| Tory | Senior Class of 2017 | Decatur IL |

Look who’s up on the blog today! Tory was so much fun to photograph. Not only did we create a few classic looks in the studio (even including her and my favorite color purple!) but we absolutely had to show off her soccer skills on the field and then my favorite part…. we headed out to a friend’s land which was unbelievably beautiful with tree line, field and even little lake!

We had a beautiful sunset which was perfect for images with her truck and she was even brave enough to hop in the water for a few.

| 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.

| Emily | Central A & M Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2017 |

It’s time to see Emily’s senior portraits!!!!! This year I had not one, not two, but THREE lovely gals from Central A & M apply to be senior models and while I typically do not accept more than two seniors maximum from a particular school into the model program I just could not turn away one of these beautiful gals. They were all three SO different in style, interests/activities, personalities and even looks …. so this year we have 3 Central A & M models and I’m 100% thrilled with it!

You may remember Abby (posted just a few weeks ago) and we have Kaitlin coming up soon but right now it’s EMILY!!!!

She did a phenomenal job selecting unique outfits and my absolute favorite has to be this beautiful dress. It was perfect for field sunset portraits:

I knew I wanted to try out this new location and when Emily sent me her wardrobe I knew this would be a perfect fit for her neutral aztec pattern top – nothing goes better with a little aztec pattern than a little pop of turquoise! 2016-08-22_0005senior, outdoor senior, photos, pictures, pics, professional photos, central il photos, SJP, Sarah Jane Photography, professional photographer, decatur il, senior 2016, window pics, close up shoot, senior pics, colorful photography, sunset pictures, outdoor sunset, trees in background photosOk this might be my second favorite outfit of Emily’s… those gold bands!!! <3 And I just love her curls so that middle portrait is one of my absolute favorites! Plus she has the BEST laugh face so that bottom left… LOVE IT!

We ended Emily’s session with an unexpected water excursion. 99% of the time when we add water into a session it’s preplanned. This time, we just happened to be in the right place at the right time and when she pulled this out for her last outfit I pitched the idea of diving in (literally) and she was game…. I’m SO glad she said yes to those, it was a blast!
