Knoxville Senior Photographer – Andrea Larsen Photo bio picture

Andrea Larsen Photo {the blog}

 Welcome to my blog and thank you for looking at my work!  I am a natural light photographer in Maryville & Knoxville TN. I specialize in High School Senior photography.

 I graduated from the University of Tennessee with a BFA in studio art.  My concentration was drawing.  I am an artist.

My love for photography blossomed naturally with my desire to capture the brilliance of my children.  They are delightful little creatures and are used to having a camera in their faces.  

My favorite images to capture are full of motion and emotion.  Which is why I LOVE working with HS seniors.  They are so full of life and excitement.  Seniors will do any crazy thing I ask them to do and I love them for it!

I always have the best time ever on a photo shoot.  Every time!  It's awesome. 




Harper

Sweet, teeny, tiny baby Harper!  She was an absolute breeze to work with! And I loved the little smiles she kept throwing my way!  She is going to be a happy baby just like her big sis!


Paxon

I love this little hands behind the head thing Paxon was doing!  What a little man!  I sure did have fun ordering all these little boy props on etsy!  Does that count as a new hobby?

Exciting new changes!


The blog is finally back!  I hope you like the new look!  I have six new exciting things to introduce to you.  They are :  Newborns. Studio Lighting. All inclusive pricing. Free prints!  And an assistant!  So first things first…the newborns.    I have been working since February with another company doing newborns at the hospital and it is such a joy to see and hold these sweet little new miracles week after week.  I have learned so much about how to handle them and keep them happy.  Tricks I wish I knew 8 or 9 years ago when Chickie was a baby, for sure!   But now I am doing full newborn sessions here at my house with studio lighting!  I went to a really amazing class across the country to learn the ins and outs of studio lighting and extra fun newborn poses.  I also have new all-inclusive pricing! Since 99.999% of my clients always order the cd and only about 10% of my clients order prints I decided to lump the pricing together from the get go.  This will help move things along and get you your cds faster!  And also I know I really like to know in advance what I’m going to spend on any given thing.  So this way you know!  You can look over the details of all my new pricing and sessions offered in the details tab at the top menu bar of this blog.  And I’ve paired with Pro Digital Photos to offer each client a ticket for a set of free prints or an enlargement with every session!  That makes me feel so much better about everyone just ordering the cds.  This way you will get some prints up around your house for sure!  And I have color corrected my prints with them so that I know you are getting the great quality and seeing color the same way I am when I’m editing!  And finally, I’m super excited to introduce my new assistant Katie!  She will be helping with emails and booking my schedule.  This is her little one Liza Jo. Cute, right!

Whitney and Will Married!

Whitney and Will’s wedding was so beautiful!  Don’t you love her necklace!!  The wedding was gorgeous.  They are such a cute couple. And I can’t wait to see their wedding video from Milestone Pictures!  

Alli class of 2011! | Maryville, TN HS Senior photography

We had so many obstacles to this shoot that I knew it would have to end up being great and it was!  Alli is gorgeous!  I had a blast working with her.  It was definitely worth the wait!

Alli is graduating from William Blount in just a few days.  Congratulations!

Ashley!

Meet Ashley!  She is gorgeous and fun and I loved our location!  It was kind of a yucky morning, but you never would have guessed by the evening.  It was overcast but the sun setting gave the most gorgeous glow!  Ashley is graduating from Heritage High School in just a few days.  Congratulations Ashley!


Savannah MHS class of 2011!! | Maryville TN Photographer

Savannah, her mom, and I went to this new location.  It’s a little off the beaten path and I am loving it!  She is gorgeous!  And between the variety of our location and her different outfits, I had a really hard time narrowing down her photos.  That is a good problem!  Not to mention that this weather is making my life a dream come true right now! Well at least as far a photo shoots go!

Thanks Savannah! I hope you love them!

Whitney and Will: engaged! | Knoxville TN photographer

Will and Whitney are so much fun! Call me a hopeless romantic, but I had a moment when I was editing these where I got a little teary.  I just thought, “These two are going to be so happy together!”  I’d be looking at pictures of them kissing one minute and then pictures of them laughing hysterically the next.  It was really cute.  I wish I could share more on here!  But these are my favorites from the session.  I can’t wait for the wedding!

Topher

There are two things you should know about my husband, Chris.  One.  He is hilarious.  I make my case with the next two photos.

Two.  He is a ballroom dancer.  That’s how he feeds us.  Really, truly. I love telling people that because they always have the best reactions!  We have a little ballroom action right here:

Hopefully soon I will get to take some pictures of him and his dance partner Anne-Marie.  They are amazing!

And now for the rest.  We decided to go to the same location as his little mini-me.  We figured it was appropriate.

I’m so lucky to be married to such a wonderful guy!

Aubrey–Class of 2011 | Maryville TN photographer

This first black and white is my fav.  I think we got some pretty cool bowling shots, too!   Thanks Aubrey!
