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 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 […]
