Paige | Dressed for the Ball

When it comes to senior year and prom, it's a moment you don't want to forget, and Paige's prom was no different. First of all, Paige looked absolutely gorgeous. She was stunning in her navy-blue dress with her hair half up and curled. Second, her friends and her choose some fun places for their prom photos. I followed along as they had a fun bus filled with 20+ of Paige's friends and dates. Their first stop was Forest Park down at the lake basin of Art Hill. The weather was perfect, and the lake with the Art Museum made for a wonderful background. After Forest Park, they headed to Tower Grove Park where they found the perfect pavilion for a group photo, and then headed over to the flowers, willow trees, and pond where Paige happened to see some more friends she knew. She got to chat and hang out with those friends a bit prior to prom, along with getting a few photos with them in a beautiful atmosphere.

Rachel | All Things Nature and Theatre

With Rachel's love for flowers, nature, and all things vintage, we headed to Queeny Park. With the tall, grassy fields, small blooming flowers, widespread woods, and old architecture, Rachel was loving every bit of her session. We were in her element. She even got excited when she saw the little squirrels running around or the deer out in the field. Rachel also loves theatre, particularly Shakespeare, so she gave me lots of fun and dramatic facial expressions that showed off her amazing personality. And at the last minute, we spotted a wooden bridge, and Rachel loves wooden bridges, so I made sure we incorporated it into her session. Check out all of Rachel's theatrical expressions and nature loving personality in the photos below!

Paige | Discovering St. Louis Architecture

For Paige's second senior session she wanted to get some beautiful, spring flowers in her portraits, while also getting some of St. Louis' older architecture, and Forest Park was the perfect place to capture everything she was looking for. Flowers were blooming all over the park, and the World's Fair Pavilion, Art Museum, and The Muny were all perfect architectural buildings for her backgrounds. Paige also wanted to incorporate some college gear in her photos. She'll be going to The University of Oklahoma to be a helicopter pilot and plans on joining the Air Force as well. Scroll down to see everything we captured during her session!

Brianna | Awe Struck in the City

Brianna wanted to change things up a bit for her spring session. Instead of being in a park, like her first session, she wanted a bit more of an urban vibe. We decided on St. Charles, and it was the perfect location for her. Brianna had never been to St. Charles before, and she was awe struck by all the beautiful, historical architecture. She was loving every minute of her session. We even had some fun and got an ice cream cone for her pictures, which she looked adorable in. Towards the end of Brianna's session, she was saying how cute a session with an old car would be. Then we stumbled upon an old VW that was parked along the street. And not only was it an old car, but it belonged to one of the local shops and was decorated with suitcases and flowers. Talk about some crazy luck! We spent a decent time working with the VW, because we were so excited to stumble across something Brianna was only dreaming up. Check out all her amazing images below!

Jack | The Man With the Porsche

For Jack’s session, he wanted to catch those last bit of fall leaves before they were completely gone, so he decided on going to The Muny in Forest Park. Jack and his family purchase season tickets to The Muny, and enjoy seeing the shows, so they thought it would be the perfect location for his senior pictures. We were also able to walk down around the pagoda and the creek to find plenty of fall colors still left, and even some rocks around the creek to work with. Something special Jack brought along was his old Porsche that he and his brother have driven. His brother is even a bit jealous that Jack got his senior pictures taken with the car. When it came to taking pictures with the Porsche, Jack had the perfect “cool guy” look that were the cherry on top of his portraits. Check out the images by scrolling down!
