Kristin was a great communicator, wonderful host and amazing photographer. From her advice on breakfast spots, to her exceptional knowledge about the hike and what Asheville has to offer, she was awesome. The photographs were the cherry on top, and Kristin helped us reveal our wonderful baby news with photos from the hike. I recommend this tour for sure if you want a seamless experience, a beautiful hike and amazing pictures to capture the moments. Thank you, Kristin for a perfect ending to our 5th wedding anniversary celebration, and helping us capture the beginning of a new chapter in our lives.

Kristin is a great tour guide and an amazing photographer. We truly enjoyed spending part of Thanksgiving with Kristin. The hike is just beautiful and the waterfall is spectucular. We had a great time and highly recommend doing this hike and photo shoot with Kristin.

Kristin is a great guide! I can't wait to get the pictures she shot of my GF and I. She also was very patient with our questions as she gave us a private lesson on the use of our Nikon DSLR that we finally brought out to use multiple years after its purchase. That's right...she took the time to teach us not only the basics, but some great tricks (lengthening shutter speed to make flowing whitewater look like silk is just one example). Kristin was able to give us some history of the area we were hiking, pointed out plants, really cool mushrooms and other fungi, along with spots to leave the trail to get some really great shots. If you only have your cell's camera, no problem. Kristin was patient and even eager to take any photo you could envision in your mind...with her high end Canon! (Kristin is also great at putting you in positions to get awesome shots that may have never even CROSSED your mind. It became clear to many behind us, on the trail, that we had the inside track on some sweet photo-spot-secrets, that they followed us to a couple of the hidden gems. As a couple, we often, hell, nearly always feel awkward having "us" pictures taken lol. Kristin was able to put us at ease and encourage us to make the most of the beautiful backdrop, a great guide and photographer, and our red noses. Bottom line, this is THE couples activity. I can only imagine how great it would also be for families or singles looking to learn about photography...WITHOUT spending an hour Googling where to hike, places to park, selecting a worthwhile waterfall among many, and how to get beautiful pictures of it all. I'm not talking pictures you took of your family without you in them. Let an expert like Kristin give you a break, while making you look like a hero. You really can't go wrong. Thanks again Kristin! You're the best.
