Will had a very specific vision for his senior pictures, and it went far beyond just liking an urban aesthetic. He has a genuine passion for city planning and finding ways to make transportation more accessible and efficient. Because of this, we knew we had to head into downtown St. Louis to find settings that truly resonated with his future goals.

Laclede’s Landing and Union Station served as the perfect backdrops for his session. These locations allowed us to feature the historic bridges and trains that represent the transportation systems he cares about so much, while also capturing the towering city buildings in the background. It was so inspiring to photograph someone with such a clear vision for the future. Scroll down to see how Will’s unique personality and interests shined through every urban shot.
