I first met Taylor when she coached my daughter's winter guard team, and boy can this lady dance! However, I always associate Taylor with colourful sunsets- the first time I saw her was in band photographs taken by another photographer for a school we were checking out before we moved across the country to Arizona. So I guess you could say that even before we were introduced I knew that Taylor was amazingly photogenic!! I am so honored to have been chosen for her ASU college graduation senior portraits! Have a fantastic final spring term Taylor and congratulations on your upcoming accolades!

I have know Michaela and her wonderful folks since we moved to Arizona and they welcomed us into their high school marching band family! Michaela is an accomplished musician and leader in her top-rated competitive performance band, and one simply cannot give enough thanks to her parents for all that they give to the heart and soul of all the kids, band directors, and staff. The phrase 'countless hours' gets thrown around a lot- in this case it is a lot more like 'countless months' I am a big fan of Michael's art, her sense of humor, and her adorable smile. The cutest nose wrinkle! She did an amazing job at her session, from styling to all the silly prompts I asked her to do :) SO honored and blessed that she and her folks chose me to be her senior photographer!

Our first location was a park &campground where Angela had some special memories! She actually was there to celebrate an elementary school field trip in the past as well as camping there before. It was a beautiful spot along the Old Hickory Lake in Mt Juliet, Tn with a sweet beach and gorgeous fall colour trees.

The only thing we did not find at the campground was a golden field- one of my favorite portrait locations for warm, glowy skin and bright, contrasty highlights. So we drove down the street a bit to a super glam spot- right behind a gas station! Some interesting details, haha, are just cropped out of frame. With a beauty like Angela however, all you see if her surrounded by soft buttery light.

Emily | Hendersonville Tn High School Senior Portraits | Anjeanette Photography Seniors Peoria Arizona

Aubreyel | Nashville Senior Portraits | Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography

The first thing you notice about Nashville Class of 2017 senior Aubreyel is her infectious, gorgeous smile. She is a smart, vivacious, and beauty with a strength that has pulled her through difficult times. I had a jaw ache from all the smiles and laughter after this fun session in Cumberland Park downtown! Aubreyel dedicated her session to her mom, who her sister and her recently lost to breast cancer. A tragedy like that would be difficult to endure to say the least especially in the flurry of activity that a senior year involves. This lady knows her mom is watching over her, and beams that love and warmth bright enough for her to see in heaven. Nothing embodies fight like a girl like refusing to let anything steal the joy of moms legacy!

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.

Fashion backdrop session | keeping studio sharp | Anjeanette Illustration Seniors

Goofy and fun loving as spontaneity journalistic natural light photography is-and I obviously adore it- I am also a long time fan of stylish, classic, painted backdrops and the elegance of famed photographers Lebowitz and Emily Soto. That's why I never can have just one type of lighting- I want em all! Natty and gritty to flash and poised, the more lighting styles one is comfortable with the more opportunities to play and get exactly the look you want. While my simple backdrops are certainly no Oliphants, I love creating them so I can learn more and playing with studio style strobe lighting at home! Thankfully my daughter indulged my Christmas vacation set up with her favorite outfits and her prized vintage marching band shako. Photographers kids y'all, enduring the well documented life to say the least!

Softbox, Calument 400 @ level 10, Sigma 85mm 1.4 at 2.5, 1/160, iso100. About 5 feet from backdrop?

Shutter drag! While I LOVE Photoshop as well as my 5DM3 in camera Double exposures- this ain't either of those. Check out Ben Sasso lighting tips for how to play with this technique!

Ah, so glad she still puts up with me!

Happy sweet sixteen to my favorite girl!

Downtown Nashville Musician Session | Delaney Class of 2017 | Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography

Loyal Motivated Optimistic

top Hendersonville Tn SENIOR photographer Anjeanette Illustration seniors photography Nashville Senior picture Hendersonville Tn

After high school 'Bama born beauty Delaney is headed to University of Alabama, to major in Music Education. In the meantime she stays more than busy musically having earned positions on a few different orchestras! The Nashville Youth Orchestra, a division of The Nashville Symphony, and The Williamson County Youth Orchestra both chose Delaney as a performer. Additionally she was in marching band and concert band at her school.  Recently, she was also awarded a spot on the All State Band! A National Beta Club member, Delaney is also a member of the Science Club. She spends any free time she finds after that hanging out with friends and at work. So honored to have taken Delaney's senior portraits!

Delaney is an active member of her high school marching band.

senior pictures Hendersonville Tn photo portraits Anjeanette Illustration Seniors Photography

Delaney had concerns that she wouldn't look like herself in her session- I mean it can def be awkward to have someone basically staring at you and posing you for over an hour! There is so much excitement about these photos that sometimes seniors also worry about what to wear, how to pose, even what location to pick for a senior portrait sessions.

That is why I feel its so important to tell a senior portrait photographer about your ideas, dreams and activities so they can tailor the session too! Don't feel too shy to ask about all of that, and share you concerns or passions. Not being afraid to think outside the box, and enjoy yourself! I am always excited to hear about creative ideas and plans- and to do everything I can to make them happen. Of course, no matter how much planning that takes place being flexible and keeping that excitement up is also important- the day of Delaney's session downtown Nashville threw us for a few loops with an unscheduled fair at the capitol, and then LSU's homecoming by Nisson Stadium! what followed was a 45 min race to keep the light around downtown searching for parking in the crowds!

We had some challenges, but we still ended up with fantastic photos! The outcome was fantastic. I was so EXCITED when I saw the sneak peek! ~ Delaney

So glad we were early, and allowed some cushion. Despite the urban chaos,, a beautiful soul makes for beautiful photos, and we had great helpers on Delaney's team - her mother and boyfriend- to capture the high school finale of a talented and passionate young lady!

Everything good comes from God. Every perfect gift is from him. These good gifts come down from the Father who made all the lights in the sky. But God never changes like the shadows from those lights. He is always the same. God decided to give us life through the true message he sent to us. He wanted us to be the most important of all that he created.
— James 1:17-18

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!

Ricky Class of 2017 | downtown Nashville Senior style setter | cumberland Park

top Hendersonville Tn SENIOR photographer Anjeanette Illustration seniors photography Nashville Senior picture Hendersonville Tn

Ricky is a v hip city senior, with an feed of intelligent instag tags like "the search for something more" and "The message is simple but it ain't easy". His easy going fun personality made portraits a blast at one of my favorite versatile spots Cumberland Park. We spent more time navigating the hectic Beyonce at Nissan Stadium parking situation than photographing because he was ready and attentive- and always GQ. Ricky's sister even helped photograph some BTS and Instagram portraits while we were out!

Enjoy this set!

Courtney's Future Farmer Senior Session | Private Farm Gallatin Tn | Nashville photographer Anjeanette Illustration seniors

top Hendersonville Tn SENIOR photographer Anjeanette Illustration seniors photography Nashville Senior picture Hendersonville Tn

I was excited to meet up a few weeks ago with dedicated and motivated Future Farmers of America student Courtney- class of 2017!

Courtney and her pup Leo were bubbling- like literally bubbly- and charming! Surrounded by her multiple years worth collection of FFA shirts and awards or gable, you could see how important her role as her chapters treasurer is. Courtney judges many local events at fairs and beyond, yet she is just as comfortable playing in the creek and posing with tractors, Courtney's beautiful blue eyes sure lit up the warm late summer afternoon!

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!
