Knoxville Botanical Senior Photos
I don’t shoot a ton of senior photos anymore. Mostly because there are a bunch of senior specific photographers out there that are killing it. Every now and then, however, I’ll get a senior in front of my camera and feel like I am 100 years old 😂 Jokes aside, I really love talking to graduating seniors. Their plans, their dreams, their goals. I love hearing what life is like for them right now. It’s crazy thinking about all that lies ahead of them and how exciting and fun the next chapter of their book is going to be. Most of the time, the seniors in front of my camera surprise me in the best way.
Ellie plays the cello. She’s really really good at it and brought it along with her as a prop in her senior photos. At the end of our session, I was chatting with her mom about Ellie going away to school. I asked if the excited emotion overtakes the sad to see your baby girl leave your house emotion. I will certainly being crying on this day with my babies. She was describing the balance of the two emotions when she said, “I know I’m going to miss that beautiful cello filling the silence in my home though.” So, I asked Ellie to play something while I photographed her. oh. my. word. It was so magical. I hear cellos and violins all the time at weddings, but it’s so fitting for that setting I don’t even think twice about it. This time was just the cello by itself though. No mics, no speakers, no other instruments. I immediately imagined myself in their home while Ellie practiced the cello and just sitting on their couch listening in complete peace and relaxation.
So, don’t mind me. I’ll just be hunting down cello lessons and used cellos for the kids as they grow up 😂
