When Lilly and I were chatting about her senior photos, she told me she wanted something completely different. She loves concerts, vintage stores, and thrifting. I was pumped when she suggested Grimey’s Vintage Record Shop and then on to Nashville’s Percy Warner Park for her senior photos! I had never done an indoor session at a business, especially not local landmarks like these. When the day of her session came, it was a bit overcast and chilly, which made Grimey’s the perfect start to her senior session.

Lilly is the epitome of an out-of-the-box thinker, blending her own version of 90’s grunge with a sweetheart style that makes her one-of-a-kind. Her unique fashion sense not only reflects her vibrant personality, but also her love for thrifting, which ensures she always has a new vintage piece to show off. Whether she’s on the tennis court, singing at a concert, learning to play guitar, or hanging out with friends, Lilly’s individuality shines through in everything she does.
We kicked off Lilly’s senior photo session at the iconic Grimey’s Vintage Record Shop. The owners were kind enough to let us in early, giving us the entire store to ourselves. It was the perfect location for Lilly’s eclectic style. She brought along her early 2000s sparkly blue Fender Stratocaster electric guitar; a nod to her current journey of learning to play. The record shop’s retro vibe, paired with Lilly’s bold and creative style, resulted in photos that are as fun and unique as she is.
Lilly’s confidence in front of the camera was evident as she posed naturally with her guitar, showcasing her passion for music. And I love how she incorporated some of her favorite albums in the mix. Lilly blended her grunge-inspired wardrobe with soft, feminine touches, which created edgy and sweet images. Each shot captured the essence of who Lilly is—an adventurous, creative soul with a style all her own.
Just outside of Grimey’s, there are some fantastic murals. We snagged a few images as they were to fun to pass up. If you are ever at Grimey’s, don’t forget to check outside and around the buildings for more unique and colorful images.
After wrapping up at Grimey’s, we headed to Percy Warner Park, specifically to the iconic stone steps at the Alee. The park’s natural beauty provided a stunning contrast to the urban, vintage vibe of Grimey’s. The character of the stone steps, combined with the rich history of the area, created a calm and picturesque setting. For this location, Lilly’s changed into a cute cream dress and white espadrille shoes, and later she added depth to her outfit by adding a distressed denim jacket.
Her outfit choice was absolutely perfect, especially against the light stone, complemented by the lush green grass, and enhanced by the vibrant colored leaves.
Lilly, you have been such a fun addition to the team. I love your eclectic style and your passion for concerts! You are such a natural in front of the camera & are a pro at taking direction. I am so excited to see you excel in college and have a career that is uniquely YOU!
