Battle Ground Academy senior Laura Abbott blew us away during her senior portrait session with her fierce poses and fabulous style! Downtown Franklin was the perfect location to photograph this green eyed beauty with all it’s cozy corners! Just look at this gorgeous gal!

When she’s not killing it in front of the camera, Laura loves to sing and to act! It’s not surprising that she thrives on film with hobbies like that! On her off time, one of Laura’s favorite spots is Pure Barre for a good workout. Her hair and makeup looked absolutely gorgeous as the style completely complemented and accentuated her natural beauty.

We just can’t get enough of this sweet Southern belle- her outer and inner beauty is so captivating! Her beauty is classic + timeless, like past Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn.

“The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”

— Audrey Hepburn

Congratulations on your senior year, Laura!! She was such an incredible Battle Ground Academy senior class president. We can’t wait to see the glorious things you’ll do!

You would think that living in a Beach city, one would go to the beach all the time. However, I was completely wrong and it’s all about proximity. While I am relatively close to the beach from American standards and transportation, in Europe things such as city transportation take longer. 

Nonetheless I got put out and finally had the chance to snap some images of the gorgeous sun & Mediterranean Sea.  

Looking across the Mediterranean Sea feels different than looking at an ocean. When I stare across I can imagine the excitement of citizens who traveled and ended up in a paradise called Italy. 

We went to Brunch and Cake by the Sea. Super lovely! 

This was my first beet root lattes and it was certainly not my last. Beautiful floral designs welcomed guests into this lovely restaurant. 

Be warned, if you do go to the beach in Barceloneta or any of the beaches close to the Old Gothic Quarter you should be vigilant and prepared to prevent pick-pocketing by bringing very few pieces or wearing a wallet protector right on your body.

Hayden Kelly, you are a stunner!! Wow, we had SO much fun!!!

When Hayden smiles, she sure lights up a room! Isn't that smile contagious!? 

Hayden's shoot was SO much fun the perfect mix of natural with golden sunlight shooting through the trees at illuminating her gorgeous hair to a more urban industrial look on Clinton Street. We had originally tossed around about the idea of doing them over fall break on the beach in Florida. Obviously, it's not the same but this was the perfect location to capture her personality & style. Maybe next time on the beach pics though ;) 

Aren't her outfits just ADORABLE!? A mix of soft classic + trendy causal... the perfect combo! 

No big deal, Hayden just walking the streets of Nashville like a BOSS. 

100% yes to the glitter!!! Marathon Music Works on Clinton Street was the perfect spot to get the retro urban look we were going for. :) 

Okay, Hayden... maybe you should think about a career in modeling and fashion!? 

I've got to say, Hayden's mom Mary was absolutely incredible!!! She had the entire trunk set up like a portable wardrobe + brought props of our dreams. So prepared and all the hard work totally paid of in these lovely pics!! 

Take a look at these fantastic retro shades ;) 

When Hayden isn't working it as a model, she also happens to be a Centennial High basketball star! :) 

One of my favorite shots ever... golden glitter glory! Funny story, the Emily Anne Senior video has Hayden featured with her blowing glitter. The day we set for Hayden's veiwing/ordering session, I happened to run into her before at CVS and she was covered in glitter- I get to their house later that evening & she's COVERED in what... GLITTER!! I hereby have named her "Glitter Girl." :) 

In all seriousness though, Hayden is truly a remarkable girl. I am so excited to see what she is going to do an accomplish in her lifetime. This is only the beginning!! 

Congratulations, Hayden!!! :) 

WOW. This beautiful young lady is INCREDIBLY talented!! Actress, dancer, model... what does Brittany NOT do?! This session was absolutely breathtaking! 

WATCH RIGHT HERE BELOW HER GORGEOUS MOVING PICTURE IN HIGH DEFINITION!!!! I get chills every time I start watching her dance to the music.  

Wow, just wow... am I right!? Absolutely love this in air action shots of her in the streets of Downtown Franklin! 

I'm really so happy with how the outfits turned out, mix of classic rich & soft blues blues, skirts, black dress & the sunglasses are the perfect touch. 

Brittany does want to pursue some sort of career in the arts. I am confident, whether it is acting, singing, dancing, modeling she will do absolutely incredible!! 

Here blue eyes against the soft greens <3 <3 <3 

Brittany's smile could light up an entire room. In this moment she was looking at her dad who made her laugh throughout the whole shoot... so precious!! 

If you need a talented model or dancer for your next gig... Brittany is your gal!! 

Anyone else a sucker for the absolute classics like Anne of Green Gables? Well, this shot of Brittany in the blue with the sun kissing her from behind and this lovely hat completely reminds me of a modern day Anne! I have a special place in my heart for Anne of Green Gables especially because it's part of my name and I do now say her infamous line, "It's Anne with an E." 

SOO beautiful Brittany!!! 

“Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than you are your comfort zone. ”

— George Shaw

I love this quote because it inspires us to keep moving forward and pushing past the hesitations and uncertainties of the future. Brittany, I am SO excited to see how your future unfolds as you embark on this new chapter of life & pursue your passions and discover more about who you were created to be. I look forward to seeing the next steps you take!! 

Having a bad day? Take one look at this radiant Indian princess and may your mind be put to ease. The gorgeous golden summer sunset with roses in the background and beautiful hair and makeup by One10Beauty. 

Just take a look at that gorgeous hair and makeup!? And her perfect skin tone. :) 

She was most certainly a joyful bride and so fun to capture!! Check out her full wedding photography HERE. 

Tianna is one of the most authentic, delightful people to be around. Just an honor to be able to photograph Ms. Fisk University commemorating such a joyous occasion. 

"The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today. "

- Jackson Brown Jr. 

She's just so stylish we just laughed the whole time and had a blast!! 

This lovely lady is a Fisk University graduate and is SUCH a doll. She graduated with a Bachelors in Businessand how she juggled rigorous academics with pageants, shows, and banquets, I have no idea!!

These girls were the absolute sweetest! Best friend sessions are honestly some my absolute favorites too! :) 

These three girls grew up together, and even though they went to separate high schools Christ Presbyterian Academy, Independence High School, and Battle Ground Academy, they decided they wanted to celebrate their last year together with a joint portrait session! 

Needless to say, they were so much fun. :)
