Nashville wedding photographer and senior portrait photographer Emily Anne's Photo Art (photographic services) captures and documents the beautiful images she takes along with writing. Only the BEST will do!
Bennett's session was an absolute blast! This Class of 2017 Brentwood High School graduate has a bright future ahead of him!
Bennett just recently received his Eagle Scout award. Not only is brilliant but he is also persistent and dedicated having pursued this achievement!
What a delight it was capturing Ms. Emily Suttle's senior portraits. She is truly radiant inside and out. So proud of her accomplishment in achieving the status of Ms. Teen Tennessee USA.
To me, senior portraits are so much more than a few pictures before graduation. Senior portraits are about capturing the beauty and essence of each person, and reminiscing on the beautiful accomplishments as well as the exciting possibilities the future holds.
Mary Kay the founder of Mary Kay cosmetics once stated it beautifully, "When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. the choice is yours and yours along. Refuse to throw in the towel." That is exactly what Emily chooses to do. She did not give up in anyway on pursuing her dreams and accomplishments and is watching the future unfold for her. I can hardly wait to see what Emily has yet to accomplish!
Sarah was a delight to work with! Her serene yet bright personality puts you at ease immediately. I had a blast shooting this Artist Musician Portrait shoot for Nashville Singer and guitarist, Sarah Pearl.
AH, I love this one! The sun illuminates her gorgeous dark hair from the back, casting a golden halo of light around her.
You should absolutely check out this amazing Nashville musician's music which is soon to be released or go hear her perform live at a concert or maybe on Broadway. One of my favorite moments during the shoot was when I asked her if she could play something or pretend to play so I could get a shot. Immediately she breaks out into this incredible instrumental electric guitar solo and acts as if it was second nature and could do it in her sleep!! Talk about talent. :)
Would you look at this headshot of Sarah.... isn't she absolutely gorgeous!! What a natural beauty.
Would you just take a look at that electric red guitar!? I'm in love. Hello new album cover?? :)
Shot in Brentwood, TN at the perfect secluded park Marcella Vivrette Park.
One look at those mountains and I knew I was destined to reach the peaks. Not just literally, although I do hope to one day climb a mountain, but figuratively. 5 years ago today, I embarked on one of the most exciting yet daunting adventures: becoming a business woman and photographer.
Capturing the beauty in others behind the lens, has always been one of those things that makes my heart flutter. As my clients know, I get just as excited if not even more thrilled about creating their dream images. Having the privilege of creating art, showing clients what I see behind the camera and watching their reactions are a few of the things that make my job absolutely priceless.
However, the business and career of photography has not always been glamorous. To give you a glimpse, there are days I have come home crying about not being able to please everyone or have become way too stressed out comparing myself to other more "successful" business people in this field of expertise.
One of the many things I have learned along the way is to: NEVER give up on your dreams. No matter how hard, no matter how painful it is at the moment, I promise, "this too shall pass." Whatever you are doing, keep pressing on and climbing higher, because the higher you go the more perspective you gain, the more ground you cover, and the stronger you become. The view is ALWAYS worth it from the peak.
As Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I am truly thankful for every person along the way who has encouraged me in my journey along the way. I am by no means at the top of my mountain, but I am headed in the right direction. I truly couldn't do it without your love and support!! And without my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who has guided me every step of the way.
Wherever you are along your journey, keep pursuing your dreams no matter what other people say. Do that special something that makes your heart skip a beat. ❤️
Now, sappy post ends here.😝I hope it inspired you to keep moving forward!
