Exactly 17 Years Later.... IL Portrait Photographer Takes Senior Photos of the Baby She Originally photographed on 9-11-01
Pretty much everyone remembers exactly where they were when they learned that America had come under attack on Sept. 11, 2001. Sarah Petty, a professional portrait photographer from Springfield, Ill., was at Washington Park in Springfield with a mother and her nine-month-old daughter taking her baby portraits.
Every year, as 9-11 passed, Sarah would think of that little girl and wonder about her. Petty and that mother and daughter, Tammy and Samantha White, also of Springfield, hadn’t crossed paths again until a few months ago. It was during that chance meeting they decided it would be neat to meet up again exactly 17-years later to take Samantha’s senior portraits. The photo shoot happened on Sept. 11, 2018.
RMA Publicity is handling publicity for the event and secured stories for Sarah in the State Journal-Register and on both WCIA-TV and WAND-TV in Springfield.

(Hub City Bookshop & Press - Aug. 29), and Atlanta, Ga., (Tall Tales Book Shop - Aug. 30), in August.
Gilliland will also be making an appearance at the World Mystery Convention, Bouchercon, which this year is being held in St. Petersburg, Fla., from Sept. 6 - 9, and then on Sept. 14 she will be at Dunaway Book in St. Louis.
