| Alex | Warrensburg-Latham High School Class of 2016 Senior |

This time of year is always bitter sweet for me! As I get excited to say hello to a new class of seniors, I get nostalgic looking back at the previous class and as we finalize things like graduation cards and such it’s a reminder that their families are all about to send their ‘babies’ out into the world.

Alex, is one of my last few class of 2016 seniors and I’m excited to show you some of our favorite images from his session. I love that as we started Alex’s Premiere his lovely momma mentioned ‘I think I like him smiling best.’ and ‘I’ll likely only do 1-2 black and whites.’ Well as we were finishing up I pointed out that we had quite a few black and whites and many with Alex not smiling. I just wanted to be sure she noticed and was 100% pleased with her choices and she absolutely was! That’s one of the many reasons we walk through the Premiere viewings with our clients together AND take a variety of poses and expressions on the session because choosing what you like or want BEFORE seeing the images is hard and often, the images change your mind.

It’s always fun for me to see which images my clients fall in love with and I think Marianne did a great job selecting these!

| Katlyn | Class of 2016 Mt. Zion High School Senior Portraits |

Everything came together perfectly for Katlyn’s recent senior session. When she came in for her consult we were all a little nervous about if we’d be able to pull off matching her school/work schedule with what I had available and get her a session scheduled within a week so we could have images in time for her graduation but the stars aligned! Not only did she have a day off school and work that I had open but we were even able to coordinate hair and makeup that day too all within just a few days time and the weather turned out great too!!

And, not only did I get to feature Katlyn but we worked in her man and her momma too! I love when I get to show off the relationships that are important in our senior’s lives right now. (This is the reason we’ve added a special BFF session event for our seniors this May!!).

Anyways, let’s get to the images!! Check out what we created for Katlyn here and see even more on our Facebook page soon.

I was so excited when she called me for her senior portraits partly because she’s a rodeo gal which meant having her horses on session (one of which is named Reba – come on what country music fan doesn’t love that?!?!?!). But I was also super excited to road trip it over to Jacksonville and photograph at some new locations including the dome (to highlight her volleyball).

Plus when her dad pulled up in his big rig it was the PERFECT conclusion to an awesome session! Check out just a few of our favorites from Korie’s senior session!

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!

| 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?!?!
