Hi! I’m Zoe Smith

Wife. Mother. Photographer.

Welcome!

I’m so glad you found my online home! I’m excited to work with you. Before we get started, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I grew up at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, about forty minutes from anywhere, where wide-open spaces and endless skies sparked my love for stories and adventure. When I was ten, my grandpa gave me my first camera, and what began as a hobby quickly grew into a passion. In high school—while being homeschooled—I apprenticed under him, learning not just how to take photos, but how to see people and moments in a way worth preserving.

Though I’ve always loved photography, it was my passion for storytelling that shaped the direction of my career. As an author, I’ve come to believe every person carries a story worth telling, and portrait photography allows me to capture that story in a timeless, visual form.

In 2021, I moved to Texas with my parents, where I began to truly understand the fundamentals of portrait photography and pursue it professionally. Since then, I’ve married my husband, who serves in the military, and together we’ve had the opportunity to travel the country as we’re stationed in new places. Along the way, my camera has been my constant companion—helping me connect with people, celebrate their stories, and create portraits that feel deeply personal and lasting.
