| Payton | Argenta-Oreana High School Senior Model | Class of 2018 | Decatur, IL |

The first of our class of 2018 senior models to make their debut on the blog is our very own Ms. Payton!

2017-08-17_0003You may remember her first moment in the SJP spotlight way back for her sophomore year prom when she won the Neuhoff media prom package which included a prom-day shoot with her date Austin (and we included him in a few of her senior portraits too)!

From there it wasn’t long before Payton was working as my assistant and modeling for me on a few projects including our parachute dress class in downtown Indianapolis with the Reset Conference. She’s even charmed our own little #BabyB and got to be her swim lesson teacher at fairview pool this summer!

So basically Payton has become a pretty awesome part of the SJP family (at home and work!) so it seemed fitting she be the first one up on the blog to kick off the class of 2018’s senior year.

Do you guys remember the ‘trash can image’ ?!? Austin joked when we got out of the car at the park that we had a great location right by the dumpster soooo I accepted that as a challenge to create something fun by it and this was the result:

| Kayla Y103 Prom Giveaway 2017 | Decatur IL |

Today I’m excited to share Kayla’s prom shoot with you! For the past couple years we’ve been a partner in the Neuhoff media’s 95Q and Y103 Prom Giveaway to give one lucky winner the ultimate prom experience including prom-day session! We had a beautiful day for her prom and it was so fun to meet these two for this quick shoot.

| Warrensburg-Latham High School | Prom Portraits |

This past weekend Warrensburg-Latham High School had a WONDERFUL beautiful weekend for prom! Much better than the last weekend of rain rain rain, they had nothing but blue skies and mild weather. I have to give a big shout out and congratulations to prom king, Brad and queen, our very own Hannah!

Everyone was lovely and the beautiful weather proved great for our outdoor portraits earlier in the day especially for our latest pop-up session for our senior models but meant there wasn’t much need for our indoor studio setup though I was thrilled to see a handful of students for a bit more formal portrait on this fun and elegant gold sequins drop (which I’ll be adding as an option in-studio very soon!).

And big thank you to my assistant Payton for keeping me company, helping setup and tear down the gear and being my test model for the set.
