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! […]
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 […]
Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 24 Iconic Portraits ft. the 12u Bandits Baseball Team, 2024! The Experience A few weeks ago, we had a chance to photograph the 12u Bandits baseball team. It was a hot, clear summer day with beautiful blue skies. Despite the heat, the boys did great during their #Iconic team session. Everyone was excited, contributed good ideas, and committed to the poses. The Vision The Bandits started the session with their classic red and white pinstriped uniforms. The white uniforms with red accents complimented the blue, summer sky very well. These set of images in the white uniforms were more traditional sports poses. After the sun started to set and the sky darkened, the team wanted to change into their black and red uniforms while showing off their championship rings, medals, and hardware. These set of images were less traditional and more playful. The Final Product The contrast from the beginning to the end of the session is awesome, and we had an awesome time bringing these young athletes vision to life! We wish the 12u Bandits all the best for the remainder of their 2024 season. Thank you to all […]

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 […]
Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 45 Iconic Portraits ft. Maryville Rebels Track Athlete, Bryce Bohanan, Class of 2024! The Experience In recent years, we have only photographed a handful of Maryville High School athletes. We have worked with a football player, volleyball player, baseball player, and several basketball players. However, this was our first time photographing a track athlete from Maryville High School. Bryce started running in 2nd grade, and at 10 years old he placed 3rd in the males Triple Crown races in Blount County. He went to Junior Olympics in 2018, and is going to continue running in college! For perspective, the goal of running 1600 meters in 5 minutes is an exceptionally high standard of fitness and speed because achieving such a time requires determination, rigorous training, and conditioning. Bryce’s current times are 1:58 for the 800 and 4:30 for the 1600. The Vision Bryce is obviously a very accomplished runner with plenty of awards, trophies, and medals to show for it. We planned to meet up at Maryville High School, Bryce’s home field, to show off a few of his accomplishment thus far. As the sun was setting, we […]

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography is proud to present 37 Iconic Portraits of Faythe’s 21st Birthday! We have worked with Faythe and her family several times in the past. We’re basically like long, lost cousins at this point! A few weeks before her 21st birthday, Faythe had a vision for a photoshoot that she wanted to recreate. As soon as she sent us a few sample images, we ran with the idea and put our own creative twist to it! Faythe is a natural model in front of the camera, and her talent made it easy for us to focus on the technical details – such as the lighting and props – that took this studio session to the next level! We love each look from the solo pink stage, to the water reflections, all the way to the angel wings walking on water. Needless to say, this was a fun shoot to test our creativity and we loved every minute of it. Happy Birthday again, Faythe! Thanks for allowing us to bring your vision to life and be a part of your celebration! Faythe’s 21st Birthday Photoshoot About Lenz Photography Lenz Photography is a full-service photography […]

Behind the Scenes About the Session Lenz Photography of Knoxville is proud to present 48 Iconic Portraits of Kurstyn! Kurstyn is a Senior from Virginia with a love for cars. Her current plan after graduation is to attend trade school where she will work towards becoming a mechanic. Our collective love for cars is actually how we met Kurstyn’s family in the first place at the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Since then, we have had the chance to hang out and chat over dinner on a few occasions. During the process, we have become great friends! Kurstyn would’ve been easy to photograph, regardless, but it was even easier since she knew what to expect from us two goofy nerds! With a focus on Kurstyn’s love for cars, Elvis, and all things vintage, we could only think of this amazing location in Rogersville. We have photographed at this location once before, and we knew it would be perfect for an aspiring mechanic. Kurstyn’s family made the trip from Virginia, and we had a blast exploring all the cool things this property had to offer – From the old cars, to trains, and even a ferris wheel! We had an absolute blast […]

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 […]
