27 Iconic Photos of the Victory Brothers sporting Gladiator Football

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville presents Gladiator football players Matthew & Andrew Victory. If you thought Lenz was a cool last name for photographers, Matthew & Andrew may have upstaged us by being athletes with the last name Victory. It truly doesn't get any better than that! These two brothers were focused during their studio session, and we know that attitude directly reflects how focused they are when they're on the field. From the portraits of the brothers as a duo to their individual portraits, Matthew & Andrew brought the sauce! When it comes to being Iconic, the Victory brothers are undoubtedly victorious. This set features 27 Iconic Photos of the Victory Brothers sporting Gladiator Football!

36 Iconic Senior Portraits of Garrett Gribble from Maryville High School

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville brings you jiu jitsu athlete and Class of 2019 Senior, Garrett Gribble, of Maryville High School! We have personally known and trained jiu jitsu with Garrett for over a year and a half. However, Garrett has been training for almost 10 years! If you can't tell from all the gold hardware, Garrett has competed in dozens of jiu jitsu tournaments since his childhood. As a matter of fact, the gold medal you see in front (photographed above) is one of Garrett's proudest accomplishment. Garrett earned that particular gold medal by locking up a guillotine submission in the first 15 seconds of a match! Not only did we create amazing jiu jitsu portraits of Garrett, but we were also able to photograph a few casual portraits of Garrett at a Maryville park that is sentimental to the family. Garrett's mom, Darlene, has taken Garrett on walks at Sandy Springs Park since he was in a stroller! Moreover, Garrett's grandfather worked for the park for 18 years and even planted the tree in the first few portraits. Now, we won't embarrass Garret by telling the "trolls under the bridge" story, or how he used to "count the light poles" from his stroller, but the list of reasons why Sandy Springs Park is sentimental to the family goes on and on! A big thanks goes to Maryville Jiu Jitsu for allowing us to shoot at their gym between classes. And also, a big shout out goes to "Baby Joe", Joesph Watson, for letting Garrett man handle him during the shoot! This set features 36 Iconic Senior Portraits of Garrett Gribble from Maryville High School!

48 Iconic Senior Portraits of Mikala Livesay of Morristown West

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville brings you our first Class of 2019 Senior, Mikala Livesay, of Morristown Hamblen High School West! Over the years, we have worked with Mikala and her brother C.J. creating many Iconic portraits along the way. For these portraits, Mikala was riding solo, but we don't think she minded being the star of the show. Thankfully, Julie came along to assist during the session which really helped nail the small details. After all, the more Livesays the better! As with anyone we've previously photographed, we strive to top the last portrait session. And what better way of going above-and-beyond than to photograph the session at a secret garden we discovered? We began by photographing casual shots of Mikala in various locations around the gardens and concluded with the trademark "Iconic Sports Portraits" in her Morristown West Cheerleading uniform. We think it's safe to say that these portraits of Mikala are the best to date! But don't our word for it. See for yourself! This set features 48 Iconic Senior Portraits of Mikala Livesay of Morristown West!

38 Iconic Fitness and Nutrition Photos of Dawn Huggins Smith

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville is proud to bring you a set of photos straight from the farms of Athens, TN! You've heard the phrase farm-to-table, but these portraits are farm-to-computer-screen. Either way, I think we discovered the organic way to be Iconic. We truly cannot say enough about Dawn. Not only was her portrait session amazing, but the hard work and dedication that she puts into her gardening also translates well into her fitness regimen. Dawn and her husband, Cary, have amazing landscaping, so we had no shortage of locations for environmental portraits. But that's not all! Their home gym was also equally impressive, as you would expect from a family that loves to work out and stay fit. We learned so much about plants and fitness just in the few hours that we hung out it was insane! Thanks again, Dawn and Cary, for opening up your amazing home to us and treating us like life long friends from the get go! We truly felt the southern hospitality from hanging out and sipping red wine after the shoot to the bag of veggies, fertilizer, neem oil, and plant that you sent us home with! Hopefully we cross paths again in the near future! If you're into fitness and nutrition, meal & training plans, or just want to check out all of Dawn's other amazing photos, follow her on Instagram @DawnHugginsSmith This set features 38 Iconic Fitness and Nutrition Photos of Dawn Huggins Smith!

28 Iconic Maternity Photos of Chelsea & Adam Davis

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville is proud to bring you a maternity session featuring two of our best friends in the whole entire world, Chelsea & Adam Davis! Chelsea & Adam have been together for over a decade, and we truly think they are one of the greatest couples with a relationship that most spend an entire lifetime trying to find. We're not only glad to call the Davis' our friends, but we're glad that they always let us photograph their family portraits! In the past, we've shot several portrait sessions of Chelsea & Adam including sessions with Chelsea's sister, Angelica, and her husband, Allan. Those sessions have always been some of our favorites! Now, we've moved on to maternity and (soon) newborn portraits! Documenting all of the different stages of life through photographs is fun, however, when it's with friends it's absolutely a blast! From the Lenz's with love, we'd like to congratulate Chelsea & Adam on this new stage of life they're entering together. We can't wait to meet (and photograph) baby Scarlett EllaMae!

34 Iconic Photos of Katharyn and Dustin Chandler Wedding

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville brings you something a little different this time. Katharyn is my second oldest sister, and on April 7th, she and Dustin got married! Katharyn and I were close growing up. So close that at times, I even called her mom. I've seen her go through a lot of challenges growing up, but she always pushed through and made sure to keep a good sense of humor along the way. Katie's laugh and smile is radiant, so we had to highlight some of our favorite images in more than just the slideshow. One of the biggest challenges I have seen Katie overcome with pure strength, faith, and with good direction is when she became pregnant with my niece her senior year of high school. Katie had Harley a month before graduating, but I feel that she used that for even more motivation. She went to Walters State, and then she later graduated with her Bachelors degree from Carson Newman. Katie is a great mom, and I know she'll be a great one to her second child that will be making his or her debut at the end of this year! Photographing Katie & Dustin's wedding was fun and easy. The day was actually a little chilly, but because it was raining on and off, we were blessed with some nice, soft lighting. Our goal was to make them laugh and smile as much as possible, but we didn't have to try hard. These two had that look in their eyes, and you can just see the genuine love shining through. We wish these two many years together. They truly are a great match for one another, and you get nothing but good vibes from the Chandlers. We love you all! And Katie, I'm so happy that you are truly happy in life! Make sure to watch the slideshow which highlights their wedding from beginning to end! This set features 34 Iconic Photos of Katharyn and Dustin Chandler Wedding!
