Ashlyn is a senior at Hardin Valley Academy. She is as beautiful on the inside as much as she is on the inside!

She enjoys dancing competitively, and can I just say, she is incredible at it! I recently saw one of her friends post a video from her dance studio that she choreographed! She has so much grace and poise and completely rocked her senior photos!

When I met Ashlyn and her grandmother for her planning consult, we immediately clicked! Both of them have the sweetest personality and her grandmother and I knew a lot of the same people through teaching! Knoxville gets smaller and smaller when you find out you know the same people.

We began Ashlyn's session in downtown Knoxville for more of an urban vibe. I love taking my seniors down to West Jackson because I feel like it has the perfect little spots that you can go to to get a variety of looks for that downtown feel. I loved that Ashlyn brought not just her grandmother but also her best friend, Kelci! Which was absolutely perfect because we got some amazing shots of Ashlyn's genuine laugh due to Kelci's help!

When thinking about who to bring with you to your session, I always suggest bringing people that will hype you up and make you feel nothing but beautiful! It definitely helps having people that love you so much and care about you there to be apart of this special experience with you, you can also squeeze in a bestie photo together! Check out their photo below!

After downtown, we headed to one of my favorite venues Maple Grove Estate. Ashlyn's beautiful plum colored dress looked amazing against the white Maple Grove house. As we were walking around the garden area, we noticed a perfect fall free with yellow leaves. We knew we had to take some photos there and they did not disappoint! Probably some of my favorites from Ashlyn's session! Of course we had to go to the iconic spots at Maple Grove, like the long dreamy driveway and the fun swing!

Ashlyn, your session was an absolute dream and I am so honored that I got to capture this huge moment in your life! You are going to do great and big things girl!
