Tower Grove Park is one of those places that almost does the work for you. Around every bend there's something worth stopping for — ducks floating near The Palm House, winding paths canopied by trees, and in the fall, rich tree colors all around. It's one of my favorite spots in the city for senior sessions.


And this time around we were with Sophie, who was an absolute joy to spend an afternoon with. One of my favorite things about these sessions is the conversation, it's clear we're going to talk about senior year + what's next. Listening to them reflect on their senior year and hearing the excitement in their voice for what's to come always brings me back to my last days of high school and summer leading into college.


And the images? They reflect her and the day so perfectly - sweet smiles, good conversation, glowing colors, and Sophie's kindness. They're a work of art and I'm so proud of what we made together.


Congrats, Sophie! I can't wait to see what you do next!
