| Ryan | Mahomet Seymour High School | Senior Model Class of 2018 |

Today I get to show off Ryan, our class of 2018 senior guy model! Our model team has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years yet each year we always have our token one guy. We actually have a lot of fun with that since at all the group shoots our one guy gets to hang out in the middle of all our gals. We’ve continued this trend so far with Clayton joining our class of 2019 model team and Jacob our class of 2020 as our token guys.

The model session worked out perfectly for Ryan since we were able to split his senior session up over the year to showcase his multi-sport talent. This guy is a tri-sport athlete playing baseball, football AND basketball, that may make scheduling a bit tricky but it sure did give us a lot of variety in images to create.

I had the pleasure to work with Ryan’s family a few years ago for his older sister so we knew going in that we’d create a similar album to match what we created for her and that worked out perfectly with them loving nearly 100 of his images. And they chose my favorite of our album styles which is hand crafted in Italy with a really stunning metal/glass image cover that’s a show-stopper even before it’s opened!

| Warrensburg-Latham High School Yearbook |

You may have seen some recent executive headshot events we’ve been doing both Richland Community College and Network Solutions Unlimited. Well our biggest headshot event of the year is hosted for Warrensburg-Latham High School when we create a yearbook image for each of their graduating seniors! Today, I’m excited to show off all these talented soon-to-be-adults to you.

In just a couple months they’ll all be closing the chapter on their high school lives and really on their childhoods and stepping out into the world as adults to pursue careers, or higher education either close to home or somewhere around the world.

| Darcy | Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior 2018 |

Check out Darcy’s senior session! Don’t you just love her hair, the braids were such a fun touch. Darcy’s a senior at Warrensburg-Latham high school and we’re just a couple months away from the big graduation day for all you class of 2018 seniors.

Darcy, like a lot of our seniors, chose to mix it up with her session locations to get a bit of that great urban grunge texture along with the beautiful wild natural look of our conservation areas. And I just loved her style. It’s so eclectic we went from ripped jeans and leather jacket to school house prep to soft natural dresses to a bold pop of red at the end!

We finished up the session working in one of her favorite things, her book collection (I don’t think we event got all of them out for these image!).

| Jessie + Derek | Engagement Session | Columbia, MO |

Guess what?!?! My beautiful cousin got MARRIED! I had the honor of photographing these two tie the knot last year and now that all their guests got to enjoy their guestbook I get to share/show it off to you here (and you’ll get to see their wedding images soon too).

I’ve said it before (and I’ll likely say it again) but I LOVE our guestbook albums for wedding days. We designed one for our big day and just this past week I got it out to show a client and had fun flipping back through it to see not only our images but all the sweet notes left by our friends and family on those pages too. This is a product that lets you share and enjoy your engagement images for years and to remember not only your sweet relationship but also all those who shared in your wedding day.

| Executive Portraits | Richland Career Week | Decatur IL |

In January I was invited to speak at the Richland Community College 8th grade career fair on the art panel along with my fellow creatives and entrepreneurs Kat Smalley (Thrive Entertainment Guide), radio personalities Toby Tucker and Tat Taylor, Kate Flemming (Millikin University) and performer Jerry Johnson. This was a blast and I was excited to see a number of these 8th graders have a great interest in not only photography but many areas of arts and entrepreneurship.

Through that event I connect with John Oliver with Richland’s Student services office and they invited me in as part of their career week to offer executive portraits for some of their staff and students. As college students, either entering their college careers or about to graduate and searching for their full time career, many of them are starting to adjust their online profiles to reflect a more professional appearance and/or creating new professional social profiles through sites like LinkedIn. Clearly, when you set up your LinkedIn profile it’s time to phase out that selfie on the beach for something a little more formal and professional. But what students often may not think about or know is that a professional executive portrait session can easily run you a couple hundred dollars investment and much more for a full executive branding package*.

So I was excited to partner with Richland to bring the students these portraits for use on their growing web resumes absolutely FREE to them! And a few of their staff and visiting personalities (like Tat and Nicole) jumped in at the opportunity as well. And I’m excited to be offering a similar opportunity to the professionals in Decatur this coming Tuesday, March 13th from 3:30-5:30. We’ve partnered now with Network Solutions Unlimited to offer a public Executive Portrait event to once again create professional headshot images for the professionals in our area 100% FREE.

Our NSU event will be held at NSU (1234 N Water St, Decatur, IL 62521) on Tuesday, March 13 from 3:30 -5:30 and will include FREE quick 2-3 minute sessions (black background) with immediate viewing of your images to select your favorite. PLUS, we’ll provide a fully retouched web-size file for use online (printing rights are available for as little as $50). And while you wait, you’ll be able to network with other area professionals and enjoy a few light refreshments.

To help us prepare please RSVP here. Walk-ins are welcome but may incur longer wait times.

Can’t make it to the event Tuesday, but still need updated portraits for you and/or your staff? We offer in-studio individual executive portrait sessions for only $45 plus the ability to bring out studio to YOU for in-house portraits your staff can complete in just a few minutes. Bulk pricing is available for larger offices/schools/etc.
