| Ethan’s Senior Session on St. Theresa Baseball Field |

I thought it was time to celebrate this guy on the blog today to stand up and clap for our spring baseball players. I’m so so glad we rose with the sun to create these looks on the St. Teresa Baseball Diamond with Ethan as the perfect start to his senior session in contrast with a less than perfect ending to the school year for our 2020 grads.

Always a special place in my heart for mommas and of course we include them in your session whenever we can! You know she’s his biggest fan and we wouldn’t want it any other way.

We’ve been working this week with a local printer (because #shoplocal!!) to find a way to celebrate not only our senior grads but any area seniors and we love these yard signs (single or double sided) and front door banners. We have them available in our online shop now and will be placing the first round of orders Monday, April 27th for all orders received this week. We’re hoping to shower our city with some love for our seniors with these and hope you love them as much as we do!

| Lexis’ Spring Senior Session at the SJP Studio |

I thought we could all use some colorful images with some spring flowers and a beautiful senior today! This girl is just absolutely stunning and was so much fun to photograph. We brought these gorgeous roses and I had so much fun working them into her session in a few different ways (of course, I had to end it with tossing them all over the place!). Then after we hung out around the studio we headed out to a fav local park that is the perfect mix of wild open fields, forest, river and even an ever changing (and not always polite) graffiti wall.

2020 seniors if closures have thrown off your spring portrait plans, give us a call now and we’ll make it a priority to get you a session to create the images you’ve wished for as soon as we can!

Plus, 2021/22 seniors who’d like to spend a year (or two) with us creating images to celebrate the end of your high school career you can apply to join our models/influencers now.

| Hailee | Maroa-Forsyth High School Senior Model | Class of 2020 |

Today, I get to share Hailee’s full senior session (and pop up session fun) as one of our 2020 senior models. With all this time in the office on our hands #quarantine #shelterinplace …. seems like a good time to show off and celebrate these 2020 grads who I’ve had an amazing time with this year.

Hailee’s been so fun to photograph since day one. We had a blast with her friends in the studio on BFF day and I love the variety we went with for her personal senior session to get a little bit urban #parkinggarage style (I love it, there’s really the best light in there!) and then working in a much more natural look around Rock Springs #classic.

Class of 2021/22 seniors applications for our senior model/influencer team are still open HERE. Applications/interviews have been extended and interviews will resume when we get the clear to resume business as usual. Be sure to get your applications in now so we’re ready for you when that time comes.

| Garhett’s Senior Session at Warrensburg Latham High School Baseball Field |

The sunshine today has be itching more than ever to get out with the camera back in my hand again. I know you baseball fans/players are feeling the itch as well to hit the field. Until we get the all clear to hit the diamond here’s a throwback to Garhett’s session this year (ironically with snow on the ground that we attempted to avoid to create that spring look).

We’re scheduling now for late spring/early summer for the class of 2021! Seniors, you can apply to become an SJP model/influencer now HERE for a full year portrait experience.

| Isabelle’s Year as an SJP Senior Model & Influencer |

Stunning Isabelle is up for her feature on the blog today! Senior year goes so quick (as I know you guys feeling the threat of an early end of it right now are realizing faster than we all hoped). The lasts come fast. Last first day, last first game, last game, last test, last team photo…. and for us the last session is just as much of a bittersweet moment.

Because we know the final year of high school goes so quickly, a couple years ago we decided to open our senior model & influencer team applications up for early enrollment. No extra fees but so many extra memories. We just wanted to extend the fun. To give these students a chance to celebrate an extra BFF session, one more year of pop up sessions all leading up to their personalized senior session.

An even more fun unexpected perk of that extra year working together is that on their senior session they are SO comfortable. It’s so fun!! But the bittersweet part comes in those last sessions after we’ve worked together and hung out so many times over the past couple years. Though I get sad that our journey ends as their senior years come to a close I get just as excited to see their next big adventures come.

I’m honored to have gotten to watch Isabelle blossom in front of my camera over the past couple years and to share those fun excursions with her lovely momma.

Senior model applications available now here. Plus, younger classmen can join us for a preview of the model experience as early as their 8th grade year for 1 styled group session and headshot session every year (it’s our goal to make sure they continue to see how gorgeous they are even through the years when they doubt it the most #beenthere).
