| Emily | Central A & M Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2017 |

It’s time to see Emily’s senior portraits!!!!! This year I had not one, not two, but THREE lovely gals from Central A & M apply to be senior models and while I typically do not accept more than two seniors maximum from a particular school into the model program I just could not turn away one of these beautiful gals. They were all three SO different in style, interests/activities, personalities and even looks …. so this year we have 3 Central A & M models and I’m 100% thrilled with it!

You may remember Abby (posted just a few weeks ago) and we have Kaitlin coming up soon but right now it’s EMILY!!!!

She did a phenomenal job selecting unique outfits and my absolute favorite has to be this beautiful dress. It was perfect for field sunset portraits:

I knew I wanted to try out this new location and when Emily sent me her wardrobe I knew this would be a perfect fit for her neutral aztec pattern top – nothing goes better with a little aztec pattern than a little pop of turquoise! 2016-08-22_0005senior, outdoor senior, photos, pictures, pics, professional photos, central il photos, SJP, Sarah Jane Photography, professional photographer, decatur il, senior 2016, window pics, close up shoot, senior pics, colorful photography, sunset pictures, outdoor sunset, trees in background photosOk this might be my second favorite outfit of Emily’s… those gold bands!!! <3 And I just love her curls so that middle portrait is one of my absolute favorites!

We ended Emily’s session with an unexpected water excursion. 99% of the time when we add water into a session it’s preplanned. This time, we just happened to be in the right place at the right time and when she pulled this out for her last outfit I pitched the idea of diving in (literally) and she was game…. I’m SO glad she said yes to those, it was a blast!

| Katie | Senior Portraits Decatur IL |

Today I’m excited to show off some of Katie’s favorite images from her senior session! She was such a sweetheart and I had a blast photographing her in the studio this month. I met Katie and her sister at last year’s Neuhoff Media’s Lady Palooza where they both jumped in and pre-booked Katie’s senior session and her sister’s family session (coming up this fall). I just love it when new clients love the work and we click right away (one of my favorite parts of those shopping nights is chatting with new people!!).

| Morrison Family | Decatur IL Family Portraits |

This beautiful family came to me to create some VERY important images which would be their last with their beautiful dog Scout. Having two aging dogs of my own who are very much a part of my family I’m always extremely honored when clients call upon me at these sad times. Scout is now forever with the Morrison family on their walls (and in their hearts of course).

Plus, we had to get some images of just the kids while we had them out and all cleaned up nice! This whole family was wonderful to work with and I’m so glad I got the chance to meet Scout and work with them.

| Carly | Senior Class of 2017 | Decatur IL |

Check out Carly’s senior portraits! I was so excited when Carly and her dad came in to design her session and she started talking about what she had in mind for her portraits and wanting to feature a few things that were important to her like her church. Well what better way to feature that than to have part of the session at the church! GT church is lovely outside so it was a beautiful location for her session. And since she wanted a little water too we headed over to Rock Springs to finish out her session.

This lovely lady is currently in Army National Guard basic training so we want to wish her luck, hope it’s going well and thank her for her choice to serve our country!

| Rachel | Maroa-Forsyth Senior 2016 | Sarah Jane Photography |

Rachel was so much fun to photograph. We started here in the studio then ventured out to downtown for a little bit of the city feel before finishing up the session at the always beautiful Allerton Park. Since I’ve shot at Allerton a lot we decided to stop at a different area of the park to get a unique look for her session and I LOVED it! maroa-forsyth senior, senior portraits, sjanephotography, decatur il, decatur photographer, senior portraits, senior photographers, studio portraits, allerton park

Plus, her session wasn’t complete without adding in a few with Lucy her adorable bulldog! You can see more from Rachel’s session on our Facebook Page.
