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

It’s Alaina’s turn in the spotlight here on the blog today. I’ve had so much fun having her on the model team this year. She’s all smiles and so full of energy and super sweet. She’s a Central A & M High School senior so we split her session time between the downtown Decatur area and her own beautiful land (just love that lake and wheat field!) to make things a bit more personalized.

I hope you guys love her images as much as I do. And be sure to pop over to our facebook page and instagram to see even more images not found here!

Along with her senior portraits we had a best friend session combined with her co-model Makenzie. These girls were so much fun and were troopers working around the real life grungy alley to get such awesome textures/colors.

Today I get to show off the lovely Angelina to you all. She’s quite the talent on the flute, and avid reader and poet and I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see huge amazing things from her in the future. One of my favorite things about Angelina’s session is how much of her family she worked into her session to honor her heritage. First you’ll see the absolutely beautiful music box that belonged to her grandmother..

| Hunter M | Senior Class of 2017 Portraits | Decatur IL |

It’s Hunter’s moment in the spotlight on the SJP blog today! She’s a senior at Central A & M and is super talented. Not only does she play both school and club volleyball and cheer but is also a fantastic artist! She brought in a selection of her favorite art pieces for her session so I was able to create a few images that combined her art with mine.

This sunset image was probably my favorite combination. It completely took this image to a different level and my favorite part is that it made it much more unique and personal to her.

I did also really like the combo of the wolf and eye with this BoxDropsbySJP backdrop in a similar tone. Two of Hunter’s art pieces, plus a backdrop design by Punch & Sizzle all combined for my image… it’s like art overload!

Hunter’s also a big fan of mixing up her lip color so I loved the idea of doing a series of images to highlight that. My favorite ended up being the dark lip in black and white which is so bold yet a bit classic.

It’s Kayle’s day in the spotlight today!!! This gorgeous gal is one of our Class of 2017 Senior Models and I’ve had so much fun photographing her over the past few months. We started on a CRAZY windy day at the Decatur Airport and had some fun with our parachute dresses, she rocks the runway look like a pro!

Though central Illinois offers a variety of beautiful locations, parks, etc nothing beats a location that’s part of your family! We had a gorgeous day (a little HOT but we survived!), pretty evening light and perfect scenery at the farm. The images at the farmhouse are probably my absolute favorite from all of Kayle’s sessions. senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits, senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits, senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits, senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits, senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits, senior portraits, senior pictures, decatur il, sarah jane photography, oudoor portraits, senior poses, sarah jane photography, sjp, sjanephotography, family farm, outdoor portraits,
