| Starr | Newborn Portraits | Sarah Jane Photography | Jefferson City, MO |

So one of my most favorite things about my job is getting to share in huge milestone moments in my clients lives and getting to watch their families grow and change over the years. I went to high school with Pam and a few years ago her and Doug road tripped it up here to Decatur to have me create their engagement portraits (seriously humbling to have someone willing to drive 4+ hours for me to create their images!). I then had the chance to photograph their beautiful wedding in my home town of Jefferson City, MO and got to do what I don’t get to often and that’s photograph on the capital steps (where I shot some of my very first portraits when starting my business in high school).

Anyways…… fast forward to now and this lovely couple now has an absolutely adorable little boy! And once again I’ve had the honor to photograph a huge milestone in their lives (like HUGE… I totally get this now that we have #babyB in our lives). These two will make fabulous parents and I cannot wait to cuddle this little angel at 4, 8, 12 months and then again for his second birthday (it’s already in the books ya’ll, it’s happening!).

So without further adieu about about we see some newborn cuteness?!?!

Let me introduce you to the Dahn Family!!! You all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE when I can talk clients into bringing the WHOLE family to session and that means those furry family members too! Pretty much once I find out you have pets I set about trying to convince you that NOT bringing them to session is like leaving your 2 year old son out of the photos (which we know you’re not going to do!).

I absolutely loved working with this beautiful family and am so excited to share their images with you! And seriously go check out what this family does through Pawprints Ministries!

| Welcome Cole | Newborn Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

I was so so excited when Lindsay told me that their family of two was soon to become THREE! Right off the bat Lindsay and I started planning their sessions starting with announcement images, then maternity and finally newborn once Cole arrived (though we were all fairly certain that this little Mr. would actually be a little Mrs. – though obviously we were wrong!). I cannot wait to see this little man grow and watch these two be the awesome parents I know they will be!

I’m a sucker for a good momma/daughter session and I love working with these beautiful gals! You might remember Cassidy’s senior session last year, well she wanted a few more with some summer colors and we definitely needed to get her lovely mother in a few to capture their relationship so before fall snuck up on us we created these:

I worked with Amy to coordinate a family portrait session gift for her momma last Christmas and I’m so excited that we were able to get everyone together to complete it this summer! These guys are always looking good but they did a great job coordinating everyone and this time it was nice to have the boys along to carry that couch (at Jessie’s senior session Amy and I lugged it ourselves!).

I cannot wait to see how the wall art we designed looks hanging in their homes!
