Hi, I’m Marshall

YOUR GO-TO CHATTANOOGA SENIOR PHOTO AND SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m not here to just take your picture. I’m here to tell your story.

I know stepping in front of the camera can feel awkward, so it’s my job to make it easy, fun, and totally stress-free.

Whether you’re an athlete, performer, musician, or just finally owning “your thing,” I focus on capturing your personality, energy, and the passion behind everything you do in bold, magazine-worthy photos.

Every one of my photo sessions is thoughtfully planned from location and wardrobe to posing and direction so we can capture who you are, not just how you look.

All you have to do is show up and be yourself. 

You’ll probably even leave thinking, “Man, that was a lot of fun!”

Mary, senior Parent

Marshall is a miracle worker. He’s so relaxed and his disposition makes it really easy to have him around. The photos turned out to be the best we’ve ever had of him and we will treasure them forever. I highly recommend Marshall."


"Our 18-year-old son begrudgingly went to his senior photo session and ended up saying ‘It wasn’t that bad!

Betsy, Senior Parent and Basketball Booster President

He worked so well with all our athletes!

If they had an idea for a pose they wanted to try, Marshall delivered. He helped pull out their personalities and made it really fun for them. The process for ordering prints was so easy and streamlined: all done online! I even booked him to do my son's senior portraits!"

"I’m so pleased with Marshall’s professionalism and quality of work. I would HIGHLY recommend him to any  team!

FAQs

About Working With Chattanooga Senior Portrait Photographer Marshall Stephens

I'M WORRIED MY TEEN WILL FEEL AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. CAN YOU HELP WITH THAT? +

Absolutely. One of my favorite parts of the job is helping people relax and feel like themselves. I don’t just tell you to smile and hope it works out. I guide the whole experience so the photos feel natural and authentic.

WHAT IF MY SENIOR OR ATHLETE DOESN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT THEIR SESSION TO LOOK LIKE? +

That’s totally normal. Most seniors don’t come in with a perfectly polished vision, and they don’t need to. I’ll help brainstorm ideas, whether that’s locations, outfits, or ways to highlight their interests before the shoot so they show up excited and ready to go.

DO WE HAVE TO STICK TO SPORTS OR BIG ACTIVITIES TO MAKE SENIOR PHOTOS MEANINGFUL? +

Not at all. Sports are awesome, but so are making memories with friends, hanging out at your favorite place, or even repping a favorite TV show. The goal is to capture what matters most to your student right now, big or small.

HOW INVOLVED SHOULD PARENTS BE DURING THE SESSION? +

Parents are always welcome to be part of the experience. Some like to step back and let their senior or athlete take the lead while others enjoy tagging along. Either way, I’ll make sure your student feels celebrated while giving parents peace of mind that everything is handled.

HOW SOON WILL WE GET THE PHOTOS? +

You’ll get your professionally edited images fast, delivered in a private online gallery ready for sharing, posting, or printing.

WHAT IF MY CHILD'S SCHEDULE IS PACKED? +

I get it. Between school, practices, and games, time is limited. I’m flexible and used to working around busy schedules. We’ll find a time that works and make the process smooth and stress-free.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE PHOTO EXPERIENCE FEEL PERSONAL? +

I take the time to actually get to know each student/athlete, their interests, their vibe, and what excites them. Every session is unique because every student is unique. My goal is for your child to walk away not just with photos, but with an experience they’ll remember.

HOW SOON WILL WE GT THE PHOTOS? +

You’ll get your professionally edited images fast, delivered in a private online gallery ready for sharing, posting, or printing.
