Hannah Post Prom | Southern Tennessee Senior Photographer

My beautiful Hannah.  I met Hannah through our community theatre.  We were both in a production of Sleeping Beauty last fall, and I quickly fell in love with her.  Since then we have become dear friends, and she has even assisted me at a wedding.  I love this young lady dearly.  It was no surprise to me when she was voted Prom Queen by her classmates.  We met one afternoon after school for a post prom session. I will go ahead and warn you that this is going to be a long post.  So many beautiful images of Hannah.

Of course we had to start off with some wearing the crown.

The nice thing about a post prom session is that we didn't have to worry about messing up the dress.

Hannah is a truly beauitful person.  She's not just a pretty face.  She is good.  She loves God.  She loves her family.  She loves others. 

She has such a kind and gentle spirit.  She is the young woman all mothers pray their daughters grow up to be.

My Molly loves her. I love her.

This fall she will be leaving for college.  She wants to become a nurse.  I was not surprised at all when she told me that was what she wanted to do.  Although, I think she would be a wonderful photographer, I can see her caring for others on a daily basis.  

I am so glad we took the time to have this shoot.  

Hannah, I don't think it is any suprise by now that I love you. You amaze me.  I pray that my daughters will grow to be beautiful young women like you. I feel that I have been so blessed to get to know you.  I am so proud of you.  You are beautiful through and through!

Kyle Senior 2011 - Southern Tennessee Senior Photographer

When I talked to Kyle's mom about his Senior session, she said he wanted bricks and concrete.  She told me Kyle was really laid back and relaxed.  She was right.  Kyle was a photographer's dream.  So easy going. Relaxed.  Natural.  I tell my clients before we start that the more relaxed they are the better their photos will be.  Just be yourself.  Kyle had no problem doing that.

He brought along his wake board.  His family spends a lot of time at the lake in the summer.  Actually, he and his mom had driven from the lake that afternoon just for his shoot.

I knew exactly where I wanted to start Kyle's session. This is a favorite spot of mine.

I loved the orange board.  It really popped against the neutral colors.

This one may be my favorite of the day. As is often the case, it is the unexpected ones I like the most.

Caught in the act.  Could there be a more natural shot of a teen?

Kyle's uncle met us with his grandfather's old Chevy.  Loved it!  They said it needed painting.  I said it was perfect!

The truck was awesome, but we also had to get a few of Kyle with his Mustang.

Kyle, thanks for a great afternoon.  A lot of times the guys are ready to be done before we even get started, but you were a great sport!  Good luck in your Senior year! 

Oh, and I just had to share a behind-the-scenes shot.  What do you do when you're dragged to your older cousin's senior portrait session? You find a nice spot and play your DS.
