Stephanie | Fairytale Blooms Along Babbling Creeks at Forest Park

Session

When Stephanie traveled a couple of hours to St. Louis for her senior pictures, she knew she wanted a gallery filled with lush flowers, beautiful water features, and a look that felt completely different from everyone else back home. While Forest Park is massive, finding the perfect combination of both elements required a bit of scouting. We got incredibly lucky at a hidden creek location I suggested, because the water level was low enough to safely stand in, we discovered beautiful wildflowers blooming all along the pathways, checking off every single box on her wish list.

Stephanie completely fell in love with the water, enthusiastically kicking off her shoes to spend most of her session with her feet dipped right in the cool creek. Her wardrobe choices perfectly matched the whimsical, fairytale aesthetic of the location; she rocked a gorgeous white dress adorned with soft blue flowers, followed by a casual floral blouse and blue jeans. The soft textures of the landscape combined with her style created truly magical, effortless pictures that stand out completely from the crowd.
