the latest in-studio & on-location MO, IL and beyond
Oh boy do I have some images to share with you guys today!!! Ahhhh, I met Hannah at Malydia’s BFF session last year and have gotten to work with her ever since as one of our 2020 senior models. We’ve had beautiful SUNRISE (yup, early morning for us but so worth it!) light, flowers, water (even all the way UNDER it) and her adorable pup. It was so much fun to work with her and I’m thrilled to show off all her favorite images here with you today!
Sorry guys but today’s blog post is going to make you hella hungry! I’ve been trying to take better care of myself seriously for the past 6 months but I’m a lover of SWEETS especially chocolate. So Annie and her Perfectly Protein treats entered my life at just the right time.
Honestly, I was skeptical. I mean I LOVE dessert, and substitutes have always tasted like just that, a lesser version that absolutely did not take the place in the long term of my want for the real thing. Well ya’ll, I swear this is some kind of voodoo magic and everything we’ve tasted from Annie has been fabulous and I have no need to go back to any of that junk I wanted before. My all time favorites are these donuts (like mouth watering just writing that).
But today I’m sharing her keto snickers with you! The nature of photographing food is once I photograph it, it’s mine (you really don’t want it after I’ve handled it for the shoot I promise) and even just licking my fingers while working with these had me close to diving in before I finished up. The family was a fan of me bringing my work home after this too.
Annie says she’s passionate about feeding others and it makes her happy to feed people with her healthy local ingredients! She’s gone from making protein fat bombs to now a whole line of keto desserts.
Now, want to know the deets?!? >>>>>>>>>
I’m excited to share Mahala’s senior session with you all today! I met her family a few years ago when her sister Kayle was one of our senior models. And then I got to photograph her for the first time at their family session that year. This beautiful family moved to sunny Florida (#jealous) so getting the chance to create again for them wasn’t on my radar making Alicia’s message about planning Mahala’s session such a wonderful surprise.
We had a small window of time to work with while they were in the state, but that was no problem (thank goodness weather worked out for us!). It was so much fun to hang out with Mahala AND her sis and momma joined us on session too so I got to hang with them all for a bit! Now, her canvases and album are all being carefully printed and will be in the mail on their way to Florida in the next few days so it’s time to share the whole thing with you guys too!
My vote for their next family session is a destination session for me in Florida 😉 #soundslikeaplantome !!!
Alleson’s senior album design is complete and headed off to be beautifully printed this week so now I get to share it all with you guys here. We explored a bit further down an alley downtown than I have wandered in the past and were rewarded with a few gorgeous brick walls and beautiful light!
Then for a little variety we headed out to a wild nature location that didn’t disappoint either… sunset, tall grasses and even some flowers. Alleson has been a really fun part of our model team this year. I just love photographing her with her absolutely stunning blue eyes and vibrant smile. I hope you love her images as much as I do. <3
And these are the last few of their favorite images (which we featured in individual prints outside their album design):
You can see ALL of Alleson’s images in her video on our Facebook Page HERE!

Today, I get to share Aly with you! She’s a Warrensburg-Latham High School senior and one of our class of 2020 senior models! And what’s I’d call a second-gen SJP senior as I first photographed her older sister’s senior portraits a few years ago. I was so excited to work with this family again as they are always a blast and Aly did an amazing job at every single session.
Plus, since we loved a ton and they selected an album to feature ALL their favorites I get to share them all with you here too (YAY)…
One thing I’m loving about the new studio space is the options it gives us for a variety of looks even before we break out any backdrops… natural window light, barn doors, the feature staircase! So many options that are 100% unique for our SJP seniors.
And last but not least, how about a throwback to the first few sessions with Aly at her debut headshot session and freezing cold Indianapolis sessions. I’m so not kidding when I talk about how much these ‘kids’ change over their last few years of high school and that’s why I love that we kick off working with so many senior models & influencers at the end of their sophomore years. Class of 2021/22 can apply to join us NOW!
