For Evan’s senior session, we headed to the Victorian Bridge in Forest Park. Although his family visits the park often, this quiet, lesser-known spot was a new discovery for them, making it the perfect place to capture Evan’s calm and easygoing personality. As we explored the area, we followed a creek lined with large rocks that were ideal for relaxed, comfortable poses. We also utilized a nearby boardwalk for some classic leaning shots and headed into the wooded paths to give Evan a true "forest feel" surrounded by greenery. One of the most unique finds of the day was a massive, twisted tree that provided a one-of-a-kind, natural backdrop we just had to use.

Evan brought two outfits to his session, including a casual look he calls his “street” attire. We found a nearby stone building that amped up that urban energy perfectly. The building featured a blue wooden garage door that was the ultimate spot for a "cool guy" leaning pose, it truly brought that street-scene vision to life. Throughout the session, Evan was such a pleasure to work with, even sharing his impressive goals of earning his pilot’s license and joining the Navy to fly planes.
