57 Iconic Portraits ft Maryville High School Rebels Football, Class of 2025

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 […]

51 Iconic Portraits ft Grainger County Softball & Volleyball Player, McKenna, Class of 2025

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 51 Iconic Portraits ft Grainger County Softball & Volleyball Player, McKenna, Class of 2025. The Experience Grainger County always gets a shout out anytime we work with one of their student athletes, so shout out to our first Grainger Grizzly Senior Class of 2025! McKenna is an athlete with talent on and off the field. She received All Tournament her Sophomore and Junior years. Additionally, McKenna received All District Honors as a Junior. She is also a member of the BETA Club, an officer for FCCLA, and is active in her church youth group. A few years ago, we photographed softball portraits of McKenna for her travel team. In our experience, she’s also been laidback, with a positive attitude. However, she also knows how to up the intensity when it’s game time. The Vision McKenna is a multi-sport athlete with an emphasis on softball. For her session, we decided to start photographing inside the Grainger Grizzlies Gym, showcasing McKennas volleyball technique on her home court. We particularly enjoyed showcasing McKenna’s letterman jacket, as well as the painted Grizzly mural. After a good warmup on the volleyball court, the […]

34 Iconic Portraits ft Norris Middle School Lady Senators Softball Team 2024

Behind The Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 34 Iconic Portraits ft. the Norris Middle School Lady Senators Softball Team. The Experience This was our first time working with any sports team from Norris and the Middle School Lady Senators Softball Team set the bar high! These ladies were fun to work with during their photography session. All the athletes seemed to be in good spirits and took direction well. The Vision Recently, we’ve been photographing sports team with an emphasis on clean, epic studio lighting while showcasing the team’s color scheme. NMS Lady Senators Softball Team uniforms are White with Red pinstripes paired with Red pants. The Lady Senators also have a secondary color of Blue, so we chose to add a touch of Blue to the backdrop to add some contrast and a pop of color. The Final Product All in all, we are very happy with results from our first ever Norris Sports Team! The Lady Senators look very clean, focused, and professional! Good luck on the rest of your season, Norris Middle School Softball Team! Thank you to all the parents, coaches, and athletes that made this session a success! We appreciate […]

Behind The Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 90 Iconic Portraits of the 2023-2024 Washburn Middle and Elementary School Pirates Basketball, Cheerleading, Cross Country, & Dance Teams! The Experience In addition to Washburn High School Athletics, it has been a great experience working with the athletes at Washburn Middle & Elementary School for the 2nd Season. The Washburn community always makes us feel like family which gives us a strong connection with the school and its teams. Washburn School is like our home team, and we’re always proud of their accomplishments. The Vision One thing that we’d like to point out in this set, from an artistic standpoint, is how happy we are with the lighting of these portraits. If there are any fans of the photographer Joey L, we took inspiration from his portrait of Eric Mcnally of the band Foxy Shazam. By using a similar lighting configuration combined with the signature Washburn Red, we snapped away capturing the athletes in action! As photographers, we are passionate about our work and we take pride in the quality of our photos. In addition to showcasing the facilities, we strive to do something unique every year while […]
