| Kayle | Mt. Zion Senior Model Class of 2017 |

It’s Kayle’s day in the spotlight today!!! This gorgeous gal is one of our Class of 2017 Senior Models and I’ve had so much fun photographing her over the past few months. We started on a CRAZY windy day at the Decatur Airport and had some fun with our parachute dresses, she rocks the runway look like a pro!

Most of our favorite images from Kayle’s session were at the always beautiful Allerton Park, her outfits meshed perfectly with the variety of scenery at Allerton and we have to give a huge shout out to Katie F at Mint Salon for doing a fabulous job on Kayle’s hair and makeup too. We finished out Kayle’s last session with a beautiful and personal location – her grandparent’s farm. Though central Illinois offers a variety of beautiful locations, parks, etc nothing beats a location that’s part of your family! We had a gorgeous day (a little HOT but we survived!), pretty evening light and perfect scenery at the farm. The images at the farmhouse are probably my absolute favorite from all of Kayle’s sessions.

Don’t forget to head over to our facebook page to give Kayle some love with your likes, comments and shares!

| Emily | Central A & M Senior Model Portraits | Class of 2017 |

It’s time to see Emily’s senior portraits!!!!! This year I had not one, not two, but THREE lovely gals from Central A & M apply to be senior models and while I typically do not accept more than two seniors maximum from a particular school into the model program I just could not turn away one of these beautiful gals. They were all three SO different in style, interests/activities, personalities and even looks …. so this year we have 3 Central A & M models and I’m 100% thrilled with it!

You may remember Abby (posted just a few weeks ago) and we have Kaitlin coming up soon but right now it’s EMILY!!!!

She did a phenomenal job selecting unique outfits and my absolute favorite has to be this beautiful dress. It was perfect for field sunset portraits:

I knew I wanted to try out this new location and when Emily sent me her wardrobe I knew this would be a perfect fit for her neutral aztec pattern top – nothing goes better with a little aztec pattern than a little pop of turquoise! Ok this might be my second favorite outfit of Emily’s… those gold bands!!! <3 And I just love her curls so that middle portrait is one of my absolute favorites! Plus she has the BEST laugh face so that bottom left… LOVE IT!
Jump perfection: Red lipstick + gold bands + water… YES please! We ended Emily’s session with an unexpected water excursion. 99% of the time when we add water into a session it’s preplanned. This time, we just happened to be in the right place at the right time and when she pulled this out for her last outfit I pitched the idea of diving in (literally) and she was game…. I’m SO glad she said yes to those, it was a blast!

It’s been so fun to photograph Emily and even to get to know some of her friends on her BFF day photo shoot! Don’t forget to check out more seniors and other recent work on our Facebook Page.

| Katie | Senior Portraits Decatur IL |

Today I’m excited to show off some of Katie’s favorite images from her senior session! She was such a sweetheart and I had a blast photographing her in the studio this month. I met Katie and her sister at last year’s Neuhoff Media’s Lady Palooza where they both jumped in and pre-booked Katie’s senior session and her sister’s family session (coming up this fall). I just love it when new clients love the work and we click right away (one of my favorite parts of those shopping nights is chatting with new people!!).

| Senior Best Friend Sessions | Limited Edition Mini Event |

I’m so excited to share with you some of our favorite images from this year’s BFF day sessions! I’ve always let our seniors include a friend or sibling in their senior session but this year I took it a step further and hosted a BFF day for our seniors to bring in their friends for 30 minutes in the spotlight and it was a blast!

One thing about BFF sessions is you have to pose CLOSE so we laughed that if these girls weren’t friends before the session they were going to be after! With my own high school 10 year reunion just last weekend (and my BFF not only a girl I went to high school with but middle and grade school too!) these were such fun sessions because I know how in just a year so many of these girls will scatter across the state, the country and even the world. Though they may stay in touch and even some may stay close, the days of seeing eachother every day in the halls are coming to a close for most of them in just a few short months.

Soak up these times ladies, you are all fabulous!

I’m so in love with Alyssa’s sessions! She rocked her session and I don’t think she took a single bad image from either day, which made my job of editing them down impossible!! I seriously cannot wait to finish up her album because with all these images it’s sure to be a favorite of mine.
