Hey, I'm Blake Smith
I knew I was destined to be a creative at a very young age. As I got older, I found that my love for creating beautiful things was much more than just a hobby, it was my calling. I started dabbling in photography during my college newspaper days back in 2021 but I'd be lying if I said I was ANY good at it. It took me about three years to realize that the issue wasn’t a lack of skill—it was not fully understanding what I was truly passionate about behind the camera.
My photography style is simple - shoot and edit based on the client's needs, not based on my own personal aesthetic. I love light and airy but I'm not afraid of dark and moody or warm and cozy. It's all about YOU.
We're a match made in heaven if...
You're a "fun little beverage" fanatic
The key to my heart is shaped like a Diet Coke can. I'm truly not me without a fun little drink in hand. This includes iced coffees and matcha lattes.
You carry your Kindle everywhere you go
Reading is my favorite hobby. During the summer I enjoy sitting poolside with a good romance or thriller. (I could literally talk about Emily Henry and Elsie Silver all day.) Since 2024, I've read almost 100 books!
You have a fur baby
At the beginning of the year, the cat distribution system chose me and a sweet like orange cat followed me to my car. By the end of the week, he was taking over our tiny apartment one room at a time.
You love old sitcoms
No BS, I have watched and rewatched Seinfeld, Mike and Molly, My Wife and Kids and so many more iconic sitcoms on repeat since college. You truly cannot beat a perfectly timed laugh track.
You've found the one whom your soul loves
I met my boyfriend in Oct. 2022 and we have been inseparable since. He is truly my best friend and one of my biggest supporters. He's also my unofficial assistant. If you've found a love like mine, let's talk about it nonstop during your session!
You Bleed purple
I earned my B.S. in Communication Studies from Tarleton State in 2023 and am working toward my M.S. in Business Management, expected to finish in 2026. In addition to being an alumni, and technically current student, I work full-time at Tarleton in the Division of Enrollment Management. I could truly talk about my love for Tarleton State until I'm blue in the face.
