Most family and senior sessions have full session galleries up and ready to view in less than 3 weeks. I always offer a 24 hour social media sneak peek to share with anyone you wish!
To look through portfolios and really consider what you want your family or senior images to look like- a photographers website or printed materials should show you what level of work to expect from them!
What you see is what you get so find the style that perfectly matches what you want!
Budget so that you do not have to hire one whose photos you do not LOVE. Why? Few couples hang the graduation cake or cap and gown above the mantle, fewer still hand those items down to children and grandchildren.
Photos memorizing your priceless moments are what you get to share and remember by as the years go by- they are treasures!
Ask yourself: Is it worth it to get a bargain on photos if one is unhappy with the photos? Does the photographer have real client testimonials on view on their website & trusted sites like Google? How many sessions will that person photograph that day- is my session a priority? Is getting "free" photos worth it if I am unhappy with them or they are poor quality- or worse they are never delivered? Are prints available on my online gallery or do I have to go to a poor quality pharmacy to print them?

Nashville Writer & Theatre Session | Emily Class of 2017 | Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography Hendersonville Tn
Short Creative Humorous
Two seniors this chose the same favorite verse! Both are outstanding people who are true to the William Shakespeare quote:
Although she be but little she is fierce
Emily is planning to attend college at Carson Newman University, in Global Education
The summer after graduation she will be working & traveling to prepare for college, and as always, will be active in theatre, reading and writing! Don't you love her vintage 'keyboard' ;)
What was your biggest fear or worry about prior to the photo shoot?
I felt like I was going to look uncomfortable and awkward in every photo. The outcome was different. I enjoyed the photos and I had a fun time.
What is one piece of advice you have for other seniors preparing for their senior photography session?
It's not as awkward as you may think. Just be yourself and act natural.
Faithful Hendersonville Musician | Bryce Class of 2017 | 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.”
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!
Hunter's Hendersonville Tn Senior Horseback Portrait Adventure | Class of 2017 | Photographer anjeanette Illustration Seniors
Tennessee cowboy Hunter is a class of 2017 senior who works at one of the top horseback riding destinations in Middle Tn- Juro stables. Hunter wanted to incorporate his passion for the outdoors and adventures at the job he loves with his favorite folks- a lot of whom have 4 legs!
This Senior Sunday session was the day after a large stormy afternoon with heavy rain. One just never knows what the Tennessee slate summer weather will bring because we could not have been blessed with a more gorgeous and sunny day! I feel like I had a mini vacation hiking in the woods with Hunter and the beautiful Maggie.
This image of the beautiful stables landscape was a popular one on my Instagram feed- what a fantastic friendship!

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
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!

Hendersonville Tennessee Senior | Natalie | Anjeanette Illustration Photography
Senior Photos in Hendersonville Tn by Artistic Senior Picture Photographer Anjeanette Illustration Photography
Natalie approached me with a completely unique and hilariously fun idea to have her senior portraits made along Gallatin Road- she sent me a piece titled "20 Photos Of Nashville's Weird And Beautiful Gallatin Pike" from NPR written by none other than Mighty Joe Nolan (yep, that art guy & insomniac from The Scene!)
She had her favorite spots picked out so we had a BLAST! It was colourful in SO many ways-we laughed a lot and beautiful soul Natalie has portraits like no other!
This cool trumpeter's laugh is infections, and her freckles adorable- enjoy her postcards from Gallatin Pike!

The Dog Spot! The area all around this short strip of stores by the dalmatian wall is changing fast-and looking so cool! Sushi, hot chicken, juice bars and trendy boutiques....

Congrats Class of 2016! | Hendersonville, Tennessee Senior pictures | Anjeanette Illustration Photography
While I have been photographing seniors for several years with a school portrait business, this was the first year I really branched out on my own with longer, exclusive sessions where I had time to show off some amazing young people! I am so proud of you guys, many of you I have come to know and care about- and become friends with your mamas too! Blessings to you all in your adventures!
Caroline's Senior Session | Hendersonville Tn Senior Session | 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!
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.
Over to Amulet Farm, Gallatin
I love the sweet owner at Amulet Farm, Jenny Towle, and her place has long been a favorite for photos. I was introduced to Jenny by Amy of And How! photography- look at that soft afternoon Golden Hour sun! Ahhhh, such a gorgeous and relaxing view of middle Tennessee and all its beauty!
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.
Mikki's Senior Session | Hendersonville Tn Senior Pictures by Artistic Photographer | Anjeanette Illustration Photography
Senior Photos in Hendersonville Tn by Artistic Senior Picture Photographer Anjeanette Illustration Photography
She has brains, talent, beauty, and drive: Mikki is a fireball, with big dreams and the hard work, dedication, and ambition to achieve her goals. She has her college accepted and prepared for, and is finishing out her senior year at the top of her Saxophone Marching & Concert section and track and cross country teams!
Describing Mikki is hard because this young person is a spit fire. I sound so old right? It is just hard to pin down Mikki as just one thing or another because she is so many things! A photographer with passion excitement, Mikki has personal projects she is photographing which can be seen here, additionally she photographs for her church. Mikki has spoken at conventions like the VFW State Convention, because she is concerned about her world and a politically motivated young writer she will be representing Tennessee at the Voice of Democracy Essay Competition in Washington DC. Her mom told me she started running a few years ago to think and relax and realized she was motivated and talented enough for cross country and track. On top of it all she is a member of a her band as a saxophonist and that band schedule is no joke demanding- daily practices, weekends full of competitions and extra practices, concerts, sectionals, as well as volunteering her time with a middle school band.
I always ask seniors for favorite spots and ideal locations- because while I could just slap up one of my more generic backdrops and have lovely portraits that is just one element... I would much rather get their personalities in "the wild"- where they are comfortable and can relax and express themselves and their real interests! Mikki chose her school grounds, and don't you just love that Tennessee has school grounds that look like these? Fields of gold fauna surrounding the campus? Sure looks different from my high school surrounded by asphalt and concrete! We explored her track, cross country running routes through the trees, the stream running along side the gym, and even used the track and stadium for a set up. As the shoot progressed, I quickly stopped having to pose Mikki. Her mother and Ijust watched as she relaxed and took chances, which gave me more freedom to get creative with my shooting. I love it when this cycle of creativity gets started. What happens is we end up with amazing photos full of personality like these.
Watch her go- enjoy your senior year Mickie!!
Elis Senior Session | Hendersonville Tn Senior Pictures by Photographer | Anjeanette Illustration Photography
Beech High School Class of 2016 Senior Nick is a guys guy…you see him here and you think — All American kid - but he’s got a wide range of talent and interests that we also were able to showcase during his senior photo shoot. Outdoors man Eli wanted a senior session in the woods he enjoys fishing, kayaking, and with his family. So we got our feet wet and headed for the creek at the White House Greenway. Smart, funny, good looking guy who is an announcer at basketball games, hunter and fisher, DECA, and man of God.
E was a bit reluctant at first, hey I know photo shoots are not always the top of guys favorite activities! I think once we got splashing arounf=d in the creek and laughing it was not as bad as he anticipated. He was friendly, and happy to make his mama proud!
Savannah & Toby Senior Session | Hendersonville Tn Artistic Senior Pictures by Photographer | Anjeanette Illustration Photography
Great meeting up with Senior Savannah at the Historic Palace in Gallatin for a theatre themed senior shoot before heading over to a golden field for sunny dramatic photos! At the time we were taking pictures Savannah was preparing for her school production of Grease, however the most important part of her senior portrait session was including her furry baby Toby in some of her portraits. Toby is hilarious, he looks like a miniature dark grey and brown Wookie and I swear he can cock one eyebrow and roll his eyes. He was the perfect model although I suspect silent judgment- just kidding. Savannah is one of those charismatic people who instantly makes you smile and laugh. We met at church in Hendersonville, Tn through the youth program she is actively involved in, and where her mama mentors my daughter in a small group! She has a great personality, an expressive demeanor and a wonderful smile. She’s confident, both when chatting about school and life, and even when she’s standing by herself in the middle of a field getting her photo taken waving to parade style to passerbys.
We had beautiful weather for her senior photo session. I am one of those photographers who doesn't just wait around all day for sunset (and I love sunset golden hour do not get me wrong) I love bright back light! It work amazingly for dramatic shots with flash as well as in natural light with a low ISO and a high shutter speed. I didn't want to be stuck only taking photos at one time of day, so because high noon sun can be pretty intimidating I got out and practiced and listened to my hero Jasmine Stars videos and made it work in the middle of the day. Well, wouldn't you know its my favorite time to photograph now? Makes me want to move to SoCal where the sunny days average a whole lot higher than what feels like semi tropical middle Tennessee. So. Many. Grey. Rainy. Skies. I really need to find my best practices for overcast grey, I truthfully admit they are not my favorites.
Not a problem for Savannah senior portraits though! Bright sunshine glow wrapped all over Savannah that late summer day, while at the same time providing us with some great light to work with. I think I actually set a new record for the number of images taken at a senior session! This is the one where I honestly considered my niche- and afterwards choose to only do Seniors and Weddings! I still photograph friends families, and their children, as well as at weddings there are lots of family style portraits, but this was a pivotal day for me career wise. No more marketing to everybody. I think a huge part of that decision was all the fun and excitement Savannah brought to the session! Seniors are amazing, and all the personality in their sessions make them so artistic and enjoyable. Much like Savannah, they want to explore and try out fun ideas, and they are not afraid to plunge into the world and make it happen. Go take on the world girl!
