You’ll get a custom senior photo planning guide packed with tips, tricks, and insider advice so you arrive ready, confident, and excited for your shoot. From wardrobe to props, every part of your session is thoughtfully planned.

STEP TWO
It’s Photo Day, Your Way
It’s time to meet up with your Chattanooga senior portrait photographer Marshall Stephens. You show up and I handle the rest. No awkward poses, no guessing games, just a relaxed, fun, and seamless session where your story takes center stage. Every shot is designed to capture who you really are and what you’ve worked for.

STEP four
STEP FIVE
Where your story becomes art
I partner with professional photo labs to create high-quality print products like wall art and photo albums you can order as well. Your professionally edited images will be delivered straight to your door without delays or hassle.
Not everyone has a spotlight on them or a trophy case full of awards, and that’s completely okay. Your “thing” and your personality don’t have to be flashy to be worthy of capturing.
It’s not about what looks impressive to the world. It’s about what makes you feel like you.
It could be a sport, a club, a group of friends, a favorite hobby, or even a TV show you can quote by heart. Your senior photos are about celebrating the little details that make your story yours.
SO WHat IS MY "THING?"
- Athletics (any sport, competitive or casual)
- Theatre, choir, or music performance
- Band, drumline, or orchestra
- Robotics, coding, or STEM projects
- Student government, debate, or academic clubs
- Art, photography, or creative hobbies
- Hanging out with friends or meaningful routines
- Pets or animals you love
- Gaming or streaming
- Collecting, crafting, or DIY projects
- Favorite books, movies, or fandoms
Here are some ideas to get you thinking about what you can highlight in your Senior Portrait Experience. Pick one, a few, or come up with your own:
Remember, the goal isn’t to have a “thing” that impresses others. It’s to show the real, unique, and remarkable you.
The Story-Driven Senior Photo Experience is perfect for you if…
You like guidance and support like outfit help, location ideas, and posing tips so you can show up ready to shine
You want bold, cinematic, and magazine-worthy photos that actually feel like you, your vibe, your personality, and your story
You’ve got something that lights you up, whether that’s sports, theatre, music, robotics, academics, friends, or anything else that makes high school yours
You want a shoot that’s fun, relaxed, and totally stress-free with no awkward poses and no “smile for the camera” vibes
You want photos, wall art, and keepsakes that you and your family will actually love
