the latest in-studio & on-location MO, IL and beyond
It’s Alaina’s turn in the spotlight today! This lovely senior knew exactly where she wanted her senior portraits and I think she picked perfectly! There’s nothing better than a beautiful day at sunset at Allerton Park. We had a blast and Alaina did a great job with outfits selections too.
I think my favorite spot to shoot at Allerton is the green house! There’s just something so pretty about that classic white, windows and roof line. 
Start with a beautiful gal, add in a boy and his beard plus a gorgeous fall day at Allerton Park and you’ll have Myra & Tyler’s wedding day!! This was such a fun group and I absolutely love these two love birds. I’m so excited to share some of our favorite images from their day…
What’s better than a guy and his guys? A guy and his little girl (aren’t they just adorable!?!)
And nothing beats a great first look (I love the anticipation on his face).
The realities of bird seed being thrown is you get to pick it out of eachother’s hair and in a beautifully romantic post-ceremony moment!
And the Decatur Club does it again rocking the classic chandeliers! 
Rachel was so much fun to photograph. We started here in the studio then ventured out to downtown for a little bit of the city feel before finishing up the session at the always beautiful Allerton Park. Since I’ve shot at Allerton a lot we decided to stop at a different area of the park to get a unique look for her session and I LOVED it! 
Plus, her session wasn’t complete without adding in a few with Lucy her adorable bulldog! You can see more from Rachel’s session on our Facebook Page.
Say hello to Amanda & Chad! They are ENGAGED (whoohoo)!!!! I’m so excited about their fall 2014 wedding, and honored to be a part of their big day. Amanda and I hit it off right away and I was thrilled when they decided I was the photographer for them. It was a gorgeous day so we decided to hang out around Allerton Park for their session (just like for Kiersten’s senior session that I posted yesterday).
I love that locations like Allerton offer so much variety that you can have countless sessions there without producing images that look exactly the same. Decatur is full of gorgeous areas to photograph from the parks and lake areas to the downtown city scape and even grungy back alleys, the possibilities are endless.
Be sure to head over to the Sarah Jane Photography facebook page to see more images from Amanda & Chad’s engagement session and check out their personal gallery where you can show them some love and LIKE their images to help them earn more posts.
