West Harpeth Christian Graduate Lydia's Breathtaking Senior Portraits at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, TN (Copy)

We had an absolute blast doing Lydia’s Senior Portraits at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin,TN. Wow doesn’t she look absolutely stunning like out of a magazine. Her hair and makeup is flawless.

Lydia has been homeschooled and goes to a tutorial at West Christian Harpeth and will graduate as a senior this upcoming year. Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin TN about 20 mins south of Nashville was the perfection location for this shoot!

Wow, Lydia, you are an absolute natural and crushed absolutely every pose.

Tip for our seniors, a bouquet of fresh flowers is the perfect prop to freshen up the shoot.

Wow would you look at how gorgeous these florals turned out!? just the perfect pop of color & prop to brighten this shoot. These flowers were from the Brentwood Floral Shop.

Congratulations Lydia and we’re so excited for your beautiful future!

Hillsboro High School Graduate Laila's Classy Urban Senior Portraits in 12th South Sevier Park

Wow what a fun shoot we had in the middle of fall at Sevier Park in 12th south in Nashville, Tennessee. Right before it started to get a tad chilly around here.

Look at how radiant she is with the sunlight just beaming behind her!

Ah and the iconic flower mural - honestly one of the best murals in Nashville is located right in 12th south across the street from Burger Up my favorite burger joints in all of Nashville. It’s also behind this delicious Lebanese restaurant called Epice - definitely worth checking out.

As far as wardrobe styling went, we stayed away from darker colors such as black and navy to really make her pop and glow in this beautiful sunlight. She’s so classy!

Absolutely love this jean jacket look for such an urban shoot. Really captures the 12th south vibes!

She carries such sweet pure innocence in her eyes, truly a beautiful soul.

Wow, Laila you truly shine!! Look at that glorious smile. We had the privilege of being her photographers and capturing her beauty! After she graduates high school she plans to go on and major in criminal psychology. You will do amazing at that, Laila. We had so much fun with you!

When she’s not killing it in front of the camera, Laura loves to sing and to act! It’s not surprising that she thrives on film with hobbies like that! On her off time, one of Laura’s favorite spots is Pure Barre for a good workout. Her hair and makeup looked absolutely gorgeous as the style completely complemented and accentuated her natural beauty.

Hayden's shoot was SO much fun the perfect mix of natural with golden sunlight shooting through the trees at illuminating her gorgeous hair to a more urban industrial look on Clinton Street. We had originally tossed around about the idea of doing them over fall break on the beach in Florida. Obviously, it's not the same but this was the perfect location to capture her personality & style. Maybe next time on the beach pics though ;)

One of my favorite shots ever... golden glitter glory! Funny story, the Emily Anne Senior video has Hayden featured with her blowing glitter. The day we set for Hayden's veiwing/ordering session, I happened to run into her before at CVS and she was covered in glitter- I get to their house later that evening & she's COVERED in what... GLITTER!! I hereby have named her "Glitter Girl." :)

In all seriousness though, Hayden is truly a remarkable girl. I am so excited to see what she is going to do an accomplish in her lifetime. This is only the beginning!!
