| Darcy | Warrensburg-Latham High School Senior 2018 |

Check out Darcy’s senior session! Don’t you just love her hair, the braids were such a fun touch. Darcy’s a senior at Warrensburg-Latham high school and we’re just a couple months away from the big graduation day for all you class of 2018 seniors.

Darcy, like a lot of our seniors, chose to mix it up with her session locations to get a bit of that great urban grunge texture along with the beautiful wild natural look of our conservation areas. And I just loved her style. It’s so eclectic we went from ripped jeans and leather jacket to school house prep to soft natural dresses to a bold pop of red at the end!

| Conn Family | Fall Family Portraits Decatur IL |

I now get to show off one of my favorite families, the Conn Family! You may remember Liz & Justin’s beautiful wedding day at the Millikin Homestead and their first family portraits here last year.

These poor guys froze their booties off last year with a crazy windy cold day so this year was a treat with mild weather and a beautiful day for their session! We even had some lovely fall colors even in mid-November for our Limited Edition sessions.

I’m a big fan of their card design and hope it filled their friends/family mailboxes with some smiles this year.

| Payton | Argenta-Oreana High School Senior Model | Class of 2018 | Decatur, IL |

The first of our class of 2018 senior models to make their debut on the blog is our very own Ms. Payton!

2017-08-17_0003You may remember her first moment in the SJP spotlight way back for her sophomore year prom when she won the Neuhoff media prom package which included a prom-day shoot with her date Austin (and we included him in a few of her senior portraits too)!

From there it wasn’t long before Payton was working as my assistant and modeling for me on a few projects including our parachute dress class in downtown Indianapolis with the Reset Conference. She’s even charmed our own little #BabyB and got to be her swim lesson teacher at fairview pool this summer!

So basically Payton has become a pretty awesome part of the SJP family (at home and work!) so it seemed fitting she be the first one up on the blog to kick off the class of 2018’s senior year.

Do you guys remember the ‘trash can image’ ?!? Austin joked when we got out of the car at the park that we had a great location right by the dumpster soooo I accepted that as a challenge to create something fun by it and this was the result:

Things have been BUSY around here all summer and I have SO many awesome things to show you from all our seniors… so let’s not wait! Check out all of Payton’s favorite images right here right now.

| Bailee | Senior Session Take 2 | Decatur IL |

Remember Bailee?!? This beautiful Sullivan high school senior had the first part of her session back in the summer but we knew we wanted to include her softball uniform and shoot some on the field at school so just a few weeks ago we finished up the second half of her session and it was perfect.

Despite all the rain we’ve had for what feels like the past month we actually did have a lovely day for her session and a beautiful sunset. I’m excited to finish up her album with these latest images with graduation right around the corner.
