| Alex | Warrensburg-Latham High School Class of 2016 Senior |

This time of year is always bitter sweet for me! As I get excited to say hello to a new class of seniors, I get nostalgic looking back at the previous class and as we finalize things like graduation cards and such it’s a reminder that their families are all about to send their ‘babies’ out into the world.

Alex, is one of my last few class of 2016 seniors and I’m excited to show you some of our favorite images from his session. I love that as we started Alex’s Premiere his lovely momma mentioned ‘I think I like him smiling best.’ and ‘I’ll likely only do 1-2 black and whites.’ Well as we were finishing up I pointed out that we had quite a few black and whites and many with Alex not smiling. I just wanted to be sure she noticed and was 100% pleased with her choices and she absolutely was! That’s one of the many reasons we walk through the Premiere viewings with our clients together AND take a variety of poses and expressions on the session because choosing what you like or want BEFORE seeing the images is hard and often, the images change your mind.

It’s always fun for me to see which images my clients fall in love with and I think Marianne did a great job selecting these!

| Connor | Senior Portraits 2016 | Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

You all know I love traipsing all over town (and even out of town) to create images for my clients, but not every senior (especially senior guy) is super stoked to have their portrait taken four hours … shocker I know! But it’s for this reason that I offer mini sessions and our quick and easy ‘Simple’ senior session. This option worked perfectly for Connor and we were able to quickly and easily create a variety of images right here in the studio! This means senior was happy (that we were fast) and mom was happy (that we created a variety of looks to capture this time in Connor’s life).

| Jaylan | Senior Photos Decatur IL | Sarah Jane Photography |

Well you can’t tell it from these photos because of how awesome Jaylan rocked his senior session but it was FREEZING! I had two senior guys scheduled for a random cold day this fall (like seriously cold, it snowed!) and both toughed it out and did an amazing job not looking cold.

I loved Jaylan’s style (we had a lot of fun with that hat!) and he was a natural in front of the camera. I was excited to be able to show off his car to add even more personality to his session (there’s nothing quite like a boy’s first car).

Check out a few of our favorites here and be sure to head over to the Sarah Jane Photography facebook page to view more in his personal gallery.

| Chris | Warresnburg-Latham High School Senior 2014 | Sarah Jane Photography

 

Chris was all smiles throughout his senior session, which was awesome! He was so relaxed and had great natural expressions and plenty of laughs when we’d try to get a serious look. 😉 We had a great time hanging around some Decatur alleys near downtown then heading out to Rock Springs for a little more natural look.

Be sure to head over to the Sarah Jane Photography facebook page to view a LOT more from Chris’s session (like really, a LOT, Chris opted for the full facebook collection which means we posted ALL his favorites!).
