| Parrott Girls | Headshots | Decatur IL Studio Session |

I’m excited today to show off these two beautiful sisters. Their momma contacted me to get a session booked quickly as they both were home on spring break and Victoria needed some updated professional portraits as she’ll be graduating soon and going on to get her law degree. She currently needed some updated images for her LinkedIn profile as she’ll be working to get internships and such in the coming years. And it was the perfect chance to get some headshots of her younger sister while we were at it too. We were one gal short as their other sister’s spring break didn’t match up so she was still away at school but I hope to get to meet her for family portraits soon.

| Jessica | Senior Class of 2018 | Decatur IL |

Today I get to share some of Jessica’s favorite images from her senior session with you! We had a chilly chilly day out at Allerton for her session but, of course, that park is beautiful year round and we had the chance to hide from the cold for just a bit in the greenhouse.

Jessica grew up camping at the 4H campground at Allerton so we were sure to work in that part of the park to her session as well and I’m most excited about the wall collage they selected (below) to show off their favorites!

| Darcy | Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior 2018 |

Check out Darcy’s senior session! Don’t you just love her hair, the braids were such a fun touch. Darcy’s a senior at Warrensburg-Latham high school and we’re just a couple months away from the big graduation day for all you class of 2018 seniors.

Darcy, like a lot of our seniors, chose to mix it up with her session locations to get a bit of that great urban grunge texture along with the beautiful wild natural look of our conservation areas. And I just loved her style. It’s so eclectic we went from ripped jeans and leather jacket to school house prep to soft natural dresses to a bold pop of red at the end!

| Peyton | Senior Portraits 2018 | Decatur, IL |

I’m excited to share Peyton’s session with you today! I had so much fun on her session with her momma and adorable little sister who came along for the fun. We had a late fall session and were lucky enough to find a pocket of great colored leaves remaining. But before we could get to all that beautiful fall color we started her session downtown for a bit more urban look which I LOVED for her amazing sequin dress.  senior portraits decatur il sarah jane photography , decatur il, best photographers, senior photographer, senior portraits, senior photos, photographer, photography, studio, central illinois, illinois, high school seniorssenior portraits decatur il sarah jane photography , decatur il, best photographers, senior photographer, senior portraits, senior photos, photographer, photography, studio, central illinois, illinois, high school seniorssenior portraits decatur il sarah jane photography , decatur il, best photographers, senior photographer, senior portraits, senior photos, photographer, photography, studio, central illinois, illinois, high school seniorssenior portraits decatur il sarah jane photography , decatur il, best photographers, senior photographer, senior portraits, senior photos, photographer, photography, studio, central illinois, illinois, high school seniorssenior portraits decatur il sarah jane photography , decatur il, best photographers, senior photographer, senior portraits, senior photos, photographer, photography, studio, central illinois, illinois, high school seniors

| Executive Portraits | Richland Career Week | Decatur IL |

In January I was invited to speak at the Richland Community College 8th grade career fair on the art panel along with my fellow creatives and entrepreneurs Kat Smalley (Thrive Entertainment Guide), radio personalities Toby Tucker and Tat Taylor, Kate Flemming (Millikin University) and performer Jerry Johnson. This was a blast and I was excited to see a number of these 8th graders have a great interest in not only photography but many areas of arts and entrepreneurship.

Through that event I connect with John Oliver with Richland’s Student services office and they invited me in as part of their career week to offer executive portraits for some of their staff and students. As college students, either entering their college careers or about to graduate and searching for their full time career, many of them are starting to adjust their online profiles to reflect a more professional appearance and/or creating new professional social profiles through sites like LinkedIn. Clearly, when you set up your LinkedIn profile it’s time to phase out that selfie on the beach for something a little more formal and professional. But what students often may not think about or know is that a professional executive portrait session can easily run you a couple hundred dollars investment and much more for a full executive branding package*.

So I was excited to partner with Richland to bring the students these portraits for use on their growing web resumes absolutely FREE to them! And a few of their staff and visiting personalities (like Tat and Nicole) jumped in at the opportunity as well. And I’m excited to be offering a similar opportunity to the professionals in Decatur this coming Tuesday, March 13th from 3:30-5:30. We’ve partnered now with Network Solutions Unlimited to offer a public Executive Portrait event to once again create professional headshot images for the professionals in our area 100% FREE.

Our NSU event will be held at NSU (1234 N Water St, Decatur, IL 62521) on Tuesday, March 13 from 3:30 -5:30 and will include FREE quick 2-3 minute sessions (black background) with immediate viewing of your images to select your favorite. PLUS, we’ll provide a fully retouched web-size file for use online (printing rights are available for as little as $50). And while you wait, you’ll be able to network with other area professionals and enjoy a few light refreshments.

To help us prepare please RSVP here.  Walk-ins are welcome but may incur longer wait times.
