Tyler’s session was held at Pottawatomie Park in St. Charles where his brothers session was held 2 years ago (can you tell I LOVE repeat clients!) I think Tyler is as tall and lanky as his brother and his eyes are just as blue.  I LOVE that his mom had him wear a turquoise sweater because it really made his eyes sparkle (do guys want sparkle in their eyes – I doubt it but the girls do!!!)

Here’s a little bit about Tyler:

And my favorites from his session:

Thanks Tyler for choosing Jan Nohling Photography for your senior portraits!  Best of luck in your senior year!

Cole’s session was a beautiful fall day in October.  I have previously done his 2 gorgeous, photogenic older sisters senior sessions so the pressure was on!  We started his session at a farmhouse on Silver Glen Road, then went to Muirhead’s Farmhouse, and ended his session up at the varsity soccer fields of Burlington Central High.  Cole was a great sport throughout the entire session with a lot of laughter and fun!  A little bit about Cole:

Cory was my last 2011 senior.  His mom called in a panic because time had gotten away from her and he was leaving for college the next week!  I was able to shoot his session before he left for school but it was probably the hottest day of the summer!  Luckily we started at early at 8:00 am but it was 90 degrees before we finished.  I had shot his brother 2 years earlier at Judson University and that is where Cory’s session was also.  He was also a baseball player (catcher) and had played at Judson’s fields quite often in tournaments even though he is from Arlington Heights and graduated from St. Viator High School.  He is going to University of Houston and he made the baseball team! Congratulations Cory!  A little bit about Cory:

Scott’s session was held at Muirhead Farmhouse Bed & Breakfast in rural Elgin.  His session was a lot of fun because he is also into photography/editing/computers and he is overall a very artistic person.  He had lots of ideas of what he wanted for his session and I love that he brought his choral tuxedo to be photographed in.  It looked wonderful next to the the weathered red barns on the grounds.  Scott has a wonderful voice and was the lead actor in many of the high school musicals during his high school career!  Some interesting facts about Scott:

I have a couple more ’11 seniors that I need to blog because I’m starting on CLASS of 2012!  Feels so weird to type that! But let me finish up with the 2011 grads.  Up today is Ryan.  It was so nice to re-connect with him and his family since one of my sons played CDBL baseball waaaay back when with him and had his dad as a coach.  He is a member of the Burlington Central Varsity team where he is a pitcher and plays outfield.  Here is some more info about Ryan:

Mia’s session was held at Mount St. Mary’s Park in St. Charles. Although it was one of the hottest days of the spring (the car temp was at 93 degrees when I was driving the the park), Mia was a cool as a cucumber. I don’t think she even looks a little bit hot in any of these! And some trivia to get to know her better:

Fav class or teacher in HS. Why?

Drake’s session was held at Lord’s Park in Elgin – the same place we did his brother’s session 2 years ago!  Growing up, the family lived close by and the brothers spent a lot of time at the park so it was only natural that their senior sessions were held there.  We only had to re-schedule Drake’s session once due to rain – considering the spring we are having in Elgin that is a good thing!  Here are some of my favorites from the session

And Central doesn’t have a tennis team but if it did Drake would have played on it!

And since he is a 2011 graduate…

Enjoy graduation and best of luck next year!
