/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!
I adore this post by Digital Photography school on why photography matters! Thanks for all the inspiration DPS and Declan O'Neill!

Senior Portraits? Follow me on Pinterest! | Hendersonville, Tn Senior Pictures by Anjeanette Illustration Photography
/Hey class of 2016 & 2017-if your browsing for the perfect poses and environments on Pinterest for your senior pictures do not forget to check out my Anjeanette Illustration Senior Photography board! Each of the seniors on my board are my real clients. They just look like professional models! Each of them are amazing intelligent humans from real life, with the ambition and dreams to prove it. We worked together planning the perfect indoor and or outdoor environments that speak about who each individual is, their hopes for the future, goals and paths they were embarking on as they completed high school and entered more independent life.
Now, we have all heard the condescending statement “when you get in the real world” as if the life you are actually living right now is somehow less important. Who you are now heavily shapes your first few years after high school, and while so many changes are to come documenting and remember your experiences in school is important. Now COUNTS. This is real life-like I always say Memories are for a lifetime and not just a news feed. Of course you will want to share you images-so will I! So I will be sharing with publishers, and across my Instagram and social media. I just want to stress though that it is just important to preserve the images physical via prints or albums that will carry on long after technology has changed-ain’t nobody passing down usb drives and cds in 20 years. Don’t believe me? How many times have you used a floppy disc or Jaz drives? My senior photos are saved on a less than 1 gigabyte Jaz drive. Hilarious, they must be half the size of a postage stamp??? And we didn’t have internet in those day. Carved in stone and everything. I am so thankful for the real photographic prints my parents had made!
Your senior pictures are portraits that should capture who you are right now in real life, treasure to keep and look back on for your families as well as yourself as you grow even more into the amazing people you already are. And heck isn’t it just fun to dress up however YOU want and play? No matchy matchy with your big or little siblings this time. It's all about you- and your kinda big deal :) This is a session full of fun and expression and you are calling the shots- literally! Expressing yourself and being the sole focus of a session is empowering! Anjeanette Illustration Seniors plan their multiple outfits and together we discuss incorporating your distinct personality into your session. All the images will be lovely, and plenty of favorites for parents. Additionally, there will be dramatic and stunning landscapes and portraits that showcase all that you are and hope to be. Classic background studio portraiture is available as well- with rich detail and beautifully lighting patterns. Modern and minimal- yet so much more than just the same exact cookie cutter wall every other fellow student from school is leaning against. They are even affordable- check out the simple cost right here on my Seniors investment page.
Finding the right senior photographer is a very individual choice, because you want that person to understand your vision for your session- what will become the portraits hanging at your banquets and graduation parties, and in the hallways of your childhood homes! And I may not be the perfect photographer for you. Honesty! Of course I want to be chosen to bring your session dreams to life, but if I am ok with not being the perfect fit for everyone as I want everyone to get what they want. I am a wee bit weird in that way maybe, which is definitely something about me you should know if we do work together. Remember to check out the portfolios of senior photographers and see the images they consistently make for other...you should see their work and say "YES! This is what I want!" with excitement! That is such a key to a fantastic successful senior session- and our area is so blessed with a variety of amazing photographers with unique styles, so any senior in the Hendersonville, Tn and Nashville, Tn area has the perfect opportunity to find exactly what they want.
So, what do you want to ‘say’ about yourself? What are your favorite activities? Many schools happily allow sessions on campus with uniforms if there are music, drama, art, or athletic activities you enjoy. Libraries are fantastic spots for unique photos. Bring your furry best friend! Bring your books, instruments, and ideas! Is there a special area in town you like to hang out at? Do you daydream of vibrant lush fields fashion, dense mysterious woods, heroic sports posters, or gothic romanticisim? Do you have an epic artistic scene in mind, or a grungy urban album cover when you imagine your photos? Do not hold back- let’s make some magic. As clean and simple, or striking and interesting as you are and can imagine we can create together!
Some past clients have said some very kind words about our work together, check them out if you have a moment:
