| Prom Portraits | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

This year we joined in with some other wonderful local businesses to provide an epic prom prize for one lucky high schooler and Ms. Morgan was the winner! Our part of her prize was a 30 minute prom-day session with her friends. We met this gorgeous group at the beautiful Scovill Gardens and it was fun to have two of my past seniors (Kaitlyn and Holly) in the group too!

| Brackett Family Portraits | Decatur IL Limited Edition Session |

I’m excited to share with you our latest session with the Brackett family. I’ve had the pleasure to work with Michelle and her lovely family a few times over the years and it’s always so much fun. We had beautiful fall colors at Fairview for our fall Limited Edition sessions and everyone looked adorable!

Of course, when we have the whole family together and all dressed up we make sure to get individual portraits of everyone! It only takes a few minutes and gives everyone their moment in the spotlight.

| Samuel | 2 Years Old | Jefferson City Missouri Photographer |

Today we have an awesome little guy to share with you on the blog today, I know him since he was the smallest baby and he has to use this small car seat from Babyzoom.net. I’ve loved watching him grow up over the last 2 years and he’s now definitely graduated out of our ‘baby’ program into a smart, fun and active little boy!

Many don’t know we have a full TWO year ‘baby grows’ program that includes a full newborn session, and 4 additional mini children’s sessions we suggest using for 4, 8, 12 and 24 months. This lets us follow your little one as they enter the world, discover their tiny hands/feet, sit up and start to explore the world around them, take their first tentative steps into that world and finally discover and share their unique personalities.

And don’t forget the family…. Your family changes over those two years as much as your little one does. For the Star family that means they just leveled up and welcomed a beautiful baby girl to their family but we were so happy to give Samuel his moment in the spotlight before his promotion to big brother.

And yes, you read that blog title right, this lovely family lives in Jefferson City, MO (my hometown) and though I don’t take a LOT of sessions back home each year I have a few opportunities to return and photograph on my old stomping grounds.
