She is quite the accomplished pageant gal and when it was time for the tween model session event I knew it was PERFECT for her! And as always, she rocked her session and we created SO many looks in just 15 minutes.

Take a look at a couple of our favorites and be sure to get your ‘tween’ (age 7-15) booked for our next mini event in-studio on Thursday, March 3 and on-location Saturday, April 9th (spaces are very limited!)

| Erica | Senior Portraits | Sarah Jane Photography | Decatur IL |

Check out this lovely WLHS senior, Erica! I wanted to go with something classic and something NEW for both her studio and outdoor looks so we pulled out a beautiful classy marble backdrop and then played with some fun new lighting with my ring light. Then out on location decided to shoot a little late and created a few images after dark for a unique look again!

I’m excited to show off just a bit of what we created at Erica’s session! Check out more of the latest senior portrait work on our facebook page and follow us on instagram!

| Kirk Family Portraits | Sarah Jane Photography | Decatur IL |

I worked with Amy to coordinate a family portrait session gift for her momma last Christmas and I’m so excited that we were able to get everyone together to complete it this summer! These guys are always looking good but they did a great job coordinating everyone and this time it was nice to have the boys along to carry that couch (at Jessie’s senior session Amy and I lugged it ourselves!).

I cannot wait to see how the wall art we designed looks hanging in their homes!

| Del’s Popcorn on Merchant | Rebuilding | Decatur IL |

One of Decatur’s most beloved downtown businesses, Del’s Popcorn on Merchant, recently suffered a fire and has been on the mend. This week I was contacted by Continental Carbonic, to be a part of their rebuild, specifically the dry ice blasting that they began today.

After touring all three floors of this historic downtown building and taking a peek back into it’s history, I cannot wait to see what’s in store for it next. Kemper gave us a full tour and was getting his hands on the dry ice blasting equipment when we left saying that though they estimated 14 days for this portion of the project, they get work DONE and he hoped for it to be done in 10 (that’s my kind of work ethic right there).

I’m excited to look in on them next week for some ‘during’ images and then head back when the work is done to show off what Continental Carbonic’s dry ice blasting can do to restore life back to their building.

Here are just a couple images from my day at Del’s (just a peek outside for now!).

| Jen & Mike | Central Illinois Wedding | Decatur Country Club Reception | Sarah Jane Photography |

Jen & Mike had a BEAUTIFUL wedding day, getting married at St. John’s Lutheran Church here in Decatur with their wedding reception at the gorgeous Decatur Country Club. We could not have asked for more perfect weather and as you can see they are an absolutely adorable couple.

And I wasn’t the only one with extra hands on deck as my second shooter, Elizabeth, was also around 7 months pregnant at the time too!

Well even if I did waddle a bit I was thrilled to be able to capture this couple’s special day! Here are some of our favorites….
