Jadon | The Surprise Model at Lafayette Park

Session
Written By Amanda Biggerstaff
 
Fun high school senior picture taken at Lafayette Park in St. Louis, Missouri, showing a smiling boy looking over his sunglasses while sitting on the ground against a classic wrought iron fence in front of a scenic park pond.
 
 

When Jadon was looking for the perfect spot for his senior pictures, he spotted a photo I had shared of a classic iron rod fence, and that was the ultimate selling point. We headed out to Lafayette Park to capture that exact look, utilizing the park’s iconic iron bridges and ornate fencing to give his session a sophisticated, urban edge.

Since it was the very beginning of spring, the trees were still bare, but we were graced with an incredible sunset. The light shined right through the branches, filling the park with beautiful orange and yellow hues that made the colors in his photos truly pop. Jadon also brought such a fun energy to the shoot, acting like a natural model and making the entire process a blast. He brought along a few simple accessories, like sunglasses and a hat, and knew exactly how to use them to add variety to his look. Scroll down to see all of Jadon’s "modelish" senior portraits!
