| 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.

I’m super excited to get back to sessions next week after a bit of time off with our new little one. If you’re a 2019 senior give us a call, we’ve still got a few summer dates and are booking into the fall now and can definitely make room for YOU!

| James | Class of 2018 High School Senior Portraits | Decatur IL |

Today, I’m sharing James’ senior album with you all! Our albums are a product that nearly every one of our senior clients selects and with options from 14″ metal cover Italian-made designer albums down to 6″ pocket albums we’ve got an option for everyone to take home one of these custom-designs. They are one of my favorite items to create for clients since I know loose portraits can easily end up dusty in a box under the bed, digital images are more often than not never even downloaded and I haven’t had a client yet with enough wall space to feature 30-50 of their images all at once!

So albums give us the chance to highlight ALL your favorite images in a custom-design that’s easy to display on an easel on a bookshelf or even out on the coffee table. Plus, we want to plan for now, for this session and this kiddo, but albums help us plan for all future sessions too. Imagine all your family’s milestones… senior years, engagements, weddings, new additions, growing kiddos, etc all ready and at your fingertips in your matching albums over the years. It’s hard to make time to scrapbook or make these yourself (I know, I do this for a living and STILL haven’t made my wedding album yet!) so this takes the work out of it and instead of a project we provide you with the finished legacy instead.

One of my favorite things about James’ session is that we worked in his bass fishing! This is the first session I’ve done with a bass boat and though we had a TON of fog for his early morning session it made for a really cool session!

I also had some fun creating sunlight where there was NONE. The fog was THICK all morning on this day and they’d really hoped for some sunshine (what’s the fun of getting up for a sunrise session with no sun right). So I decided to create a little (see the last album design above).

| Garett | Argenta-Oreana High School |

Today I get to share Garett’s senior portraits with you! We might have had a chilly dreary day (nothing like the 80 degrees and sunshine that decided to show up this week!!!) but we definitely made the best of it. Early spring sessions can be a bit unpredictable but by this time of the year I’m always itching to get the camera back in my hands and get outside after mostly indoor sessions all winter long.

We kicked off Garett’s session at the high school to feature his two sports, baseball and football. Construction on the brand new field made things interesting but a very accomodating construction crew let us get what we needed on the bleachers while they worked!

After finishing at the school we headed over to Whitmore Park. This little park is one of my favorite little forgotten spaces over here. I love it for spectacular fall colors in it’s nice dense forest but even this time of year it gives us such variety and being one of the less visited parks in town we often have the place all to ourselves for sessions (and play days for me and B too!). Garett chose this park as his second location because it’s a favorite spots to take his pup for walks.

You may remember the Morrison’s first session with me a couple years ago. I was so thrilled to work with them again for Garett’s senior portraits.

| Logan | Maroa-Forsyth High School | Senior Portraits |

Today it’s time to show off Logan! I’ve had the chance to work with his family a couple times over the past few years to create their family portraits as well as his sister’s senior portraits. And this year it was Logan’s turn. Being a tri-sport athlete we worked in a few sessions over the past year to fall within each sport season.

We also included his girlfriend during our spring session and they are just adorable together! Ryan and I dated in high school and I SO wish we’d gotten images together at one of our senior sessions (but so glad we have all our formal dance portraits to giggle at now!).

| Ryan | Mahomet Seymour High School | Senior Model Class of 2018 |

Today I get to show off Ryan, our class of 2018 senior guy model! Our model team has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years yet each year we always have our token one guy. We actually have a lot of fun with that since at all the group shoots our one guy gets to hang out in the middle of all our gals. We’ve continued this trend so far with Clayton joining our class of 2019 model team and Jacob our class of 2020 as our token guys.

The model session worked out perfectly for Ryan since we were able to split his senior session up over the year to showcase his multi-sport talent. This guy is a tri-sport athlete playing baseball, football AND basketball, that may make scheduling a bit tricky but it sure did give us a lot of variety in images to create.

I had the pleasure to work with Ryan’s family a few years ago for his older sister so we knew going in that we’d create a similar album to match what we created for her and that worked out perfectly with them loving nearly 100 of his images. And they chose my favorite of our album styles which is hand crafted in Italy with a really stunning metal/glass image cover that’s a show-stopper even before it’s opened!
