks incredible in portraits.
​
Whether it’s the cool riverside charm of Greenbrier Cove or the sweeping vistas of the Gatlinburg Overlook, starting your session early not only helps you avoid the crowds—it also gives you the best light and the most peaceful experience for your photographs.
