Capture Moments Before They Become Memories with Katie Smith Photography

Katie Smith Photography Logo Banner

Welcome Katie Smith Photography, a new Spring Fling vendor and community sponsor! Katie Smith Photography offers a variety of photography sessions in studio and on location.


"I help busy families reconnect, have fun, and capture moments full of love and laughter. By seeing their portraits on your wall, your children have a daily reminder of your love and a greater sense of belonging. And when life gets crazy, parents will see their photos and remember even when they don’t have it all together, together they have it all.

I want to be there for your family, from newborn to graduation to grandchildren. It is an honor to watch your family grow and help you preserve the legacy you’ll spend a lifetime creating."

In addition to being a photographer, Katie Smith is a mom of 3 who is passionate about giving back. She enjoys supporting nonprofit organizations with photo session fundraisers, donated gift certificates to silent auctions, and volunteer photography for special events.


"I have a soft spot for military families, children with special needs, and animal welfare."

Katie does a variety of sessions that cover the whole family's needs- pet, senior, family, and maternity portraits as well as branding shoots and headshots. She offers photography session in her studio, located in Mebane, plus she travels up to 30 miles from there, around the Triangle and the Triad capturing memories for her clients.

Another one of our amazing community sponsors is Tara Lynn & Co Photography! They are a new Spring Fling attendee as well so a warm welcome and a huge thanks for the support! We couldn't put on this event without sponsors like you!


Tara Lynn is a mom and journalist who has been photographing pets and their people since 2010. In addition to family and pet photography, she does small business branding sessions and volunteers hundreds of hours every year with animal rescues. She began photographing shelter pets in 2009 and this was the catalyst to her career change.


"Tara Lynn creates vibrant, love-filled photography for dog-loving families and brands, capturing the real, unfiltered moments that make life beautiful. Because if you wait for the ‘perfect time,’ you risk missing the moments that matter most."


 Tara Lynn Photography is committed to giving back to her community. Since 2009, she has photographed thousands of shelter pets to help them find forever homes. She has also captured the life-saving efforts of rescue organizations in action, using her images to share the powerful stores and inspire others to get involved. Each year, Tara Lynn Photography donates an average of 3-4 weeks' worth of photography to rescues in the Raleigh, NC, area!

Welcome Five Freedoms Photography back to Spring Fling this year!


Five Freedoms Photography started out of love for shelter dogs! Through photography, pet photographer, Joanne, works to help shelter dogs be valued and loved among all the millions of dogs available for adoption. She aims to spotlight the more difficult cases that are sometimes overlooked due to many reasons. Joanne does her best so that all shelter dogs get their chance to make it out of the shelter and find a strong fur-ever home. She also does an amazing job capturing the personality and spirit of dogs that do have loving homes!


This year at Spring Fling, Five Freedoms Photography will be offering pop up paw-trait sessions at their booth! Each pet parent can reserve a ten minute time slot for their pet and will receive two high-resolution digital images after the event!


Time slots will be scheduled every 15 minutes leaving room for walk ups on the event date. Five Freedoms Photography is opening up their scheduler to accommodate people who want to ensure they get a time slot and want to save time by booking in advance.

"OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, I’VE PHOTOGRAPHED WELL OVER 400 DOGS OF ALL AGES, SHAPES, SIZES, BREEDS, AND ENERGY LEVELS!"

"Now, I joke that I get paid in sloppy kisses, tail wags, and dog hair, which I wouldn’t trade in for the world."
