48 Iconic Portraits of Kurstyn the Mechanic, Class of 2024
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!

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 […]
