Nashville Senior Photographer | Senior Models | Class of 2018

ringing in the new year with kbp senior models

About a year ago, I had this vision that I wanted to do a New Years themed shoot with my 2018 Senior Reps. It took a little planning, working with talented vendors, & scoping out the perfect studio to get the clean look I was hoping for- but I'm so excited to share with you how this session went!

It was so much fun getting to know these girls throughout the year- they've blown me away with their kindness and support, and I cannot wait to see what Mississippi State & UTC have in store for these young women!

Up first: Maddie + New Years

What is your favorite thing about New Years?
> "That a whole new year is starting and there's so much to come throughout the year that we don't know about yet."

Maddie's 2018 New Years Resolutions
> "Since my cheerleading career will be ending, I am going to be working at motivating myself to continue workout out on my own multiple times per week."

NYE Traditions
> " I don't really have a New Year's tradition, I usually change it up each year. I do usually watch the ball drop!"

What are you looking forward to most in 2018?
> "In 2018 I am most looking forward to Graduation, traveling Europe for 2 weeks, and starting my freshman year at Mississippi State."

What will you miss most about High School?
> "The thing I will probably miss most about High School is cheerleading. I won't be continuing it into college and it's been such a huge part of my life for so long, it will be weird and different living without it."

Where do you see yourself in five years?
> "In five years, I hope to be already graduated, or graduating soon, with a job lined up. I also hope to have my life planned out a bit. Most of all, I look forward to getting my own dog!" 

 

Shelby + New Years:

What is your favorite thing about New Years?
> "New Years is a day that Americans mark as a change in mindset. We believe that New Year’s gives us the ability to “start over. New Years marks a fresh start to a full year ahead for me as well!”

Shelby's 2018 New Years Resolutions
> "My New Years resolution for 2018 is to become stronger both mentally and physically, as well as to work on being better with time management! :)"

NYE Traditions
> "I have several NYE traditions! Some of which include watching the ball drop (of course) alongside friends with sparkling grape juice."

What are you looking forward to most in 2018?
>  "I’m looking to grow as a person in my faith, in my health, and in the areas of my life where I am weakest."

What will you miss most about High School?
> "For me, what I’ll miss the most about High School is the people. Not just the students but the teachers, parents, and all of my other peers that have created a such a joyful, purposeful environment over the last few years of my life."

Where do you see yourself in five years?
> "In five years I see myself being a youth soccer coach as well as working at my engineering job."

 

Kathryn + New Years

What is your favorite thing about New Years?

NYE Traditions
> "Every year, my parents FORCE me to eat collard greens and black eyed peas that represent good fortune and good luck (which i absolutely hate!!) :)"

What are you looking forward to most in 2018?
> " In 2018 I am most looking forward to graduating from High School and starting my freshman year of college!" 

What will you miss most about High School?
> "The part I will most most about High School are the friends that i have grown up with since I was in kindergarten."

Where do you see yourself in five years?
> "In 5 years I see myself (hopefully) having just graduated from college and in the process of starting to attend Dental school soon after!"
