I’m excited to share Mahala’s senior session with you all today! I met her family a few years ago when her sister Kayle was one of our senior models. And then I got to photograph her for the first time at their family session that year. This beautiful family moved to sunny Florida (#jealous) so getting the chance to create again for them wasn’t on my radar making Alicia’s message about planning Mahala’s session such a wonderful surprise.

We had a small window of time to work with while they were in the state, but that was no problem (thank goodness weather worked out for us!). It was so much fun to hang out with Mahala AND her sis and momma joined us on session too so I got to hang with them all for a bit! Now, her canvases and album are all being carefully printed and will be in the mail on their way to Florida in the next few days so it’s time to share the whole thing with you guys too!

My vote for their next family session is a destination session for me in Florida 😉 #soundslikeaplantome !!!

Alleson’s senior album design is complete and headed off to be beautifully printed this week so now I get to share it all with you guys here. We explored a bit further down an alley downtown than I have wandered in the past and were rewarded with a few gorgeous brick walls and beautiful light!

Then for a little variety we headed out to a wild nature location that didn’t disappoint either… sunset, tall grasses and even some flowers. Alleson has been a really fun part of our model team this year. I just love photographing her with her absolutely stunning blue eyes and vibrant smile. I hope you love her images as much as I do. <3

And these are the last few of their favorite images (which we featured in individual prints outside their album design):

You can see ALL of Alleson’s images in her video on our Facebook Page HERE!

| 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!

Cheyanne is in the spotlight on the blog today. She was fantastic in front of the camera, so comfortable and natural from the start! I had so much fun hanging out with her and her momma during the shoot and creating such variety with some edgier urban looks followed by the gorgeous floral/sunset nature looks.

Class of 2020 have you had your senior portrait experience yet??! Class of 2021/22 are you looking to maximize a full year (or two) portrait experience?!?! That’s just what we’re here for. We still have a few fall, winter and spring openings for you 2020 grads and this year is your time to step into the spotlight and show off who you are. Let us maximize your voice and create images that make you look and feel amazing.

| Kolapo | Senior Guy Portraits | Class of 2019 | Decatur IL |

It’s Kolapo’s day in the spotlight on the blog! One fun things about senior guy sessions is that their wardrobe changes are typically a little quicker than our senior gals, so we tend to be able to fit a LOT of work into a single session! We kicked things off with Kolapo at his home (they have some gorgeous land with a fun red barn) and that’s always a great plan for the family pets so they are comfortable in their own space. And can I just tell you I fell in love with Winston.
