Jadon | A Love for STL and the Cardinals

For Jadon’s second session he wanted to take some graduation portraits by the Gateway Arch in downtown St. Louis. After some portraits by the Arch, we decided to head over to Ballpark Village. We couldn't resist the opportunity to take some photos in his cap and gown with Busch Stadium in the background. We also were graced by a beautiful sunset that peeked through the buildings, which made the perfect backdrop for a few street portraits. Scroll down to check out more of Jadon’s images!

Jadon | The Surprise Model

When Jadon was looking for a place to take his senior pictures, he spotted a photo I had shared with an iron rod fence and that was his selling point. So, we went out to Lafayette Park and captured some photos right in front of the iron rod fence and with the bridge made from iron. While the trees were bare, we had such a beautiful sunset that easily shined through and gave us lots of beautiful orange and yellow hues, making the color really pop. The sunlight really helped make up for the lacking color at the beginning of spring.

Jadon also had such a great personality, making it easy to photograph him. He looked like he was having such a fun time as he acted like he was modeling for me. He brought along a couple simple accessories, sunglasses and a hat, that doubled as props. And he knew just how to use them! To see Jadon’s modelish senior pictures, scroll down!

Ainsleigh | Homecoming in the St. Louis Sculptures

Having worked with Ainsleigh before, I knew the perfect location to suggest for her homecoming portraits would be at Laumeier Sculpture Park, a favorite hometown park with lots of quirky sculptures that fit Ainsleigh’s fun and crazy personality. And her session wasn’t short of fun and crazy moments between Ainsleigh, her friend, and her boyfriend. It was the perfect location for their imagination to soar so far that they even pretended to run away from a giant deer. Scroll down to see how creative we got!

Henry | A Love for Powfu

As a nature and animal lover, Henry wanted to take his senior pictures surrounded by nature and somewhere with a creek. Konarcik Park was the perfect mixture of nature, creek, and even a little bit of grunge. He wore his Powfu sweatshirt, an artist he loves, and specifically asked for some portraits where you could see the back of it. Scroll down to see some favorites from his session!

Andi | Finding Colorado in St. Louis

Forest Park was the perfect location for Andi’s senior pictures. It had everything she was looking for and more. She wanted tall grasses, wildflowers, and fall colors, plus there were even rocks by a creek that were perfect for her college gear portraits. Andi is going to University of Colorado, so what better way to represent her college then being surrounded by rocks. Check out her images below!
