— -- Nathaniel Smith, from Knoxville Tennessee, definitely wants to "Live Más" in his senior photos at Taco Bell.

The Powell High School senior loves the fast food chain so much he couldn’t think of anywhere more fitting to take his portraits than with his beloved tacos. So, he set out with his photographer friend, Cassidy Roberts, to profess “Yo quiero Taco Bell!" on camera.

“I've always loved Taco Bell. It started my sophomore year as a Sunday night tradition after church with close friends,” he told ABC News of his obsession. “As time went on we started going three to four days out of the week! Anyone who knows me and my friends knows how much we love it there.”

Smith said he’s seen people take senior pictures in weird places before and figured his could be just as unique. “Anyone who knows me knows that if I were getting pictures they would be at Taco Bell. It's a pretty accurate representation of where you can find me if I'm not home!”

The employees at Smith's local Taco Bell location are pretty friendly with him. They’ve apparently even spent holidays together.

“I once cleaned some tables and they gave me a hat and apron,” he said. “My friends and I went on Christmas Eve and Christmas. We did a gift exchange under the tree they had in the corner and talked with the workers.”

The spicy photo session only lasted about 20 minutes because, “it was a little awkward with all the customers looking at us,” Smith joked.

After posting his photos to Twitter, they’ve been liked more than 1,000 times and retweeted nearly 400 times.
