In the middle of winter in Cades Cove can be cold, but on this day it felt like spring!  JH requested a photography session in Cades Cove at one of the historic buildings, John Oliver’s place.

John Oliver’s cabin was featured on a recently released quarter.  It was the 21st in the mint’s America the Beautiful program.

The grounds around John Oliver’s cabin in Cades Cove makes wonderful backdrops for portrait photography.

Note: I hold a CUA (commercial use authorization) permit with the National Park Service which gives Kathy Smith Photography permission to do wedding photography and portrait photography in Cades Cove and all areas of the Great Smoky Mountains.  Contact me if you are interested in a session.
