Chattanooga Ballet Senior Session

It’s been a good few years (or decade) since we’ve walked the halls of our high school. Out of all the memories from those adventurous (and sometimes embarrassing) years, we’ll never forget how exciting it was to walk down the aisle on graduation night! Talking with Elena during her Chattanooga Ballet Senior Session brought back a lot of these memories, and we were inspired by her journey through high school.

From the number of books (did you catch that was plural?) she reads a week to her ballet skills, Elena is one of the most talented and ambitious young ladies we know! Since her very, very young years, she’s been well ahead of the curve in both reading and dance. Now, she uses her talent to teach others how to dance and helps produce The Nutcracker with the Chattanooga Ballet. You won’t believe it, but Elena said she has taught a group of 60 dancers at one time!! Mercy. That’s another skill set in itself!! What an accomplishment for a high school senior!

While we adored photographing her dance in her leotard, skirt, and pointe shoes, we had to capture both sides of this studious senior. So for the second half of her senior session, Elena changed into the cutest fall outfit & we captured her during her other favorite pass time – reading books!

Elena, soon you’ll be saying tah-tah to all those papers and exams (finally!). We can’t wait to hear about your achievements after high school! We hope college is ready for YOU, because we know you’re more than ready for it!! Until then, we hope you enjoy a few previews from our time together! 🙂
