Trey and Nicole - South Pittsburg High School Prom 2021

Prom season is here!! My first set of prom kids was Trey and Nicole. The funny thing is, Trey and his family are my oldest clients. The very first “client” I ever had was Trey’s younger brother, I shot his newborn pictures. I have taken the kids pictures, their mom and dad, their grandparents, their aunt and her daughter so many times over the years. It’s so hard for me to believe that Trey is 18 now. Such a sweet boy and he’s grown up so incredibly fast. They headed from here to South Pittsburg High School’s 2021 Prom.

Jayden MCHS 2020 Senior Session

Let’s be real here, senior guys do not want their pictures taken. They do it because their moms want it. Jayden was no different. But after just a few minutes he really opened up and his entire session was so easy.

Hannah Senior RHMS 2019 Senior in South Pittsburg, TN

It’s always so weird to take senior portraits when it’s a child you’ve known for a long time! Hannah has become such a beautiful young woman. She’s kind and sweet and funny too. We took the first half of her senior portraits at Richard Hardy High School, and the second half we took on Main Street in Downtown South Pittsburg.

Jonathan Senior Session at the Tennessee River in Jasper, TN

Jonathan’s mother D’Anne booked this session and had a very unique set of ideas to make sure his Senior Portraits stood out from the crowd. It all came together perfectly and I’m pretty sure even Jonathan had a good time. He brought his cap & gown, his truck, his puppy and his gun.

Destiny Limited Edition Senior Session in Jasper, TN

Destiny’s mother and I went to high school together. Destiny is fun and carefree. She wasn’t neccesarily too excited about Senior Portraits but she was willing to have them made for her mom. She wanted something different and brought smoke bombs to her session! So much fun!!

Anna 2019 MCHS Senior Session

First, I’ve known Anna since she was a little girl. I have been friends with her mother for so long now, it’s crazy to me that Anna will be graduating this year!

Second, Anna is one of the easiest people on this earth to photograph. She is so laid back, and completely beautiful. It’s a total breeze!

Zane 2019 Senior Session

Zane’s mother Alisa contacted me wanting to set up a very unique session for her son Zane. They wanted half of them to be done at a local gym called Max Fit, and the other half outside on location on our town square in Jasper, TN. Of course I love new and different so I almost shouted, “YES” at her. Zane is such a sweet boy, and I had a blast trying out some new angles, literally climbing to the top of some equipment and then shooting for a bit on the square.

2019 MCHS Senior Rep Jade

I choose my Senior Reps each year, very, very carefully. I pay more attention to who they are as a person than I do what they look like. I chose Jade because she’s active at her school and super sweet. Jade is in Beta Club, Student Council, the Ridley Rowdies (our local school’s version of the pep club!), AND she’s in the Honors Program. But of course, she’s also absolutely stunning. She plans on attending UTK School of Law after graduating and I just know she will achieve all her goals. Be prepared for picture overload!

Annabelle Senior 2018

Annabelle was a really fun girl to get to know. She was nervous and a little shy at first. It took her a little bit, but I just kept asking questions and then her real personality came out. Such a sweet girl, so beautiful and literally just delightful to meet.

John 2018 MCHS Senior

Let’s just start out by saying — I LOVE John. I LOVE his mother Renea. They are two of the sweetest and most kind human beings you will ever have the luck of knowing. No long paragraphs here, straight to the portraits.

2019 Senior Rep Model Lilli

I’m going to start this blog post by letting you know, I LOVE Lilli! I am so glad I chose her as one of my Senior Rep Models. She’s a 2019 Senior at Richard Hardy Memorial School in South Pittsburg, TN. She’s so well rounded, so down to earth and so, so laid back. Her session was one of the easiest I’ve ever shot. I asked her to mess up her hair and she did. I asked her spin around and walk towards me at least 90343 times and she did, with a badly sprained ankle from volleyball! She’s a great student, a wonderful daughter, a quirky girl and so much fun to be around. I had a really hard time narrowing these down!!
