| Jamie | Mt. Zion High School Class of 2016 Senior |

Take a look at JAMIE, Mt. Zion High School Senior of the Class of 2016! I had the honor to photograph Jamie’s senior a few years back and was thrilled when her mom called me to be a part of Jamie’s senior year too! I absolutely LOVE being able to work with families repeatedly and become a part of their family history (and watch them all grow up!!!!).

It’s always very important to me that we really make each senior’s session unique though and not just follow identically in their older siblings foot steps. I’m so so excited for what we’ve designed for Jamie’s walls so she can display her senior images beautifully on her walls next to her sister’s!

Be sure to check out all Jamie’s images on our Facebook Page and give her some love with your comments, likes and shares.

I love how creative we get to be when clients book our Couture session! This session is 5 hours long and if that sounds like a LOT it’s because it is, but it means we get to do so much without worrying about time… lots of locations, lots of outfits, even lots of people!

And we got all that in for Allie’s session. By far my favorite part of Allie’s session is the personalization she added by selecting locations like her old home that really made it about HER. Plus, including her best friends, sister, mom and dog meant we had a blast with all her favorite people!

Her album is being hand crafted in Italy as we speak and I cannot wait to have the finished product in soon. Take a look at some of our favorite images and a few album designs too…

We are right in the heat of senior portrait season for the class of 2015 and before we officially kick off the 2014-2015 school year (in like a month… AHHH) I wanted to let the class of 2014 have a little more time in the spotlight.

To start with, here’s Amber (Mt. Zion High School Senior, class of 2014)… If you follow me on instagram you may remember this from Amber’s session:

The rain really snuck up on us and though we tried to wait it out we soon realized there was no way to not get wet (soaked) so we’d have to reschedule the rest of her session… but before we called it a day I asked Amber if she’d be up for just going for it and getting totally soaked for a few images. She didn’t even hesitate to say yes and the images we created ended up being some of their favorites.

Check out some of the senior pictures we created for Amber this summer:

I LOVED Zach’s senior session, which we did completely on location at Warrensburg-Latham High School. What better way to commemorate high school senior portraits than to have them AT the high school?! Zach is very involved with his school, and very talented as you can see… he’s appeared in numerous plays and musicals for his school and others and he plays the clarinet (just like I did for a bit in high school) for the school’s marching band.

We had a gorgeous day and a lovely sunset which was the perfect way to finish the session. Only for just a bit did we think we had terrible planning and that there might be a track meat scheduled that we didn’t know about, but luckily the hoards of buses that pulled into the school parking lot as we started the session were full of volleyball girls (whew).

Well, be sure to head over to the Sarah Jane Photography Facebook Page to view Zach’s gallery and be sure to give him a few LIKES so we can post more images.

Take a look at a few of Rachel’s favorites from her recent senior session at Sarah Jane Photography! You know we love to go tromping around town for our seniors but sometimes all we need is a quick 45 minutes in the studio and that’s exactly what we did for Rachel. The best part about studio sessions is they can be done anytime throughout the year and we never have rain delays! If you’re a senior looking to beat the rush on senior portraits and get them back before all your friends (but don’t want to freeze outside in this sloshy snowy mess) then now is the time to call and book your studio session.

Brand new in the studio for 2014 I’m excited to have nearly 15 new backdrops to debut. We’ve got everything from classic black/grey to glitzy and glittery, grungy, patriotic and so much more! I’m so excited about what’s new in the studio this year (can you tell).

Well, don’t forget to head on over to the Sarah Jane Photography facebook page to view more of Rachel’s session in her gallery and show her some love with a few LIKES too!
