Urban Senior Pictures in Chattanooga

Downtown Chattanooga Senior Pictures with Unique Style and Personality

From the very first text messages, I knew Chloe’s senior session was going to be something special. She had a fun, creative spark, and I was so excited to help her bring her senior photo dreams to life!

We started things off with my Getting to Know You Questionnaire, which really helps me customize every photo session to reflect who each senior truly is. Chloe shared that she can be a little shy and reserved but can also funny—a description her friends and family would probably agree with. A student at Walker Valley High, she has plans to become an ultrasound tech after college. In her free time, she loves hanging out with friends, scrapbooking, thrifting, and discovering new music—especially 90s hits and Indie pop.

Then we met up at Tiger Tea (yum!) for a relaxed, laughter-filled meeting to dive into the details of her vision. We chatted about outfits, ideas, and what she wanted her senior photos to feel like. Chloe’s goal was to feel pretty and confident, especially with some extra help posing—and let me tell you, this girl had some amazing ideas!

Once we nailed down the vision, I sent her a detailed photoshoot schedule so she’d know exactly what to expect on session day. No surprises here! I also included a comprehensive “what to bring” checklist so nothing important was left behind. Being over-prepared is my love language.

Stop #1: Yellow Racket Records – 90s Retro Vibes

We kicked off Chloe’s senior photoshoot at Yellow Racket Records with total 90s retro vibes—fun outfits, cool energy, and a whole lot of personality. There were a few people browsing, and Chloe was a little nervous at first, but we kept things low-key and moved through the space quickly. Once we started shooting, she settled right in and completely owned the vibe!

Stop #2: Umbrella Alley – Bright, Bold, and Beautiful

After a quick outfit change in a public restroom, we headed to Umbrella Alley. The sun was blazing but we made it work—and Chloe made it FUN. She was playful and bold, and the photos turned out so natural and full of confidence. It was one of those moments where the lighting didn’t matter—her joy was the spotlight.

Stop #3: Riverfront Real Talk – Let’s Get Honest

Next, we made our way to a quiet walkway near the Chattanooga Riverfront. This is where we hit pause and had an in-depth heart-to-heart about the photos so far. Chloe shared what she was loving and what wasn’t quite feeling like her. We made a few pose adjustments, and y’all… she absolutely lit up. Sometimes all it takes is a little shift to make someone feel seen, and from that point on, she was unstoppable. We captured her cap and gown photos here, along with a fun college reveal moment!

Stop #4: Choo Choo Charm – Sweet and Stylish

Then it was off to the Chattanooga Choo Choo area, where we stumbled on the cutest little shop with charming outdoor tables and the most adorable doorway. Chloe was still in her black and white polka dot dress from the Umbrella Alley and Riverfront, so we took advantage of that look for this sweet little spot. I couldn’t have loved this area more if I tried!

After those photos, she changed into a new outfit for pictures under the iconic Chattanooga sign. She looked gorgeous, but it wasn’t her favorite look—so we kept this part of the session short and sweet.

Final Stop: Edgy Confidence – Parking Garage Edition

For the grand finale, Chloe changed into her jersey, grabbed her skateboard, and told me her vision: a dark parking lot with her lit up and glowing like a star. YES, please! I grabbed my portable flash, and we found the perfect corner in a parking garage.

And this, my friends, was her moment.
She came alive.
She was in her element.
Every single image we took here was absolute gold. She laughed, she posed—and she looked like the most confident version of herself. These photos were exactly what she’d been dreaming of.

Why I Loved This Senior Photoshoot So Much

Chloe’s session wasn’t just about cool locations or fun outfits (though we had plenty of both!). It was about bringing her vision to life and making her feel seen, heard, and celebrated. That’s what every high school senior deserves—a photoshoot that reflects who they are and helps them feel proud of their journey.
