Our Guides
J Smilanic
Owner/Founder
I began WNC Photo Tours in the fall of 2019. I’ve been a landscape photographer since 2011 and an outdoor junky for much longer. Running WNC Photo Tours has been a dream job and I feel incredibly blessed to share these experiences with our customers.
Born and raised in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, I have a deep appreciation for mountainous scenery. What started as a way to document the amazing beauty found along my backpacking trips through the mountains of Western North Carolina, photography quickly became my new passion and naturally paired quite nicely with my outdoor adventures.
