| Emily | Central A & M Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2017 |

It’s time to see Emily’s senior portraits!!!!! This year I had not one, not two, but THREE lovely gals from Central A & M apply to be senior models and while I typically do not accept more than two seniors maximum from a particular school into the model program I just could not turn away one of these beautiful gals. They were all three SO different in style, interests/activities, personalities and even looks …. so this year we have 3 Central A & M models and I’m 100% thrilled with it!

You may remember Abby (posted just a few weeks ago) and we have Kaitlin coming up soon but right now it’s EMILY!!!!

She did a phenomenal job selecting unique outfits and my absolute favorite has to be this beautiful dress. It was perfect for field sunset portraits:

I knew I wanted to try out this new location and when Emily sent me her wardrobe I knew this would be a perfect fit for her neutral aztec pattern top – nothing goes better with a little aztec pattern than a little pop of turquoise! 2016-08-22_0005senior, outdoor senior, photos, pictures, pics, professional photos, central il photos, SJP, Sarah Jane Photography, professional photographer, decatur il, senior 2016, window pics, close up shoot, senior pics, colorful photography, sunset pictures, outdoor sunset, trees in background photosOk this might be my second favorite outfit of Emily’s… those gold bands!!! <3 And I just love her curls so that middle portrait is one of my absolute favorites! Plus she has the BEST laugh face so that bottom left… LOVE IT!

We ended Emily’s session with an unexpected water excursion. 99% of the time when we add water into a session it’s preplanned. This time, we just happened to be in the right place at the right time and when she pulled this out for her last outfit I pitched the idea of diving in (literally) and she was game…. I’m SO glad she said yes to those, it was a blast!

I am absolutely in LOVE with the Nash Family’s Session! Not only did they invite me once again to photograph at their beautiful home and family land (with this amazing old barn) but we had perfect weather AND even included a spunky little piglet in the most adorable red wagon. Like what is not to love about all this?!?!

You might remember Rebekah’s senior session this year (if not, you can take a look at some of her images in our senior model post and our album design post). I think the time around senior year is the perfect time for family portraits before seniors leave the nest and set out on their own and change the dynamic of your home! This is sort of the last year they are under your wing in your home before embarking on their own lives.

And the best news of all…. I LOVE this pine tree lane SO much that we are planning our November fall/Christmas family Limited Edition sessions right there!!! How about red antique couch, adorable blankets and maybe even some Christmas ornaments hanging in those trees!?!?! It’s going to be awesome (but space will be limited, so we are already booking NOW).
