Faithful Hendersonville Musician | Bryce Class of 2017 | Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography

Hendersonville Tn Senior pictures photo portrait Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

Bryce is a 2017 senior planning to attend college at Wittenberg University in a Psychology; pre-seminary track. All of his activities are surrounded in music, at church, band camp, and even during vacation he is working on his Trombone or bass guitar. Faith and music are so important to him we actually held his portrait session at his first choice location- his church   St. Timothy Lutheran in Hendersonville! I love finding out locations FROM seniors, not because I am completely lazy because (I have a ton of favorite spots)

It is because I want this to be as MUCH about the senior as possible!

  

St Timothy’s prayer path, pictured below,  is a favorite spot at church for Bryce.

According to Lord of Life Lutheran in Minnesota “The prayer path is a profound devotional tool. It can be a source of healing, creativity, self-knowledge and connection with the holy. Typically, the prayer path meditation involves three stages”. Learn more about it by clicking here or go ask at St. Timothy!

I chose my church because of its importance in my life. Ms. AJ did a great job of incorporating music too.
— Bryce, Class of 2017

While I love that he thought his session was “pretty cool” ( this is sincerely the highest praise from a guy- I know its perhaps not the biggest or most favorite highlight of your year? HA!)
My favorite response from Bryce about his session is his advicefor other seniors preparing for their senior photography session- to “Just say, "yes, mom". It's makes life much easier”

Excellent! This young man is so funny, talented, and wise!

Fun fact: Bryce is the only one in his family that doesn't have brown eyes!

Station Camp Marching Band Invitational 2017 | Gallatin Tennessee | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Phoenix Arizona

25 Dynamic Marching Bands...

... competed a few weeks ago at Sumner county's own Station Camp High School. The marching invitational is sponsored and run by the Station Camp Thundering Herd under the direction of Jim Reed, and The SC Band Boosters. In addition to the hard work of parents and vendors, this invitational would be impossible without the hundreds of hours put in by the Thundering Herd band students, led by Drum Majors Brian Mason and Ashley Leininger. Frankly, it was a brutally hot day, yet the bands performed artistically & wonderfully despite heat advisory warnings. Band kids are TOUGH! Marching bands condition long hours in the middle of the day through the summer holiday months to prepare- but I have to say I was so impressed at how effortless they made it look to carry several pounds of weight, doing intricate choreographed performances in 100 plus degrees.

Both The White House Connection and The Hendersonville Standard covered the event as well! click the papers names to see...

 

Here are a few photos from my favorite performances!

It was great meeting again with Franklin Tn Senior Briana, a few weeks after her sisters wedding! I was blessed enough to have gotten to know her as her big sister Danielle's maid of honor when I photographed the Belmont and Cheekwood wedding in Nashville. This smart and stunning lady is taking on photography, fashion, and many other pursuits- we met up to take her photos on her way back into town from another college campus visit. Can't wait to hear what she does next!

Just Being Jayla | Hendersonville Tn Senior Portraits | Artistic Photographer Anjeanette Illustration

I met Jayla Palmerin Hendersonville Tn a long while ago, then recently got to join forces with her a few months after she graduated a year early from high school to explore fashion & fairytales, while making her some pretty epic artistic senior portraits.  There is an amazing future ahead of this girl, there is a very amazing NOW happening indeed. She already has so many accomplishments- look for big news from her soon! Brains and beauty abound in this 17 year old actor, writer, and blogger at one of the top teen blogs Just Being Jayla!

For this shoot we collaborated on an adventurous artistic idea of fairytales and daydreams....as seniors prepare to embark in the so called 'real world' I feel like it is so important to keep a hold of dreams and magic even in an adult world. We talked about visions for a fashion focused artistic photo shoot where creativity and breaking boundaries- I would love for more adventures with Jayla and other seniors where we really try different things and just have fun!

Jayla began acting at 9, and has always loved it. She has been in several feature films, her most recent being "Remember The Goal", a film about a cross country team, in which she played the role of Shelby. Remember The Goal will premier this August! For updates and showtimes check the official movie Facebook page here.

I brought the camera gear and smoke bombs and Jayla herself styled and did her own MUHA with an assist from mom Melissa!

Most of the photos in this session were edited with VSCO and tweaks.

This spot close to Manchester Tn was as close to Heaven as can be, right here in Tennessee! Visit a waterfall today-please remember to take out everything you bring in...if I can carry light stands, cameras, and gear you can totally carry out your chip bags and pop bottles. It was s ad to see all the garbage folks left behind.

Lots if waterfall info can be found at the state park website

Anjeanette Illustration Seniors  Senior photos tennessee Hendersonville

I sought Jayla out because I wanted the opportunity to work with her as well as to explore a personal project for myself. As a fine artist who paints sometimes the instant gratification of setting up and photographing is so fast its exhilarating. The ideas and collaboration are front ended, with the shoot going relatively fast. About half of the creativity comes in the editing process for me. I wanted the chance to combine my two worlds of painting and photography, to slow down and develop the fairytale dreams I was thinking of further.

 

I spend decent amounts of time researching and learning about photography. I am an eager student of life in general, and hope to always be. Its easy when your studying something your love! I think if I could possibly "learn everything" about photography I would lose all passion for it...boring! So I try to continue making paintings and art for myself to explore artistic purposes and well, just practice! The amount of information as to why personal projects are important is pretty overwhelming but I recommend Episode 232 of Sprouting Photographer, with weekend wisdom by Skip Cohen, interview with Vincent Laforet and this Petapixel article for more concise explanations about WHY.

These images were shot on my 5DM2 & 5DM3 with 85mm, 16mm, and 70-200mm lens. We used natural light for most of the moments, a gold reflector for a few photos. For some dramatic photos Calumet strobes with Paul Buff vagabonds/Cyber Sync transmitters on Cheetah collapsible stands. Can't forget those epic Enola Gaye smoke bombs! I am a little obsessed with them and hope to do MANY more smoke bomb fashion sessions!

Senior Photos in Hendersonville Tn by Artistic Senior Picture Photographer Anjeanette Illustration Photography

Hendersonville Tn concert musician Caroline is pursuing her musical dreams after accomplishing great things as a high school student, I was so excited to photographer her senior portraits and will be listening for her in the future!

Hendersonville Tn Senior Pictures by Photographer Anjeanette Illustration Photography

Belmont University, College of Music

Caroline was her high school Drum Major, leading her marching season team on pep rallys, games, parades, and competition accomplishments including a Grand Champion at an Austin Peay Invitational. However, she expressed that her true passion was concert performance. She has had many first chairs and 1 ratings at bands assembled from the best of the best throughout the state of Tennessee. We met up first at Belmont, where dad David had connections that allowed us access into the gorgeous concert hall designed by the same artists who created Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Hall.

This is awesome! Carolines's dad David grabbed a photo of me taking her senior photos! Look at me pointing all bossy like :) You can see my favorite camera 'bag', the LowePro Flipside Sport 20L AW, my Calumut light with on my favorite stand ( in the entire universe forever) Cheetah stand, and my 5DM2 body with Paul Buff Cybersync transmitters.  It looks like the 85mm lens...I usually use a Sigma 85mm 1.4, Tamron 70-200mm, Canon Nifty Fifity 50mm 1.4, and 24-70mm lens on portrait shoots.
