| Jaren | Class of 2018 Senior Session | Decatur IL |

We had a perfect day for Jaren’s senior session this spring. He’s definitely got his serious ‘model face’ on lock but it was super fun to get his great smile and laugh on camera too. We wandered around a few of my favorite alleyways around Decatur for his session to get some urban texture. As you can see he’s a bit of a Bulls/Jordan fan so since it’s always my goal to showcase not only what you look like but who you are in your images it was a great fit to add in that interest to his wardrobe.

| Andrew | Warrensburg-Latham High School | Senior 2018 |

So while senior portraits are inherently a bit more of a bit ordeal for the ladies (mostly just due to the plethora of outfits to fit in and the to do of hair and makeup), but that doesn’t make them any less important for the guys! But a little perk of being a guy is the ability to flawlessly complete your session in crazy wind. You’d never know it from the images here but we were all about to blow over and I even had Andrew toss his cell phone in his hoodie hood just to keep it from slapping him in the face (no joke, sometimes we have to MacGyver a few things).

And don’t worry guys, if being on camera for 4 hours doesn’t sound like your idea of a great Tuesday afternoon we’ve have a simple 45 minute session that’s a big winner with our guy clients. All these looks we fit into that quick session and all at the high school, easy-peasy! We knew for Andrew’s session we wanted to highlight baseball so photographing at the school was an obvious choice but baseball isn’t the ONLY aspect of his high school life so we were able to work around other areas of the school to get some plain-clothes looks and even work in his grandfather’s car.

| Warrensburg-Latham High School Class of 2018 & Senior Model Graduation Portraits |

Being out of the office a bit with our new little girl means this graduation post is coming just a few weeks after graduation but I wanted to take just a quick second to say CONGRATULATIONS to the class of 2018 graduates of Warrensburg-Latham High School.

Plus, props to these three gals (including one of our own seniors Holly) who made it to Valedictorian, that’s a great accomplishment ladies. You might recall a recent post where we highlighted all the senior headshots we created for this class of seniors, well on graduation day I head back to WLHS to create their senior class portrait and it’s so fun to see all the students on such an exciting day before the set out into the world for their next big adventures.

** Administrators/parents if YOUR child’s school is looking for a bit more from their senior (or underclassmen) yearbook portraits we have openings for more school headshots in 2018. We have options for full studio setup AT school to make things simple and easy and starting February 2019 we’ll have in-studio session dates available at our brand new studio!

| Jacey | Meridian High School Senior Portraits | Decatur IL |

I cannot tell you how much I LOVED Jacey’s session! Of course Katie did a perfect job on her hair and makeup and we kicked things off downtown for a little urban grunge look which I loved with her volleyball net and her classy urban styles. Her and her momma were so much fun to hang out with and the session flew by, PLUS at her second location I got to meet her two super sweet and polar opposite pups!!

One little thing I LOVE about being a photographer who favors additional lighting on our sessions is that it gives us a chance to create a variety of looks in one location. The next two sets of images were taken basically in the same place on the same white brick wall but with some flash we were able to completely mix up the look to make things a bit darker and edgier for her volleyball uniform and make things a little more light and airy and natural to fit her next look. All without needing to spend 20 minutes to walk to a different location! We even used the same rolled fence in the below left and above left image with completely different lighting to achieve a good variety in her volleyball team photos. One of my favorite things to do on session is shoot as many unique looks as we can in just a few hours. Most of my seniors choose our 2 or 4 hour sessions and we get a TON of variety in that time to show off all their eclectic personalities.
