Why Outdoor Senior Photos in St. Louis Are Always a Good Idea

If you're a senior (or a parent of one) looking for a graduation photographer in St. Louis, let’s talk about why outdoor senior photos are kind of the best.

First of all—St. Louis has so many beautiful locations to choose from. Whether you're vibing with the iconic Forest Park, want a bright outdoor adventure in Busch Wildlife Conservation Area, or love the industrial look of downtown alleys and rooftops, this city has a little bit of everything. And when you’re documenting a once-in-a-lifetime moment like senior year, you want the backdrop to feel like you.

I’m all about keeping things low-key and true to you. No weird poses or forced smiles—just hanging out, walking around, and getting photos that actually feel like you. Think less “smile for the camera” and more “this is who I am right now.” We’ll go with the flow, find good light, and get the kind of shots you’ll actually want to post (and maybe even print for your grandma).

If you’re starting your search for a senior photographer in St. Louis, I’d love to chat. Whether you’re graduating from SLU, WashU, a local high school, or anywhere in between—let’s make something fun, easy, and 100% true to who you are right now.
