Lexi | A Water-Inspired Session in Forest Park

Session

Lexi knew she wanted something a little different for her senior pictures: she specifically requested a location centered around water. While she didn't have a specific spot in mind, Forest Park was the obvious choice for its incredible variety. Between the winding creeks, serene lakes, and even a hidden waterfall, Lexi had a perfect range of aquatic backdrops to choose from.

We were able to blend nature and water into nearly every shot. Lexi explored everything from standing in tall prairie grasses and crossing a white suspension bridge to leaning against weathered trees and sitting on the rocks to kick her feet in the water. This variety kept her "water theme" consistent while giving her a huge range of poses and looks. To make the evening even more magical, we caught a stunning orange sunset glow through the trees that perfectly complemented Lexi's incredible facial expressions, she mastered a soft smile that gave her a total model look. Scroll down to see how her adorable, water-inspired session turned out!
