| Ariel | Argenta-Oreana High School Senior Portraits | Class of 2017 |

Today it’s Ariel’s debut on the blog! Ariel, her mom and I had a fantastic time at Forsyth Park and around downtown Decatur creating her senior portraits. Her session kicked off with a bang with a snake sighting which propelled me and her mom into full on girl screams and ‘evacuation mode’ …. I took off so fast I left my lighting gear in the dust (Ariel who was unphased and laughing at our over the top reactions saved the day by going back over to the snake zone to rescue my gear!). Needless to say I think there’s one area of Forsyth park I think we’ll avoid from now on (we noticed quite a few holes that I’m now convinced were a little snake neighborhood – AHHH).

Anyways, enough about snakes, more about Ariel. Here are our favorite images from her session and you can see her proof show and MORE on our facebook page too!

| Tarrant Family Portraits | Decatur IL |

Katlyn was one of our stunning 2016 senior clients (See here session HERE) and this fall it was time to get the whole family in front of the camera. These girls are the sweetest and I had a blast hanging out with Katlyn and her mom for her portraits so I was thrilled to meet the guys in their lives for this go round.

Fall was a little odd this year so surprisingly this late October session is rocking a lot of green foliage but I think it ended up working perfectly with their olive wardrobe! Plus, despite some crazy wind we caught a lovely sunset.

| Tory | Senior Class of 2017 | Decatur IL |

Look who’s up on the blog today! Tory was so much fun to photograph. Not only did we create a few classic looks in the studio (even including her and my favorite color purple!) but we absolutely had to show off her soccer skills on the field and then my favorite part…. we headed out to a friend’s land which was unbelievably beautiful with tree line, field and even little lake!

We had a beautiful sunset which was perfect for images with her truck and she was even brave enough to hop in the water for a few.

| Samuel | 9 Months Old Fall Family Portraits |

Do you guys remember this adorable squishy little newborn Samuel? Well he’s definitely not so little anymore! I just had the chance to go home to Jefferson City to photograph his 9 month portraits and we let mommy and daddy join in too.

I cannot say how much I love being a part of this little guy’s first year and watching this family grow. So looking forward to his first birthday portraits which will be here before we know it!

Another perk to having a session back home is I got to shoot at the Runge Nature Center which I haven’t photographed at for years but was a staple location of my younger days.

| Kaitlin | Central A & M Senior Model | Class of 2017 |

I’m beyond excited to get to share this beautiful senior with you today. Kaitlin is one of our class of 2017 senior models and I’ve had the pleasure to photograph her a number of times throughout her senior year.

She was a part of our parachute dress model session at the Decatur Airport and for her senior session we spent a little time in the studio where we were sure to highlight her dancing talent along with creating a few colorful looks. I had the most fun out around town though. We stopped at a little rustic place I’d been itching to have the right session for and I think it worked perfectly for a casual look for her and we spent the rest of our time (spring and this fall) creating a variety of nature looks at a number of beautiful areas around town.

I also had the chance to photograph Kaitlin with her best friends at her BFF session!

Take a look at all her favorites and be sure to head over to our Facebook Page to show her some love with your likes, comments and shares.
