There are certain sessions that feel extra special, and this was definitely one of them. This beautiful senior isn’t just any client—she’s the daughter of one of my oldest and dearest friends from college. She’s like a niece to me, and I can’t believe she’s already getting ready to head off to college herself! It feels like just yesterday we were all young and figuring out life, and now she’s about to embark on her own incredible journey.
When it came time to plan her senior session, we wanted to capture her in a place that holds meaning for her. Since she lives in Chattanooga, I made the trip down to photograph her in some of her favorite spots. We originally scheduled the session last month, but as luck would have it, it ended up raining on us and we had to try again for another date. This past weekend, we finally made it happen! Though it was absolutely freezing and the wind had a mind of its own, we at least dodged the rain. And honestly? I wouldn’t have changed a thing—the overcast skies gave us the most gorgeous, soft lighting that made every shot feel magical.
We explored some truly stunning locations, from scenic riverside spots to the iconic pedestrian bridge. If you look closely, you can even see the Tennessee Aquarium in the background of some of the images! One of my absolute favorite stops was a vibrant alley covered in chalk art, which added such a fun and dynamic feel to the session. It was the perfect mix of edgy and whimsical.
I am so honored to have captured this milestone for someone so special to me. I have no doubt that she’s going to do amazing things in college and beyond.
Enjoy this little sneak peek from her session! I can’t wait to see all the adventures that await her. 💕
