| Hannah | Second Senior Session | Decatur IL Senior Photographer |

I just finished up Hannah’s full 60-page album design and I LOVE it! This design pushed me to get creative and stay creative to make each design unique on it’s own yet coordinate with all the others.

One thing that I love that Hannah did from her session is create a feature image for her to take with her to college (in her college gear – see those images and her full first session here), plus we created two wall collages for her to keep here at home. I love this because senior images are a really fun transition between your childhood chapter and your adult chapter so I like that she left some behind for her (and mom) to enjoy at home and took some with her to have a piece of her past there too.

I posted about the below images a while back on our facebook page. I realized I’ve talked up sunset sessions a lot and had some clients concerned their images would be ‘less-than’ if we didn’t have a sunset session open for them. That is SO not the case! Hannah’s session started 3 HOURS before sunset, but I chose a location I knew had a bit of an early sunset look since it’s very wooded and sort of in a little valley and even hours before sunset we can create looks like this with the right location and lighting. No matter what time of day your session is, it’s always my job to make your images ones you will LOVE so don’t you worry if it’s sunrise, sunset or noon I will do just that!

| TaNia | MacArthur High School Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2018 |

Today I get to share the lovely Ms. TaNia with you all! She and her momma have been so fun to work with this year and I’ve loved having her on our model team. You may remember some of her BFF session images as well as her model debut but today I get to share the whole shebang!

We started her session in downtown Decatur. I just love the classic and elegant look of columns and limestone and downtown offers so much variety we mixed in some brick, glass for some fun reflections and even some more natural looks in central park! Check out TaNia’s style too. I love the bright bold colors of her first outfit and the striking red dress looks like something right out of Hollywood.

Once we finished up downtown we headed out to the always beautiful Allerton! Be sure to head over to our Facebook Page and IG to give TaNia some love and see her album design soon!

| Kenzie | Central A & M High School Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2018 |

Are you ready to see Kenzie’s whole senior portrait experience today?!?! Kenzie was a great part of our class of 2018 senior model team. She was so fun to work with and is the sweetest! First a few from her model pop up sessions… I loved her ‘little black dress’ look for our downtown group session (aren’t those dress sleeves cute!). And Kenzie also made it to our fair session but not until just after dark so she got some unique firework images.

Be sure to check out her BFF session images too! We combined her and Alaina’s session with all their friends and it was a blast. Then it was time for her senior sessions. Our first session, despite 0% chance of rain even as I drove to location got a little wet! We started downtown and not long after kicking off the session were caught in a random downpour! Luckily, we were able to keep to the overhangs on buildings and the transfer house for the most part and still create the images we wanted before heading inside to the studio.

On her next session day I ventured a bit closer to her down in Shelbyville. I absolutely love getting down there to use locations I don’t get to use all the time including this beautiful garden area and Shelbyville lake. We had a gorgeous day for her session complete with lovely sunset!

Last, but not least, we finished up her urban session (since our first was cut a bit short by rain) with a bit more grungy look at one of my favorite Decatur locations. Be sure to give Kenzie some love over on our facebook page where you can see more of her session and let her know what you think!

Kenzie’s album might be one of my favorites this year… check it out!

| Jasmyn | Mt. Zion Senior Model 2018 |

It’s Jasmyn’s day in the spotlight on the blog today! I have had so much fun creating her images over the past year. We did a little bit of everything for Jasmyn’s sessions… a few downtown Decatur, some in-studio of course and then we ventured to Fort Daniel, Allerton and a friend’s farm to create a variety of nature looks complete with TWO sunsets (the first a bit cloudy).

Take a look at everything we created for Jasmyn! I can’t wait to have her album finished soon with all these images.

| McKinnley | Mt. Zion High School Senior Model | Class of 2018 |

I have another lovely senior to show off to you today! McKinnley is one of our Mt. Zion High School class of 2018 senior models and has been so much fun to photograph. McKinnley’s been friends with Jasmyn, another of our 2018 senior models, FOREVER (seriously the images of these girls as little kids are adorable) so the girls were so excited to go through our model experience together, which as an added bonus meant we got to create a few images of the girls together on our group session days!

Isn’t she lovely (and I’m crazy jealous of that thick long hair which I swear was perfect in every image!).

Our fair group session was fun and the ice cream cones (in nearly 100 degree heat) was an interesting experiment in racing the clock on melting ice cream which proved ultimately more messy than cute but we learned that next time we’ll fake it with foam cones of some sort.

It’s hard to pic a favorite from her session but I’m loving the patriotic look with this flag scarf.

After our time around downtown Decatur we headed over to McKinnley’s grandparents house on lake Decatur for a beautiful sunset. And my favorite part of working in this personalized location is that McKinnley’s parents got married right under that tree by the lake and now we’ve added another milestone to remember there!

Be sure to head over to McKinnley’s facebook album to give her some love and take a look at what she had to say about her SJP experience:

Tell us about your experience about SJP. What did you like best? *	I absolutely LOVE the pop-up sessions. They are so fun and a great opportunity to meet other people your age from different schools. They are quick and easy and who doesn’t love a little extra opportunity to get dressed up 😉
What would you tell a friend who was considering coming to SJP for their portraits? *	I would tell them that Sarah Jane is the ONLY photographer for them. She is so fun and easy to talk to and work with. They will not be disappointed by choosing her over any other photographer.
What made you choose SJP for your portraits?	I chose SJP because my bestfriend Jasmyn became a senior model and told me that I should do it too. We have been bestfriends since we were 3 years old and I couldn’t resist doing one last thing with her before we graduate and have to part ways for college.
What could we have done differently to improve your portrait experience? *	I have not yet done my actual senior picture session but from what I have seen from the photos of myself so far, I love them!
