The man behind the lens!
“I like to photograph anyone before they know what their best angles are.” – Ellen Von Unwerth
Steven Smiley: jSmileyShots
I am Steven Smiley, a U.S. Veteran and an openly gay photographer. Originally from North Florida, I relocated to Maryland in 2014 and proudly rooted my life and business in Allegany County in 2020.
My Approach: My style is built on precision and authenticity. I specialize in the candid moment—natural, unposed, and full of genuine emotion—for all my clients.
I shoot all weddings, family portraits, corporate events, and editorial work. No matter the subject, I prioritize capturing the real story.
My commitment to quality has been recognized with features in five different magazines and front-page coverage in two newspapers.
