Chris Tenpenny

Chris Tenpenny purchased his first SLR camera in 1980 and a passion for photography began. Today, he is a partner photographer for Shine and seldom leaves home without his camera gear.

Chris is a career educator and has several years experience working with marginalized youth. In addition to serving at Shine, he has mentored youth at Preston Taylor Ministries and served at The Next Door.

He believes strongly in the mission of Shine Photography and “walks the walk” with commitment and positive interaction with Shine student referrals.

Chris has been a middle Tennessee resident since 1984. In his spare time, he loves to fly fish area streams and spend time with his lovely wife of 34 years, Robin.
