Alexa wanted to head to Forest Park for her senior pictures, with the Muny being one of her top locations. We made it our first stop as it was a perfect location choice since theatre is one of her passions. We snapped some lovely images of Alexa walking under the grand chandelier and standing in the rotunda that has all this season’s upcoming shows posted. It was the perfect way to embrace that love of theatre. The pagoda across the street was another spot where we found beautiful flowers blooming all around. From short blooms to tall stalks and even flowers overhead in the trees, spring color was everywhere. There was even a patch of short purple flowers growing in front of the pagoda and lake that were perfect for a fairytale scene as Alexa sat down and draped her dress to the side of her with her hand in her hair.

From there, we headed down to the lake basin at Art Hill for some sunset photos by the water. We also found plenty of beautiful flowers blooming nearby where Alexa was able to lean against the trees and crouch among the flower patches for a different variety of poses. We decided that this would be the perfect place to end our session and decided to walk along the path by the lake basin. We found some tall purple bushes in full bloom that made for an unexpected but perfect spot. The colors worked so well with Alexa’s cap and gown and added something really special to the gallery. (These are my favorite from her gallery for sure.)

Alexa was kind, easygoing, and such a calm presence throughout the session. We actually had a hiccup during her session, so we went a little over to make up for lost time and were able to catch the soft light of blue hour as it set in, giving the final photos a soft and peaceful feel.
