Lata and Sujan’s Wedding Day July 25th 2020

Lenz Photography is proud to present newlyweds Lata and Sujan. The following is a tribute from the Lenz’s to the newlyweds Lata and Sujan: Lata has been a friend of the Lenz’s ever since we collectively met at Carson Newman College in 2011. However, Alexandra and Lata have known each other for over 17 years – dating all the way back to their days of playing clarinet at high school band camp. Lata has been a great friend over the years. We have shared countless laughs and wild adventures. Lata was even a huge part of our elopement in Washington D.C. back in 2016. Although we have had tons of fun, one thing that we have to credit Lata with is being one of the hardest workers whom we have the privilege of calling a friend. She is incredibly studious and holds herself to a high standard. As a matter of fact, Lata just recently received her Doctorate in Statistics from Virginia Tech. A little bit of backstory for insight; Lata and Sujan met in April of 2019. They quickly hit it off, and got engaged on October 12th. Now, it is popular in Indian culture to have an auspicious […]

41 Iconic Senior Photos of Grainger Grizzlies Pitcher Jace Maxey

Lenz Photography, LLC of Knoxville is proud to present Grainger County High School 2020 Senior Athlete, Jace Maxey. Jace pitched for the Grainger Grizzlies Baseball team and was All District for the Blue Ridge Athletic Conference last year and 2nd Team All State. In the Fall, Jace will attend Walters State Community College where he will pitch for the Senators Baseball Team. Jace's senior session was a blast. We enjoyed including the entire family in a few shots, as well as Jace's baseball coach, Jace's car and Jason's Jeep. Grainger High School has an awesome view, so it's always enjoyable to shoot sessions there from beginning to end. We even concluded Jace's portrait session by including the grizzly bear in front of the school.

35 Iconic Portraits of GCHS Senior Josie Stansberry

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville is proud to present Grainger County High School senior class of 2020, Josie Stansberry. We began by photographing Josie in her own back yard, just past the deceivingly realistic fake turkey. As a matter of fact, this is the second time we were able to photograph in this beautiful location since we previously photographed Josie's older sister, Allie, a few years ago. We knew the fall foliage was going to make for an amazing backdrop, but we also got more than we bargained for by climbing to the top of the hill for a more scenic view. After a short chocolate milk break, we made our way to Grainger County High School for some portraits around the school as well as our signature Iconic portraits on the football field in Josie's cheer attire. Josie's parents, Michelle and Jason, were able to be a big part of the session which brought us a few family portraits, plus ton of smiles and laughs! The Lenz' truly loved tagging along with the Stansberry family, and we appreciate the fun times creating portraits during this milestone event in Josie's life. Enjoy 35 Iconic Portraits of GCHS Senior Josie Stansberry.

Sunflower Mini Session with Jadyn & Jordyn

Summer is the season for sunflowers, and there's no better way to kick off our Sunflower Mini Sessions than by photographing sisters, Jadyn & Jordyn! Even though we had to fight the crowd and swim through the flooded fields, it was worth it in order to create some Iconic Portraits of these beautiful sisters. Also, we'd like to give a big shout out to Teara for being easy to work with and for choosing the perfect outfits and accessories that helped take the portraits to the next level!

Cora Wagoner Photography documenting the Lenz Family’s First Home in 18 Portraits

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville presents the amazing portrait work by Cora Wagoner of Cora Wagoner Photography. Cora is an amazing artist who we have followed for several years. As photographers, we have always been blown away by her creativity. Cora's portraits are fashionably outside the box. She is currently located in Rogersville, TN, and we're so glad that we were able to book her last minute. Back in May of 2018, the Lenzes were fortunate enough to purchase our first home. Obviously buying a home is a tedious process, but once we factored in moving our personal belongings AND relocating our business to our new home we knew it was going to take some hard work and elbow grease. By Fall of 2018, we at least had the place in order to document our first home through photographs. (Although 2 months later it already looks like a different place!) This session was our first time meeting Cora in person, and she didn't disappoint. Not only did we love the portraits that she created of our family, but she was a cool person that we'd love to hang out with outside of photography! Cora truly captured our personalities and documented a special moment in our lives that we will forever look back on with nothing but positive vibes. Without going into too much detail, less than 4 years ago we were struggling to pay rent on a 430 sq ft apartment with plenty of violent crime and roaches to go around. After that, we moved to Knoxville where we lived in our studio with a makeshift shower, no kitchen, and a bed in the closet. Now, we live and work out of our own home with a separate studio space in Knoxville, TN. We're truly thankful for the struggles and the experiences during those first few years of making the leap into full time self employment. It wasn't easy, but without those struggles we wouldn't be the people we are today. Thank you for documenting our journey through photography, Cora! These 18 Portraits are some of our personal favorites from the session!

62 Iconic Photos ft the Softball Playing Costello Sisters Lyonna, Laniya, & Lyric

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville presents the Costello Sisters, Lyonna, Laniya, & Lyric! As we were setting up a softball session for the Costello sisters, we learned that they were cousins of Keisha Griffin Monroe who just happened to being heading to Morristown from Clarksville for a family visit. Nobody can brings out their "Iconic side" in front of the camera better than Malachi and Tahj, so the fact that these three sisters were family to Keisha and the boys, we knew that Lyonna, Laniya, & Lyric were going to shine in the spotlight! And that they did! The 3 Costello sisters may have different personalities, but they all share the same sense of humor. They channeled their game faces for their portraits, but believe us when we say that it was all smiles and laughter between sets. In their own words, they're "gooerious." When we asked them what gooerious meant, it was a combination of goofy and serious. Needless to say, we haven't stopped laughing yet! This set features 62 Iconic Photos ft the Softball Playing Costello Sisters Lyonna, Laniya, & Lyric!

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!

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!

44 Iconic Senior Photos of Neven & Nathaniel from Morristown East

Lenz Photography LLC of Knoxville is a little late on this post, but better late than never! As many of you know, we have been in the process of completely moving our studio into our new location. Needless to say, the process has taken a little longer than expected. On the bright side, we couldn't ask for a better set of images for the first blog post in our new studio! Neven and Nathaniel are two twin brothers with different personalities, but they share one thing in common; They're both ICONIC! Neven started our session by ballin' out in Morristown East's gym, and Nathaniel finished off our set big with his Mustang on top of the parking garage. Congratulations on your graduation, Neven and Nathaniel! We had a blast photographing your senior portraits, and can't wait to shoot with you in the future - even if we did have to photoshop out a few curling-iron burns...
