Behind the Scenes

About the Session

Lenz Photography is proud to present 57 Iconic Portraits ft. the Maryville High School Rebels Football, Class of 2025!

The Experience

This summer, we were contacted to photograph creative portraits of the Senior Athletes who play for the Maryville High School Rebels Football team. The portraits from this session took a ton of work to create, but we enjoyed solving the challenges that it took to showcase these talented athletes at their home stadium under the best lighting possible!

The Vision

Growing up in East Tennessee, you can’t escape the lore of “Maryville Football”. After all, the Rebels are 17x State Champions and 37x Region Champions. Needless to say, they have an impressive football program. Not even trying to glaze!

As people who take a great amount of pride in our work, it was important for us to give these athletes credit where credit was due in their pre-session speech. And although we hyped them up to take their portraits, the team was notably a group of humble, young men. The Maryville Rebels Senior Football players were all easy to work with, and many of them brought their own ideas and poses.

The Final Product

We photographed these Senior Athletes on the field from evening into the night. The portraits took several hours to complete, but that just means the session had great contrast from beginning to end.

The team portrait portion of the session was simple and straightforward. The uniformity of the group pose illustrates good team chemistry and discipline.

After capturing the group shot, we remained in the center of the Iconic Shields Stadium, showcasing each player in their Maryville Rebels uniform.

During the individual portraits, we set out to accomplish 2 goals. We not only wanted to have each player pose in a manner that showcased their talent and hard work, but it was equally as important for us to give each player the opportunity to showcase their individuality and creativity. The Maryville Rebels Senior Football Squad did not disappoint!

We are very proud of this session, and we’re honored to be contacted to photograph the Maryville Rebels Football Seniors.

Thank you to all the parents, teachers, coaches, and players for your help at making the Maryville High School Rebels Football Iconic Team Session a success! Go Rebels!
