Meet Mindy, a University of Tennessee, Knoxville senior. She was graduating in the fall, so our UTK grad photo session was more relaxed than the hectic spring season. The soft golden light of the evening perfectly reflects her calm and kind personality. She was truly the sweetest to work with! Keep reading to find inspiration for your own UTK senior photos.

As a Knoxville senior photographer, heading to UTK campus and meeting my grads is one of my favorite things! I almost always start up at Ayres Hall, which is one of the best locations for UTK graduation photos. Mindy and I made sure to grab some pictures on the famous checkerboard floor, then drove down the hill to check off other locations. One of my favorite spots to take senior photos is the seal. This is where the majority of UTK seniors pop a bottle or two of champagne, which is so fun! Sometimes the champagne doesn’t pop or fizz right the first time, but Mindy nailed it first try. Take a look at some of the photos below for inspiration and ideas for your own grad photos.
