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).

| Winholtz Family | Decatur Illinois Family Portraits at Imboden Gardens |

I was so excited when Sharon called me to talk about creating portraits for her WHOLE family! All three of her kids came in to visit (the farthest one from Colorado!) for Easter weekend which gave us the perfect opportunity to schedule their family session and to make things easier on Grandma we came to her at Imboden Gardens which gave us a beautiful background for photos and a quick easy stop for her. As I work on finishing up their order I wanted to share a few of our favorites with you.

| Dahn Family Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

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!

| Nefzger Family Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

Take a look at the Nefzger family!!! I had the pleasure to work with Karin and Lisa last year to create Lisa’s senior portraits and even had Lisa here in the office a bit working part time so I was so excited to get to work with the WHOLE Nefzger family to create these images.

Having a brand new family of our own I LOVE seeing all the stages of my client’s families from the beginnings with engagements, weddings and newborn portraits and I think the ‘adult kids’ stage is a really unique and important milestone to capture as well. Though you’ll always have parenting to do it’s now that you can watch your children begin to build their very own lives, but don’t forget to capture this fun time!!!

| Offermann Family Maternity Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

 

Aren’t these two adorable?!? Ashley enjoys photography too and we first met the first time I was invited to teach at the Decatur Camera Club. The Club is an awesome group of photography enthusiasts and I was excited to be able to work with Ashley for our fall family mini sessions this year!

Fall did come a little late this year but we were able to capture a little of the golden yellow on these trees for this early fall session and, of course, we had to include their gorgeous pup too! These two have now welcomed a beautiful baby boy into their family, congratulations to you both!

Head on over to the Sarah Jane Photography Facebook Page and check out their image gallery to show this family some love and give them some LIKES! And be sure to keep an eye out for our fall family mini sessions coming up in early fall 2014!
