Senior Session at Eastern Flank Battlefield Park | Franklin, TN

Posted in Eastern Flank Battlefield Park, Portrait Sessions, Seniors & TeensTagged , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

There’s something incredibly special about photographing the children of close friends—kids you’ve watched grow up over the years. It’s such an honor to be able to capture these big milestones in their lives. This session was particularly meaningful, as I’ve known this amazing senior for quite some time. Watching her prepare for the next chapter in life has been so exciting, and it was truly a joy to photograph her at this pivotal moment.

We chose Eastern Flank Battlefield Park in Franklin, TN for the backdrop, and it did not disappoint! The weather was perfect, and the golden light gave us the most beautiful setting. But I have to give a big shout-out to her mom, who stepped up as our very own wind machine, adding just the right amount of movement to those gorgeous shots.

I love how this session turned out. She absolutely nailed it, and I can’t wait to see what her future holds!

Embracing Senior Moments at South 40 Farms

Once again, South 40 Farms proves to be the perfect backdrop for capturing precious memories, especially during this senior session with a future Georgia Bulldog. But let me tell you – these senior sessions are hitting differently for me this year, as I have a senior of my own.

As April approaches, the reality of my own child’s senior year sinks in. The calendar is filled with senior walks, celebrations, and graduation practices. It’s a bittersweet time, marked by excitement for the future and a tinge of sadness as we prepare to say goodbye to this chapter of our lives.

Planning for life after graduation is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking. There’s a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead, coupled with the fear of the unknown.

So, as we navigate these final months before our babies leave the nest, I ask for your thoughts and well wishes for all of us Class of ’24 parents. It’s a journey filled with mixed emotions, but one that we embark on with hope and excitement for what the future holds.

I am thankful to be able to celebrate with them through capturing their senior photos. Class of ’24, enjoy these days and be proud of all you have accomplished!

Senior Guy Session: A Football-Themed Shoot

Posted in UncategorizedTagged , , , , , , , Leave a comment
Football themed Senior guy photo session at Summit High School

During a recent senior photo session, I had the pleasure of capturing the essence of a young man whose life revolves around football. This session took us to the heart of his passion – his high school football field.

I typically work with natural light, but this time, we ventured into the locker room and played with dramatic flashes. It was an exciting departure from my usual style, and it added a layer of intensity that perfectly reflected his dedication to the sport. It was a fun departure from my comfort zone, and the shots turned out to be some of my favorites.

After the locker room, we made our way to the football field, right as the sun was setting. It’s a location I’m quite familiar with because it’s the same school my own kids attend, so I knew that the sun would dip below the horizon just behind the bleachers.

What made this session even more memorable was the inclusion of his family, including their dogs. I often get asked if we can include some family shots in a senior session. I frequently receive requests for family portraits during senior sessions, and I’m always more than willing to accommodate these requests. Plus, it’s worth mentioning that our four-legged friends are always welcome to join in the fun.

If you’re interested in your own unique senior photo session or have a creative idea in mind, I’d love to be part of your story. Get in touch, and let’s capture your story through my lens.

Senior Girl Portrait Session in Middle Tennessee

Senior Girl Portrait Session with Crystal Freemon Photograpy hy

Gah, I can’t believe these kids are growing up so fast. This senior is the oldest daughter of one of the moms in my crew….my VP when I was president of the PTO when the kids were in elementary school. So just the other day we were organizing fun runs and silent auctions to build playgrounds, and now we are researching colleges. Where does the time go?

Emily had the awesome idea of shooting her Senior Portraits at Cheeks Bend, a place where we both frequently go hiking. It’s probably not a location that I would take most clients because we actually hiked to get to the various spots, but for Emily it was perfect. I especially had fun photographing her in and around the caves. I hope she loves this session as much as I do.

Senior Photo Session at Henry Horton

Middle Tennessee Senior Photographer at Henry Horton State Park

I loved shooting this Senior Portrait Session. The lovely young woman is the daughter of an old friend, and it was great to catch up with them both.

I also love that she chose Henry Horton Park for her location. I think Henry Horton is an excellent spot for photos in general. She chose the spot because she hikes here frequently. I always love it when seniors select a location that is meaningful to them.

One of the most important things to me is that my clients see themselves in their photos. From location to wardrobe, I want your portrait session to feel authentic.

I recently had a family with young children who told me that they aren’t “outdoorsy” in the least. I don’t normally do urban sessions with my littlest clients because they generally like wide-open spaces to roam around. But for this family, that didn’t feel authentic. So we did a session in downtown Columbia and it turned out great.

Sometimes I have clients who feel they need to dress a certain way because that’s what they see on Pinterest or whatever. I give clients some guidelines about choosing a wardrobe, but my number one rule is that you be yourself. If you hate dresses, why would you wear one for your photo session? But if you never get to wear dresses but they make you feel fabulous, then let’s do that.

Every one of my clients is beautiful and unique. I hope to create a space where they are able to be themselves so I can capture that.

This is probably too many photos for a sneak peek, but I can’t help it. I have decision fatigue and also I just love this Senior Portrait Session. Everything was perfect…the weather, the leaves, and the subject.

I wish every day could be late October in Middle Tennessee.

Senior Portrait Session in Downtown Franklin

It was a gorgeous evening in downtown Franklin for this senior portrait session. This really is my favorite time of the year and I love spending it getting to know new clients. My only complaint is that because editing takes so long, I can’t schedule as many clients as I would like.

I do have a few mini-session spots open if you are looking for a fall session. There are also a few spots left for Santa photos.

Senior Pics in Downtown Columbia

Downtown Columbia Senior Pics for Summit High School Student

I so enjoyed getting to know Kate and her mom during this downtown Columbia Senior Portrait Session on Sunday. I feel like her mom and I should have known each other already as it seems we have been on the edge of each other’s circles for years.

Downtown Columbia has become one of my favorite spots for Senior Pictures. There are just so many fun walls and textures, which is what Kate was looking for in her photos. Downtown Franklin is another fun spot for a downtown look but is often more crowded.

If you need me, I’ll be editing. It’s the busy season. ❤

Senior Pictures in Downtown Columbia

Senior Pictures in Downtown Columbia

🎓 I can’t believe I’m already shooting Hadley’s senior pictures. I became friends with Hadley’s mom, Shannon, back in my years in the Spring Hill MOMS Club when Hadley was just a little girl. I later went on to serve on the Elementary School PTO with Shannon. All of those things seem very recent, so it doesn’t seem feasible that Hadley will graduate from Summit High School this weekend and will be off to Sewanee this fall. I can’t wait to hear about her adventures there and where life will take her.

Hadley wasn’t sure where she wanted her Senior Pictures taken, so I suggested Downtown Columbia. I think Downtown Columbia is often overlooked as a photo location, in favor of Franklin. But both towns have a ton of great brickwork and architecture that I love for Senior Photos. The advantage of Columbia is that it’s often less crowded.

To Hadley & all of the Class of 2021 – congratulations to you all. May your week be filled with wonderful celebrations and memories that will last a lifetime.

Summit High School Senior Portraits | Spring Hill TN

Senior Portrait Sessions Spring Hill TN

I’m still struggling with the fact that all these kids I knew as little ones in the MOMS club are now growing up and getting Senior portraits done, but here is another one. Mason went to Chapman’s’ Retreat Elementary when he was little, so the walking trail there seemed like a perfect, sentimental choice for his Senior Portraits.

He also wanted to include his love of Soccer in the sessions. Since Summit High School wasn’t far away, we were able to get in both locations. Shooting the Soccer pictures was so much fun. The light was beautiful.

We had to reschedule this session several times (thanks, Covid), but it worked out perfectly in the end. I’m so glad everything came together for Mason’s Senior Portrait Session.

If you need me, I’ll be editing.
