| Hunter M | Senior Class of 2017 Portraits | Decatur IL |

It’s Hunter’s moment in the spotlight on the SJP blog today! She’s a senior at Central A & M and is super talented. Not only does she play both school and club volleyball and cheer but is also a fantastic artist! She brought in a selection of her favorite art pieces for her session so I was able to create a few images that combined her art with mine.

Check out that game face!

This sunset image was probably my favorite combination. It completely took this image to a different level and my favorite part is that it made it much more unique and personal to her.

I did also really like the combo of the wolf and eye with this BoxDropsbySJP backdrop in a similar tone. Two of Hunter’s art pieces, plus a backdrop design by Punch & Sizzle all combined for my image… it’s like art overload!

Hunter’s also a big fan of mixing up her lip color so I loved the idea of doing a series of images to highlight that. My favorite ended up being the dark lip in black and white which is so bold yet a bit classic.

| Micaela T | Senior Class of 2017 | Decatur IL Photographer |

Today is Micaela’s day in the spotlight! She’s a class of 2017 senior at Eisenhower High School and was so fun to photograph. With that stunning hair and striking features she rocked her session and I loved every image!

As a bookworm myself I was thrilled with Micaela showed up with her book collection and we found a couple ways to work them into her session both downtown for an urban look and at Rock Springs for a bit more natural setting (and just check out those eyes!!!).

Today I get to show off and share Tiara’s senior session with you! Tiara is a class of 2017 senior at LSA here in Decatur and we had not just one but TWO sessions for her so we could highlight both some summer looks and greenery plus some fall leaves (and even a pumpkin!). Plus she’s an LSA cheerleader so we hopped in the studio to highlight that along with recreating an image that her mom had done her senior year too!
This is one of my favorite pages from her album design which featured all her favorite images! It’s off to print this week so I cannot wait to see it in person.

And we even included her sister which I love! Your senior portraits are definitely about YOU but they are also about who you are and that includes the people important to you!
