Sarah (Class of 2017) | Southern Illinois Senior Photographer (August 2016)

I got to photograph gorgeous Sarah!  I have known Sarah and her family for years, and I can't believe she is going to be a senior.  Miss Sarah is beautiful inside and out.  She is a sweetheart, an animal lover, and smart to boot!  I was lucky enough to get to have her in two classes last year, and selfishly I'm going to miss her this year!  I wish this sweet girl only the best in whatever comes her way!  I know, without a doubt, she'll do great things! :)

Sarah decided we would take some photos around her house.  The location was beautiful with barns, beautiful pastures, and lots of critters!  Sarah is an avid horse rider, and she also shows horses and ropes.  She wanted some pictures with three of her horses - her old horse, the one she currently rides, and the sweet little pony she had since she was little.

After taking some pictures with her horses, we decided to head out to the cow pasture to see if she could get some pictures with the cows.  I may have got a little distracted with the adorable baby calf - I love animals (especially baby animals - isn't it adorable!?). :)

Sarah in action!  I love this picture - it looks like it could've been taken in another era.  Insert song here - "That Girl is a Cowboy." :)  

Sarah has been an active member in FFA throughout high school so we wanted to make sure we incoroporated that into her senior pictures.

I love silhouettes!!  :)

After the horse/FFA pictures had been taken, Sarah changed into this adorable dress!  We took some pictures with this cool old glider.  This was actually her great-grandmother's glider that her parents had restored.  I may be just a little partial (my dad painted it), but I love how it looked it pictures.  I love the "pop" of yellow! :)

Sarah loves to read!  She found these cool old Nancy Drew books at an antique store with her momma! I just love old books!! :)

Showing off her belt buckles...  We had a find a way to prop them up so they would show up (she has several after years of dedication and hard work!).

A few more of my favorites...  I had a hard time picking!  She is such a doll! :)

Batman - her brand new colt - had to make the blog!  He is shown above running with his momma! :)

A huge thank you to Sarah and her sweet parents for asking me to take her senior pictures!  I had a blast!! :)
