Derek + Elysia // Intimate Anniversary Session at the River

Elysia and I have been scheming about this shoot for a while now. She asked me if there was anything new I was dying to try and the first thing that came to mind was shooting in water. We have no beautiful ocean here in the middle of the country but we sure do have rivers! And rivers at flood stage as it would happen... you can't tell from the photos but that water was bookin! These two amazing sports didn't bat an eye at the current or the millions of bugs or the being soaking wet on the ride home. They're kinda the best and I love them. ;)

Fashion Forward Senior Girl - St. Louis Photographer

This girl is on fire! But for real. Shooting Abigail was a dream. She was so effortless in front of the camera and she rolled with all of my harebrained ideas like it's not weird at all to cover your face with flowers or run in slow motion. We had the BEST time creating together and Lafayette Square has never looked more magical. Also, Sister's wardrobe is on point!! She even managed to incorporate her grandmother's vintage wedding dress. I loved the different looks she pulled together and how they really showcase who she is. Such fun!

Senior Boy Photo Shoot - Street Fashion

Meet my new friend, Grant. He's basically the coolest. I don't get a lot of teenagers here in the midwest asking to do a street fashion inspired photo shoot for their senior pictures. Sooooo I was pretty dang excited when he asked! He either needs to get into modeling or fashion styling because he nailed everything about it. I'm really crazy about these images!!

Can't wait to see what's next for you, dude!!
