| Mia + Tristin | Prom Portraits 2019 |

Ok I have to say I’m a little bit jealous of Mia & Tristin’s prom portraits. Believe it or not, my husband and I started dating in high school and went to at least a half dozen dances together including two proms and I SO wish that having a prom session was a thing back then. We have the one formal portrait taken at the dance and sure a few (not great at all) snapshots from my mom but ahhh a session like THIS!!!!! I would have loved that!

These guys were looking so good they even stopped traffic for a bit, no joke!

I actually photographed Tristin’s family portraits years ago so it was amazing to see how much he’s grown up.

We have a unique option for prom portrait sessions and though we aren’t always available on every prom date, if we plan ahead we can often make ourselves available on yours! Call early if you’re thinking about a prom session with your friends or boy/girl friend!

| McKinnley | Mt. Zion High School Senior Model | Class of 2018 |

I have another lovely senior to show off to you today! McKinnley is one of our Mt. Zion High School class of 2018 senior models and has been so much fun to photograph. McKinnley’s been friends with Jasmyn, another of our 2018 senior models, FOREVER (seriously the images of these girls as little kids are adorable) so the girls were so excited to go through our model experience together, which as an added bonus meant we got to create a few images of the girls together on our group session days!

Isn’t she lovely (and I’m crazy jealous of that thick long hair which I swear was perfect in every image!).

Our fair group session was fun and the ice cream cones (in nearly 100 degree heat) was an interesting experiment in racing the clock on melting ice cream which proved ultimately more messy than cute but we learned that next time we’ll fake it with foam cones of some sort.

It’s hard to pic a favorite from her session but I’m loving the patriotic look with this flag scarf.

After our time around downtown Decatur we headed over to McKinnley’s grandparents house on lake Decatur for a beautiful sunset. And my favorite part of working in this personalized location is that McKinnley’s parents got married right under that tree by the lake and now we’ve added another milestone to remember there!

Be sure to head over to McKinnley’s facebook album to give her some love and take a look at what she had to say about her SJP experience:

Tell us about your experience about SJP. What did you like best? *

I absolutely LOVE the pop-up sessions. They are so fun and a great opportunity to meet other people your age from different schools. They are quick and easy and who doesn’t love a little extra opportunity to get dressed up 😉

What would you tell a friend who was considering coming to SJP for their portraits? *

I would tell them that Sarah Jane is the ONLY photographer for them. She is so fun and easy to talk to and work with. They will not be disappointed by choosing her over any other photographer.

What made you choose SJP for your portraits?

I chose SJP because my bestfriend Jasmyn became a senior model and told me that I should do it too. We have been bestfriends since we were 3 years old and I couldn’t resist doing one last thing with her before we graduate and have to part ways for college.

What could we have done differently to improve your portrait experience? *

I have not yet done my actual senior picture session but from what I have seen from the photos of myself so far, I love them!

| Abby F | Senior Class of 2017 | Central A & M High School |

I’m so excited to share Abby’s senior portraits with you!!! She is an absolute sweetheart and has been so fun to work with. One of her first experiences with SJP was literally being a part of our parachute dress with Kayle. Pretty much EVERY shot with Kayle in her pink Terani Couture dress had Abby UNDER the dress holding her up or fluffing it out. She was a HUGE help and 100% on board to jumping in to be hands on! (You can see more of her model images and the parachute shoot HERE).

I was so excited to get to Abby’s time in the spotlight and she was a blast to photograph. We wanted something personal to her so not only did we highlight a bit of who she was (great athlete & FFA gal) in the studio but we also highlighted a bit of her family story by photographing part of her session at her grandparent’s house with their Forlines Farms semi!!! (Plus a bunny!! Seriously fun session guys!).
