Sarah is a class of 2017 high school student we were lucky enough to photograph while in St Louis. Jen and I were attending the Shutterfest conference and held this senior photo session at the old Union Station. Don’t worry! Union Station is a non-operating station so for the photo on the train tracks the only danger was tripping on the tracks. The black and white photo of Sarah is one of our favorites. Thanks Sarah and Mom for a great shoot. We had a blast!

On the train tracks at a non-functioning train station so no worries about trains suddenly showing up.  Sarah very carefully leaning on the tracks for the high school senior portrait.  Shot entirely in natural light with the NIkon D750 and 85mm 1.4D lens.

Medium length portrait of high school student Sarah leaning on train.  I would call this a senior "fashion" style portrait session.  Shot entirely with natural light and post processing with lightroom, photoshop and alienskin software.
