Addie – The Girl Who Knows How to Own the Stage
Every once in a while, a senior steps in front of my camera who just gets it. Not just the posing or the wardrobe or the angles — but the energy, the story, the feel of it all. Addie is one of those people.
She’s a 2026 senior influencer with a love for theatre that shines through in everything she does. When we started planning her session, it only made sense to go somewhere with as much presence and history as she carries herself with — and the Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville delivered every bit of the magic we were after.
Built in 1928, the Tennessee Theatre is more than a building — it’s a piece of living history. It’s seen vaudeville, silent films, Broadway tours, and unforgettable performances over the years. Walking into its lobby is like stepping back in time: Spanish-Moorish design, gilded trim, velvet curtains, and chandeliers that look like they belong on a movie set. It’s breathtaking. And so was Addie.
She arrived with her a statement dress and a calm confidence that made every frame effortless. Addie carried herself with such grace and elegance — fully embracing the moment and trusting the process.
Her mom joined us for the session, beaming with pride the entire time. That support and deep connection added so much to the experience — a reminder that these sessions aren’t just about photos, but about celebrating growth, memories, and the journey.
Addie was down for anything, ready to create, and brought the kind of presence that makes storytelling through photography a dream. She didn’t just play a role — she became it. And watching her come alive in front of the camera was a powerful reminder of how bright her future really is.
Addie, you are talented, fearless, and stunning in every way. I can’t wait to see what stage you take next.
