RESERVE YOUR SPOT

In-game action shots and candid coverage for senior athletes

*Spots are limited at each event, and once they're gone, they're gone. This is an intentionally small, focused session so I can deliver the quality your athlete deserves.

No “Thing”?

No PROBLEM.

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 complicated or 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.


  • 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.

Andrew, Senior Parent

He took the time to dig into our son's interests and likes/dislikes when it came to designing a photo session that would speak to and showcase who he was as an individual. I would certainly recommend TriStar Visuals if you are considering a photo session for your son or daughter!"

"Working with Marshall was fantastic!

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!

Sherry, senior Parent

Marshall’s photo experience was outstanding. My daughter had a wonderful time and the pictures were so beautiful. He makes you feel so comfortable and brings out the best in his subjects!"

"I wasn’t going to let just anyone take my daughter’s senior photos.

FAQs

About Working With Chattanooga Senior Portrait Photographer Marshall Stephens

MY CHILD DOESN'T LOVE TAKING PHOTOS. WILL THIS BE AWKWARD? +

Not at all. Every session is guided to feel natural, fun, and pressure-free. I specialize in helping students relax, be themselves, and showcase their unique story, whether they’re outgoing or more reserved. By the end, my seniors are amazed at how effortless it felt and how much they love their images.

DO WE REALLY NEED PROFESSIONAL SENIOR PHOTOS? CAN'T WE JUST USE OUR PHONE? +

Sure, you could. Phones are great for snapshots. However, I’ve found they can’t capture the depth, energy, and personality of a senior’s story like a professional photographer can. These photos are meant to pause a moment in time—the dedication, personality, and milestones behind who your child is now. They become heirlooms you’ll cherish forever.

WHAT IF MY CHILD ISN'T AN ATHLETE OR PERFORMER? +

You don’t have to be a “star” to have a story worth telling. Every student has a passion, a spark, or a place they’ve carved out for themselves. My sessions celebrate who your child is, not just what they do.

HOW DO WE CHOOSE OUTFITS AND LOCATIONS? +

This is where my tailored session planning comes in. I provide a personalized planning guide with outfit suggestions, location ideas, and styling tips that make your child feel confident, authentic, and ready to shine.

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.

HOW WILL YOU CAPTURE MY CHILD'S PERSONALITY? +

Your Senior Portrait Experience isn’t just about taking photos. It’s about telling stories. Every session is planned to highlight the energy, passion, and individuality that makes your child who they are. From our consultation to the final images, every step is about making your child feel seen, celebrated, and confident in front of the camera.

Your high school story is worth telling.

Whether you’re an athlete, a performer, captain of the debate team, or just someone who’s simply found your passion, your senior photos should celebrate it. 

Step into the spotlight, share your story, and walk away with images that honor every bit of effort, dedication, and passion that got you here.
