| SJP Senior Model BFF Sessions |

One of the most fun things we do with our senior model team is host their favorite people in the studio each May for BFF sessions! Some seniors bring along one friend and others bring along the whole gang and we love these!

Of course, we photograph the whole group (no matter the size) together but we also shoot to show off each individual relationship and also give everyone their very own minute in the spotlight for a solo photo shoot.

Now accepting applications for class of 2021/22 senior models & influencers HERE.

| Aly | Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior Model | 2020 |

Today, I get to share Aly with you! She’s a Warrensburg-Latham High School senior and one of our class of 2020 senior models! And what’s I’d call a second-gen SJP senior as I first photographed her older sister’s senior portraits a few years ago. I was so excited to work with this family again as they are always a blast and Aly did an amazing job at every single session.

Plus, since we loved a ton and they selected an album to feature ALL their favorites I get to share them all with you here too (YAY)…

One thing I’m loving about the new studio space is the options it gives us for a variety of looks even before we break out any backdrops… natural window light, barn doors, the feature staircase! So many options that are 100% unique for our SJP seniors.

And last but not least, how about a throwback to the first few sessions with Aly at her debut headshot session and freezing cold Indianapolis sessions. I’m so not kidding when I talk about how much these ‘kids’ change over their last few years of high school and that’s why I love that we kick off working with so many senior models & influencers at the end of their sophomore years. Class of 2021/22 can apply to join us NOW!

| Holly | Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior 2018 |

Today I get to share Holly’s senior portraits with you!!! Her session was so much fun! We started in studio for a few classic looks and to show off her trophy and metal stash as she’s one fabulous athlete.

Then we headed downtown to create a few edgier looks and explored a few new locations.

And to finish out her session we popped over to Hickory Point Golf Course. She runs cross country meets there so we wanted to keep things authentic with that look and were able to create a few nature looks along the way.

I’m so ready to show off Jaiden’s senior portraits to you today. I have absolutely loved working with Jaiden over the past year. She was one of the first in our class of 2018 model program so that means we kicked off her senior portrait experience in January this year. My favorite part about our senior models who dive into the process early is we get to create images of them over the course of their senior year and boy do they change a LOT.

Jaiden’s first session was her 5 minute first look session here in the studio last winter. 2017-11-28_0024

Then not long after this we got just a tiny bit of snow and I got a new lens and wanted to play a bit so Jaiden and Payton (our first two models) got in on our very first pop up session. Pop up sessions were brand new to our 2018 senior model program and have been really fun. They are random unplanned sessions that just pop up throughout the year and give us a chance to do something fun, for the models to hang out a bit and do things like shoot in the snow!

Jaiden’s next sessions were our model group session downtown and then we did a super fun best friend session with her friends and they made their own floral crowns. And the last pop up session Jaiden made it to was our fair session which includes some very messy ice cream cone photos. The idea was solid but with super hot muggy weather in practice the ice cream shoot ended up being a lot of laughs and some very messy drippy fun.

Then it was time for Jaiden’s senior portrait sessions. We did three sessions just for Jaiden over the course of this past year and the latest one had the biggest change for sure (check out that hair chop!). But first, we started in the studio for some timeless classic looks before heading out the the Garden Path for her spring session. I have to give a shout out to the wonderful owners at the Garden Path who are always beyond welcoming whether we are there for a wedding or session. They have absolutely stunning grounds and are quite talented with all they do.

I love it when mommas (or any friends/family) come along on sessions but I’m always likely to get them in on an image or two. The people in your life are so important and time flies by and things change so fast, especially with seniors who are about to set off on their own. So any chance I can I try to capture this moment right now with the people you love most.

With so many images over the past year Jaiden’s album was a really fun one to design and I’m excited she’ll have over 40 pages of images to enjoy and share with her friends/family in the years to come as she changes even more!
