| Garvin Family Portraits | Sarah Jane Photography | Decatur, IL |

Check out the Garvin family! I got to meet this beautiful family at our Fall Limited Edition session. One of my favorite things about our LE sessions is that they are a great way to ‘try on’ the SJP portrait experience. With no pre-session consultation and your choice of short 15 or 30 minute sessions they are a convenient option for clients with busy schedules and/or dads and kids who don’t LOVE being in front of the camera for an hour (haha any husbands out there that do?!?!).

And post-session you still get the full red-carpet treatment with your exclusive in-studio Premiere where you become the movie stars on our 106″ movie screen and we work with you to select images and create the perfect artwork for your home as well as to share with friends/family.

I have my set of annual clients who I get to see each year at these events and watching their kiddos grow over the years is seriously so rewarding but it’s so fun to meet the new faces like the Garvin’s and I swear you wouldn’t know this littlest guy didn’t know me before session. He warmed right up and was seriously working it for the camera. Even in 15 minutes I think it’s so important to let each of the kids shine with their own time in the spotlight. They are each such an important part of your family and we want to show off who they are right now so you don’t miss a moment (you’ll be shocked how much they change in just a year ahhhhh).

| Jodie | Class of 2019 Senior Portraits | Decatur IL |

I’m BACK! Sorry for the quiet month around the blog. I have a few sessions we’re keeping under wraps until Christmas cards hit mailboxes soon and I’ve been so busy OUT on sessions with these beautiful people that I haven’t had a chance to stop in here to share what we’ve been working on. But as the COLD weather moves in it’s just about time for me to hibernate and work on all these images so that means it’s time to share again, starting today with the lovely Jodie!

With a super funky fall this year Jodie’s October session was somehow almost all green (and even warm enough for us to play in the water… can you believe it and now there’s SNOW on the ground!!!). We did find one loan golden tree but had plenty of other gorgeous options including some pretty ivy and sunkissed golden field. But the real star of the show here is Jodie herself and I’m most excited about the art piece her and her momma decided to feature in their home (she was negotiating kicking out one of dad’s nature images to claim the biggest wall for herself – love it! But in the end I think they let his portrait stay and found the perfect home for her 4 image collage).

Class of 2019 we still have spring sessions open for you (or call us ASAP to get on our snow call list for truly unique senior portraits if you’re willing to brave the cold).

| Warrensburg-Latham High School | Senior Class of 2019 Yearbook Portraits |

Today I get to share the class of 2019 soon-to-be graduates of Warrensburg-Latham High School. I get to work with each of these students once a year to create their senior yearbook portrait. It’s really a fun day for me to work with them to get a portrait they love to commemorate their final year of high school.

Seniors and family you can view and purchase all class images for the classes of 2014-2019 here: https://sarahjanephotographyllc.pixieset.com/wlhspast/

| Jessica + Lucas | Decatur IL Couple’s Portraits at Sunset |

Some couple’s happiness and joy is just infectious and that’s so true of Jessica and Lucas. They completely embraced their time together on session and had so much fun while we created images designed to show off that relationship. So often in the hecticness of prep for the session (getting clothes together, hair and makeup done, worrying about leaving on time, checking the weather – is it too hot? will it rain?) we can forget or lose sight of the fact that for an hour it’s all about YOU… and for a couple’s session about your love.

How many other times do you get to spend a hour of your day without cell phones, no notifications, no TV, no dishes or laundry begging to be done… just you two, together. Holding hands, hugging, kissing, laughing at eachother! These two soaked it up and it was such a joy to be a part of this session with them. Sometimes, sessions are as much about the experience as they are the final images and this was one of those times.

If an hour (or even 15 minutes) away from the hustle and grind of your daily life to hang out with the one(s) you love most sounds like just what you need, head over to www.sjanephotography.com and click BOOK NOW to reserve your fall session. We have both full sessions and short Limited Edition sessions left and would love to save a spot for YOU.
