| Jessie + Derek | Married | Columbia Missouri Wedding |

Today I get to show off Jessie & Derek’s Columbia, MO wedding day. This lovely bride is actually my cousin so this wedding was a really fun one where even my little one got to attend and dance her heart out at the reception (when she wasn’t ‘assisting’ mommy by clinging to my leg while I photographed said dancing!).

I don’t work often back in Missouri but being home those central MO weddings have a very special place in my heart (session too!). It’s so much fun for me to be back photographing at places where some of my very first sessions took place. There’s nothing more nostalgic than heading back to downtown Columbia, MU campus or even the Capital to photograph again. Add in a super fun bridal party, the sweetest couple, beautiful lighting, the cutest reception decorations plus a good friend second shooting with me and this was a perfect wedding day!

If you’re a Missouri bride, bring me home! The best part is central-Missouri weddings include FREE travel!!

| Cassidy | Miss Teen of Illinois | Pageant Headshot Portraits |

Cassidy is one of my 2019 senior models and we recently did a few headshots for her as she’s the reigning Miss Teen of Illinois! Isn’t she stunning! You’ll be seeing a lot more of her after we have her senior session next month, but for now, just a little peek at her pageant headshots.

| Warrensburg-Latham High School Class of 2018 & Senior Model Graduation Portraits |

Being out of the office a bit with our new little girl means this graduation post is coming just a few weeks after graduation but I wanted to take just a quick second to say CONGRATULATIONS to the class of 2018 graduates of Warrensburg-Latham High School.

Plus, props to these three gals (including one of our own seniors Holly) who made it to Valedictorian, that’s a great accomplishment ladies. You might recall a recent post where we highlighted all the senior headshots we created for this class of seniors, well on graduation day I head back to WLHS to create their senior class portrait and it’s so fun to see all the students on such an exciting day before the set out into the world for their next big adventures.

** Administrators/parents if YOUR child’s school is looking for a bit more from their senior (or underclassmen) yearbook portraits we have openings for more school headshots in 2018. We have options for full studio setup AT school to make things simple and easy and starting February 2019 we’ll have in-studio session dates available at our brand new studio!

| Jacey | Meridian High School Senior Portraits | Decatur IL |

I cannot tell you how much I LOVED Jacey’s session! Of course Katie did a perfect job on her hair and makeup and we kicked things off downtown for a little urban grunge look which I loved with her volleyball net and her classy urban styles. Her and her momma were so much fun to hang out with and the session flew by, PLUS at her second location I got to meet her two super sweet and polar opposite pups!!

One little thing I LOVE about being a photographer who favors additional lighting on our sessions is that it gives us a chance to create a variety of looks in one location. The next two sets of images were taken basically in the same place on the same white brick wall but with some flash we were able to completely mix up the look to make things a bit darker and edgier for her volleyball uniform and make things a little more light and airy and natural to fit her next look. All without needing to spend 20 minutes to walk to a different location! We even used the same rolled fence in the below left and above left image with completely different lighting to achieve a good variety in her volleyball team photos. One of my favorite things to do on session is shoot as many unique looks as we can in just a few hours. Most of my seniors choose our 2 or 4 hour sessions and we get a TON of variety in that time to show off all their eclectic personalities.

Plus we worked in images with her super fun car (I sure wish my first car had been half this cool but I definitely loved it just as much!).

We are now booking summer and fall senior sessions and our calendar is filling faster than ever. Sessions can be reserved HERE and you can call/email/message us anytime to setup your consultation to learn more about what we can create for YOUR senior session!

| Prom Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

This year we joined in with some other wonderful local businesses to provide an epic prom prize for one lucky high schooler and Ms. Morgan was the winner! Our part of her prize was a 30 minute prom-day session with her friends. We met this gorgeous group at the beautiful Scovill Gardens and it was fun to have two of my past seniors (Kaitlyn and Holly) in the group too!
