Whenever I schedule a senior session (or any session for that matter) I always ask my clients if they already have a location in mind. When I talked to Lindsey about her senior portraits I mentioned some of my favorite spots and also that we could do something different like downtown Birmingham or Nashville. Nashville turned out to be a perfect fit for Lindsey, who wanted to go somewhere different. During her session her mom also told me that Nashville is one of their favorite places and they’ve spent lots of time there over the years. Needless to say I was definitely up for the roadtrip!
I did a little location scouting downtown before I met with Lindsey, and I knew the biggest problem I had would be fitting in all the spots I wanted to use. 
We found some great alleys, including the infamous Printer’s Alley, plus I knew in front of the Union Station Hotel would be perfect. I’d planned to end our session at Centennial Park, at the Parthenon … but since I managed to get us lost we had run out of light by the time I got us there! Fortunately we still had tons of variety without the Parthenon.
Printer’s Alley - wasn’t it nice of them to paint the wall red to match Lindsey’s gorgeous dress?!
Posing Lindsey was pretty much effortless, she knew just what to do.
Stunning, isn’t she?!
One of my favorites, so far.
I saw this amazing mural earlier in the day when I was out scouting. I just knew we had to get some shots here.
Lindsey brought a fabulous selection of clothes with her … and she looked great in every outfit!
While we were shooting in this alley, Lindsey found herself an admirer! This biker guy just plopped himself down in the shot and made himself right at home!
