Olivia’s senior session took us on a tour of some of the most scenic spots in Forest Park. We started our evening at the Victorian Bridge, where we were greeted by a rogue chicken playing in the woods, a silly and memorable moment that set a fun tone for the rest of the day. The bridge area offered a stunning mix of early fall colors and golden sunlight, providing a beautiful backdrop as Olivia posed in the tall grasses and along the rustic wooden pathways.

Continuing with our nature theme, we headed to a nearby creek where Olivia sat along the water’s edge, capturing a beautiful shot of her reflection in the stream. We also made a stop at the Forest Park waterfall for some breathtaking portraits; her blue shirt and white skirt paired perfectly with the cool, shaded tones of the water. To wrap up the evening, we caught the peak of golden hour at the lake basin. The sunset was absolutely spectacular, beaming through the trees and making the autumn colors glow behind Olivia as she stood on the bridge and among the prairie grasses. Scroll down to see all the stunning highlights from Olivia’s session!
