21 Iconic Portraits ft. 12u Team Tennessee Softball, 2025

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 21 Iconic Portraits ft. 12u Team Tennessee Softball, 2025! The Experience It’s always a privilege to photograph the 12U Team Tennessee Softball athletes. These girls bring such great energy and spirit, especially on media day—they always show up ready to shine. Capturing their personalities and team pride is one of the highlights of our job. They truly make our work easy with their enthusiasm and teamwork. The Vision This season, we met Team Tennessee Softball at Bridgeport Elementary School in Newport for their media day. For the setup, we were indoors which helped with the unpredictability of the weather during the Sping season. Nonetheless, these ladies brought their athletic talents in full force to be showcased in front of the camera. Their white uniforms with baby blue pinstripes and orange accents look sleek. Of course, we had to incorporate their team colors into the background with our lighting setup. The Final Product We photographed a variety of poses from serious game-face portraits, to fun group shots with friends. Plus, we even captured a few action shots from throwing & tossing, to pitching & catching. A huge shout out […]

22 Iconic Portraits ft Washburn High School Pirates Softball, 2025

WHS Senior Banners Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 22 Iconic Portraits ft. Washburn High School Pirates Softball, 2025! The Experience We’re back at it again with the Washburn Lady Pirates Softball team! Just like the WHS Basketball team in the fall, this Spring marks the 7th consecutive season that we’ve been lucky enough to photograph the Lady Pirates Softball team. These ladies are always a blast to work with, and we’re proud to showcase their talent. The Vision This season, the Washburn Lady Pirates Softball Team sported a black uniform with red pinstripes. Using their uniforms as inspiration, we created their Senior Banners in Photoshop from scratch. The inspiration for the banner graphic was a “little planet” theme, where each player appears larger than life in front of a large, softball stadium lit up at night. We incorporated the red pinstripes and the American Flag in the background to tie in with their uniforms. The theme, the uniforms, the text & logos, along with the lighting on the athletes really sold the effect. Overall, we were very pleased with the results, and the printed banners looked incredible in person! The Final Product From […]

55 Iconic Portraits ft Alcoa High School Tornadoes Baseball, 2025

Alcoa High School Tornado Baseball, Class of 2025 Alcoa Baseball Senior Banners Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 55 Iconic Portraits of the 2025 Alcoa High School Tornadoes Baseball Team! The Experience The Alcoa Tornadoes Baseball team was an experience that we’ll never forget. We would say their photos will “blow you away”, but we’ll save the Tornado puns for a rainy day. Needless to say, we always like to celebrate first time achievements, and working with the Alcoa Baseball Team was a first that we’re excited to share! The Vision Last season, the Alcoa Baseball Team made their first appearance in the Tennessee State Tournament in 20 years. This year, the Tornadoes have high hopes of competing for that Tennessee State Title again. After meeting the players and getting a glimpse of the terrific team chemistry they possess, we can tell that this group of young men have an unbreakable bond on and off the field. After last seasons incredible run, the Alcoa Tornado Baseball field received a few upgrades, such as the “Tornadoes” text around home plate, and the “Home of Alcoa Tornado Baseball” banner lining the fence in left field. While […]

66 Iconic Portraits ft Claiborne High School Bulldogs Basketball & Volleyball

CHS Senior Athletes, Class of 2025 Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 66 Iconic Portraits of the 2024-2025 Caliborne High School Bulldogs Basketball and Volleyball! The Experience This marks our first time working with the Claiborne Bulldogs, and they put us to work on photo day! The athletes were excited to have their photos taken. They came with an abundance of ideas, and we incorporated as many of their poses as we could within the time limit. The Vision As always, our goal is to focus on the athletes, while showcasing the uniforms, logos, and the facilities in a good light. As we took center stage in the middle of the gymnasium, we had an amazing view of the Bulldog mural on the floor. Also, Claiborne High School has Bulldogs written on the wall above the bleachers. Moreover, their bleachers are designed to have the letters “CHS” visible across both sections. We thought that was a unique touch, so to add some interest to our composition, we gelled our back lights blue and hit the background with a pop of color. The Final Product The CHS Bulldogs Boys & Girls Basketball teams and the […]

63 Iconic Portraits ft Washburn High School Pirates Basketball and Cheerleading 2024-2025

WHS Senior Banners Behind the Scenes WHS Senior Athletes, Class of 2025 About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 63 Iconic Portraits of the 2024-2025 Washburn High School Pirates Basketball and Cheerleading! The Experience Lucky number 7! It’s always a great time photographing the Washburn High School athletes, and after the seventh year in a row, they’ve become professionals in front of the camera. Seven years ago, we were like the New Kids on the Block. Now, we’re more like the Auntie and Uncle that comes in to make photo day a blast! The Vision The Washburn athletes are always down to try something new. Each team session requires a different set of challenges. The challenge we chose to tackle this year was to showcase the athletes, uniforms, gym, and the Washburn Logos from a different perspective. After photographing a team for seven years in a row, you really have to push yourself as an artist to create something that is consistent, yet unique. And in this case, we opted to “slightly” change our composition from previous years. While still making use of the center of the gym, we composed the background at a 3/4 angle. This angle […]

66 Iconic Senior Portraits of Ava, Washburn High School, Class of 2025

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 66 Iconic Portraits ft Ava, Washburn High School, Class of 2025. The Experience Over the years, we have photographed Ava and her family on a few separate occasions. Ava’s sister, Emma, was actually the first Senior Session we photographed from Washburn High school. So, it’s only fitting that Ava is the last sister to graduate and her session will be the last Senior session of before the New Year! The Vision When brainstorming for the session, Ava thought that Melton Hill Park would be the perfect location. Ironically, we had just visited the park for the first time a few weeks prior. Ava wanted a location for her Senior Portraits that was different than the norm. Melton Hill Park ended up being a laid back spot by the water with nice scenery. Although it was a busy day, we still had plenty space to work with that was away from the crowd. The Final Product Ava’s Senior Session turned out simple, but elegant. We’ll be the first to tell you that Ava has a notoriously good game face. However, it’s nice to see her smiling big in her […]

47 Iconic Portraits ft 12u Bandits Baseball Player, Liam

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 47 Iconic Portraits ft Bandits Baseball Player, Liam. The Experience Liam’s Iconic Baseball Session, along with the 12u Bandits baseball team, was an awesome experience. It was a hot, clear summer day with beautiful blue skies. Maryville has a beautiful baseball field, which gave us plenty of angles to work with. The Bandits Baseball team is a travel team composed of athletes from the Blount County area. The cool thing about doing these photos on Maryville’s field is that Liam plans on playing baseball for Maryville High School in the future. The Vision Earlier in the year, we had the opportunity to photograph Liam’s older brother, Bryce. Bryce ran track for Maryville and graduated Class of 2024. For Liam’s session, we wanted to capture his personality and athletic abilities, but pull it off in a consistent style with Bryce’s portraits. Challenge accepted! The Final Product The contrast from the beginning to the end of Liam’s session is awesome. We had a good mix of serious moments mixed with laughter! The challenge of creating two unique yet consistent sessions for two brothers who both play two different sports was […]

34 Iconic Portraits ft Maryville High School Rebels Cheerleading, Class of 2025

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 34 Iconic Portraits ft. Maryville High School Rebels Cheerleading, Class of 2025! The Experience Earlier his summer, we were contacted to photograph creative portraits of the Senior Athletes who play for the Maryville High School Rebels Football Team. After an amazing session with the Senior Football Players, we were also contacted to work with the Maryville Rebels Senior Cheerleaders. The Vision The Maryville Rebels Senior Cheerleaders have a small squad with only 4 Seniors set to graduate as the Class of 2025. On average, we photograph teams as large as 20-30 athletes. Sometimes we even photograph multiple teams in one day. Needless to say, we were excited to photograph these 4 Maryville Cheerleaders, because time management wouldn’t be as much of an issue with a small group. The Final Product The Maryville Rebels Senior Cheerleaders brought their A game! Similar to the Maryville High School Football Portraits, we photographed these Senior Athletes on the field from evening into the night. Even though there was only 4 athletes, the portraits still took several hours to complete. The Maryville Rebels Senior Cheer Squad took several group shots as well as […]

50 Iconic Portraits ft Grainger County Softball Player, Macey, Class of 2025

Behind the scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 50 Iconic Portraits ft Grainger County Softball Player, Macey, Class of 2025. The Experience Grainger County athletes are putting in the work this year! Shout out to Macey – another Grainger Grizzly, Senior Class of 2025! Macey is a powerhouse behind the plate. She received All District for the Grainger Grizzlies Softball Team. Additionally, Macey plays for the Lady Velo travel team and attends the Marc Weekly hitting academy. The Vision Macey is a softball athlete with an emphasis on batting and catching. For her session, we began by photographing casual shots of Macey by some of the most iconic spots on the Grainger County High School campus. Macey chose a beautiful pink dress for her casual shots, and we thought it suited her perfectly. After capturing a few portraits around campus, it was time to move our equipment to the Softball field and switch into game mode. On the Grainger Grizzly Softball Field, Macey went through her full range of techniques from batting to catching. Of course, we had to showcase Macey’s many medals and accomplishments – one of our favorites being Macey’s huge MVP medallion necklace! […]

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 […]
