For Sofia’s session, we explored the very best of Forest Park. From the grand front of The Muny to the picturesque creeks and the blooming flowers at the Jewel Box, Sofia arrived ready with an amazing variety of outfits that truly reflected her bubbly personality. She showcased a fun cowgirl look to represent her love for horseback riding, a vibrant pink "Barbie" ensemble, and even professional business attire for a few polished headshots. We also made sure to celebrate her upcoming graduation with a beautiful yellow bouquet and her cap and gown.

One location that held deep personal meaning for Sofia was Steinberg Ice Rink. Growing up, she spent countless hours watching the skaters there as she navigated and overcame personal challenges, which ultimately fueled her own love for the sport. Even though the rink wasn't open for the season, we were still able to capture beautiful, meaningful portraits that celebrated her connection to the ice. Sofia has such a sweet, positive outlook on life, and it was a total joy to capture this milestone for her. Scroll down to see all the adorable highlights from Sofia's session!
