| Ella | IL Pag. Winner |

This year I was honored to provide a prize to the local Cerro Gordo Bement Junior Miss Pageant and the lovely Miss Ella won our prize! We expanded a bit on what she won to get her a full studio and outdoor location session AND include her little sister too. These two gals were so much fun to photograph and as I always do with sibling sessions we got some real sibling love in there holding hands and hugging (you all know how much tween/teen siblings LOVE each other all day every day right?!?!). Well mom and I know they really do so we always get those warm and fuzzy photos on session.

I’m so excited for Ella’s unique wall art selection along with her custom-designed album which is going to be a blast to design. But until those go home with these girls it’s time to share all Ella’s favorites with them and the world. Enjoy!

Be sure to head over to our Facebook Page to give Ella some love with your likes, comments and shares!

| Scovill Zoo Fundraising Event – Zoorific 2016 |

Another year for ZOORIFIC at the Scovill Zoo! I’m honored to be a part of this event for the Zoo annually. If you follow me on instagram (@sjanephotography for business and @sarahjaneshorthose for personal: 99% #babyb) you’ve seen BabyB and me OFTEN at the zoo. We make it at least 2-3 times a month for a couple hours. She loves the animals and it’s a great safe place for her to run some energy off and even learn a bit. Plus, have you seen that playground!?!? What’s not to love!
Zoorific is the Zoo’s annual fundraising event and it’s a blast! You have the chance to explore the zoo animals up close and personal. There are feedings with the penguins, camels, tortoises, zebras (and even the cheetahs – though the staff feeds them not you, so everyone keeps their fingers!).

Along with great animal interactions there’s great FOOD from a ton of local restaurants!

And to finish the night it’s ICE CREAM and auction time with some amazing items up for grabs… This year as a part of the Zoorific evening the zoo partnered with DMH to unveil the William Barnes, MD Butterfly Exhibit!

| Olivia | Class of 2020 | Teen Portraits | Limited Edition Sessions |

I rarely have the chance to give a session away since we devote so much time to our clients the schedule doesn’t always allow for it but these new Limited Edition sessions are shorter and in excitement for kicking them off I decided to have a little fun and give one away on our Facebook Page! It was so fun to see people get so excited to share/comment and try for their free session. We had people enter trying for images of their seniors, families, kids, and even pets!

And this lovely gal, Olivia, was our winner!!! I know seniors get a lot of focus since the transition from high school is a big life event but so often we miss out on photographing the earlier teen years which I think are SO fun and important. This is the time when your children are growing up, testing out newfound independence, trying on new styles, and figuring out who they are. It’s also a time when teens are often shy, self conscious and may not always want to be in front of the camera (that was not the case with Olivia which was so fun!).

Olivia is a freshmen and this year is a big one for her too as she transitions into high school. She’s already excited to come back in a couple years for senior portraits but I’m SO glad we got to show off her personality and style at this age (so much will change in the next 4 years and I cannot wait to see her again in a few years).

Check out some of our favorite images from Olivia’s session and be sure to like and follow our Facebook Page so you can get in on the next chances to WIN a FREE Limited Edition Session.

Our next Limited Edition session date is coming up on Saturday, September 24th and we have 8:00am and 8:30am still available! And now you can book your space ONLINE here: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=12560689

| The Taylor Boys & The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift for Grandma |

Get ready for cuteness overload!!!! I was so thrilled when Danielle called me to setup a special session for creative gift ideas for her mother for Mother’s Day this year. Danielle was a new client this past fall and I got to meet her family to create their Christmas cards (check those out below too) and this time I got to meet her sister and her happy little boy Maddox.

| Burns Family Portraits | Decatur IL Family Photographer |

Are you guys ready to see two absolutely adorable little boys and their family?!?! I’m so excited that it’s time to share the Burn’s family portraits with you. Dana won one of our auction packages recently and she was so excited for some sunset portraits and though clouds literally rained on our parade the first day we had her set we were able to get her in one a beautiful evening at the Scovill Zoo.
