| Kirstin, Jesse, Keelan & Copper | Family Portraits, Decatur IL |

I’m so excited to show off these adorable people (and puppy!!) to you today!!! First, can I just tell you how much personality this little man has?!!? (Can you not see it, haha?!?!?). Keelan was a hoot and kept me on my toes.

I’m thrilled that Jesse and Kirstin chose to show off their images in my two favorite ways…We’ve designed a set of 5 canvases that will be a beautiful art piece in their home plus to feature ALL this fun in one place I’m designing a custom album that I know they will love for years (and love to pass down to Keelan one day too!).

Be sure to check out their feature gallery on our Facebook Page and take a second to give them some love with your likes, comments, shares!

Dominick | Cerro Gordo Senior Class of 2016 | Senior Guys!

You might remember seeing Haylei around the SJP blog a few times, well this year it was her brother’s turn! He’s a SENIOR and is about to graduate from Cerro Gordo High School and I was thrilled when Candy called me to get him on the schedule.

I love working with this family and have never had the opportunity to photograph Dominick yet so I was excited to give him a little time in the spotlight (of course we worked Haylei in for an image or two with her big brother too!).

Here are a few favorites from his session and you can see even more on our Facebook Page here!

Client Reviews at www.sjanephotography.com | Decatur IL Photographer

I love that our website had a fabulous way for us to not only highlight client images but also their words and feedback but as I’ve been busy working on creating images, designing albums and completing the day to day tasks of running the business I’ve not updated our site, and especially the reviews section, as often as I would like. So, it’s time! 2016-03-23 16.47.06

And to make it more fun I’m entering every review we receive TODAY (3/29/15) in a drawing to win some of my favorite things (Starbucks cards, chocolate, coffee mugs, mini sessions and more!).

If YOU are a past client of mine (of any kind; senior, family, kiddo, wedding, corporate, etc) you can message/email me your reviews, comment here on the blog post, or leave reviews on either google or our facebook page!

Here are a few that we’ve gotten in so far! Thank you all for your help updating the website and for all your kind words!

| Custom-Designed Portrait Albums | Seniors, Families, Newborns, Weddings, and MORE |

Whoa! You all know I LOVE our custom-designed albums and I’ve been designing away for these recent clients (with a stack of more to finish up this month too!). I wanted to take a second to show you some of what I’ve been designing recently.

I’m excited about the evolution of my style especially in album designs. While I would call these anything but boring or plain I have been leaning toward a simpler aesthetic recently. I like to select 1-3 elements like a background, texture, pattern, text, or shape and then stick with those couple elements in various ways throughout the album so that we can let the images shine but still infuse some personality to the design as well.

Soooo as I take a break from working on Samantha’s senior album AND Heather & Cody’s guestbook today I thought I’d pop in here to share some of these recent designs!

You can see more of this year’s album designs and previous years’ designs too on our Facebook Page.

| Starr | Newborn Portraits | Sarah Jane Photography | Jefferson City, MO |

So one of my most favorite things about my job is getting to share in huge milestone moments in my clients lives and getting to watch their families grow and change over the years. I went to high school with Pam and a few years ago her and Doug road tripped it up here to Decatur to have me create their engagement portraits (seriously humbling to have someone willing to drive 4+ hours for me to create their images!). I then had the chance to photograph their beautiful wedding in my home town of Jefferson City, MO and got to do what I don’t get to often and that’s photograph on the capital steps (where I shot some of my very first portraits when starting my business in high school).

Anyways…… fast forward to now and this lovely couple now has an absolutely adorable little boy! And once again I’ve had the honor to photograph a huge milestone in their lives (like HUGE… I totally get this now that we have #babyB in our lives). These two will make fabulous parents and I cannot wait to cuddle this little angel at 4, 8, 12 months and then again for his second birthday (it’s already in the books ya’ll, it’s happening!).

So without further adieu about about we see some newborn cuteness?!?!
