| Kaitlin | Central A & M Senior Model | Class of 2017 |

I’m beyond excited to get to share this beautiful senior with you today. Kaitlin is one of our class of 2017 senior models and I’ve had the pleasure to photograph her a number of times throughout her senior year.

She was a part of our parachute dress model session at the Decatur Airport and for her senior session we spent a little time in the studio where we were sure to highlight her dancing talent along with creating a few colorful looks. I had the most fun out around town though. We stopped at a little rustic place I’d been itching to have the right session for and I think it worked perfectly for a casual look for her and we spent the rest of our time (spring and this fall) creating a variety of nature looks at a number of beautiful areas around town.

I also had the chance to photograph Kaitlin with her best friends at her BFF session!

Take a look at all her favorites and be sure to head over to our Facebook Page to show her some love with your likes, comments and shares.

| Jaxson | Maroa-Forsyth Senior Class of 2017 | Decatur IL |

Take a look at Jaxson! Our latest Maroa-Forsyth High School senior class of 2017. His order is about to go home today so it seemed like a good time to show him off on the blog.

Jaxson’s session worked out perfectly…. we were afraid we might get rained out but decided since we were starting in the studio to go for it and see if we could outlast the rain (and if not, just reschedule the location portion of the session). Well, not only did we outlast the rain, but we got some amazing clouds/lighting in the process.

Jaxson and his dad kicked off the session solo in the studio and were prepped with outfits carefully prepared but with instructions from his mom to photograph him as he came which was awesome! Mom’s take note, it’s ok if your senior wears cutoff shirts and sweatpants daily we will absolutely photography them as they are.

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

teen outdoor portraits decatur il, sarah jane photography, decatur il photographer, photography studio, photographer, decatur il,

free portrait sessions mini session giveawayI 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.

| Kyle S | Senior Portraits Warrensburg IL |

It’s time to show off one of our latest Warrensburg-Latham High School Seniors! I’m excited to have been working with WLHS for the past 4-5 years to produce their senior yearbook portraits along with dance pictures. It’s fun for me to meet so many talented young seniors throughout their senior year!

Kyle is one of the WLHS class of 2017 seniors! My favorite part of his session was how excited his family was about the experience. He’s the oldest so it was the first time around for the senior portrait experience and not only did Kyle’s momma and younger brother come along for session but his grandma and grandpa did too!

It really is an EXPERIENCE and including the whole family is something I love! We’re already planning family portraits for them and before they left grandma said I better stick around because they have another coming up in just a few years. That is one of my all time favorite things to hear from families. That not only did they love what we did for their current senior but we are already planning their next, that means the world to me!

Ok ok enough blabbing from me…. lets see some images! Here are some favorites of ours from Kyle’s session and even a look at his card design:
