Heather and Blair are the stars on the blog today! These two are the sweetest and their wedding day was full to bursting with love and family and fun. We kicked off the day at the day getting ready at their homes (where even Heather’s dog got fancied up for the special occasion).

This was my first wedding at First General Baptist Church and I have to say I’m a big fan especially with it being just walking distance to the beautiful Garden Path which we made our first stop after finishing formals inside! And Heather and Blair’s reception location was just as beautiful so we spent some time around sunset on the Hickory Point Golf Course grounds.

Their album is currently being hand-crafted in Italy and I cannot wait to see it in-person so soon!

| Garett | Argenta-Oreana High School |

Today I get to share Garett’s senior portraits with you! We might have had a chilly dreary day (nothing like the 80 degrees and sunshine that decided to show up this week!!!) but we definitely made the best of it. Early spring sessions can be a bit unpredictable but by this time of the year I’m always itching to get the camera back in my hands and get outside after mostly indoor sessions all winter long.

We kicked off Garett’s session at the high school to feature his two sports, baseball and football. Construction on the brand new field made things interesting but a very accomodating construction crew let us get what we needed on the bleachers while they worked!

After finishing at the school we headed over to Whitmore Park. This little park is one of my favorite little forgotten spaces over here. I love it for spectacular fall colors in it’s nice dense forest but even this time of year it gives us such variety and being one of the less visited parks in town we often have the place all to ourselves for sessions (and play days for me and B too!). Garett chose this park as his second location because it’s a favorite spots to take his pup for walks.

You may remember the Morrison’s first session with me a couple years ago. I was so thrilled to work with them again for Garett’s senior portraits.

| Parrott Girls | Headshots | Decatur IL Studio Session |

I’m excited today to show off these two beautiful sisters. Their momma contacted me to get a session booked quickly as they both were home on spring break and Victoria needed some updated professional portraits as she’ll be graduating soon and going on to get her law degree. She currently needed some updated images for her LinkedIn profile as she’ll be working to get internships and such in the coming years. And it was the perfect chance to get some headshots of her younger sister while we were at it too. We were one gal short as their other sister’s spring break didn’t match up so she was still away at school but I hope to get to meet her for family portraits soon.

| TaNia | MacArthur High School Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2018 |

Today I get to share the lovely Ms. TaNia with you all! She and her momma have been so fun to work with this year and I’ve loved having her on our model team. You may remember some of her BFF session images as well as her model debut but today I get to share the whole shebang!

We started her session in downtown Decatur. I just love the classic and elegant look of columns and limestone and downtown offers so much variety we mixed in some brick, glass for some fun reflections and even some more natural looks in central park! Check out TaNia’s style too. I love the bright bold colors of her first outfit and the striking red dress looks like something right out of Hollywood.

Once we finished up downtown we headed out to the always beautiful Allerton! Be sure to head over to our Facebook Page and IG to give TaNia some love and see her album design soon!

| Violet | Pageant Headshots |

Today I get to share a recent session with the lovely Violet! If you’ve been around the blog recently you’ve seen we’ve been busy with professional headshots for some upcoming graduates at Richland Community College and the Decatur professional community and even the senior class at Warrensburg-Latham High School. Well, another really fun headshot session I get to do every so often are pageant headshots (like these last fall with Rebekah).

Ms. Violet needed some updated images for a pageant coming up this summer so we brought her into the studio for our quick and simple 15-minute headshot session. My favorite part about these sessions is that they are an all-inclusive one hour appointment. Of course, we start with a quick phone consult so we can plan outfits/backdrops/hair & makeup, etc and then the day of the session we have 15 minutes of camera time (which usually allows for 1-2 outfits!) and then in just a few minutes we’re viewing those images on our 106″ projection screen to select your favorites and design your order! And just like that, you’re work is done and I get to work editing and artworking your selections.

With our and our kiddos busy schedules this is the perfect way to get a quick updated portrait all in one day!

Good luck to Violet in her upcoming pageants! Be sure to give her some love on our facebook page & IG!
