Alexa’s Senior Session at St. Anthony Main

November 8, 2025

< back to blog

I am pretty sure St. Anthony Main has officially become my new favorite place to photograph. Alexa’s senior session was my first time really exploring this area with a camera in hand, and I was completely blown away by how gorgeous it is, especially in the evening.

Alexa had just one request for her senior session. She wanted some of her images taken near Aster Cafe. Anything else we captured was simply a bonus. Little did I know that this one request would lead us to one of the most magical senior session locations I have photographed to date.

We started on the other side of the river, where there were still flowers hanging on late into the season, which felt like a little gift just for me. From there, we made our way over to St. Anthony Main, and wow. The warm evening light, the river views, and the charming streets came together perfectly. Everything about the area glowed as the sun started to set, and it created such a beautiful backdrop for Alexa’s senior photos.

Alexa was an absolute joy to photograph. She was relaxed, confident, and completely herself, which made the entire session feel effortless and fun. Getting to explore such a stunning location while capturing meaningful senior portraits is truly one of my favorite parts of this job.

I had such a great time hanging out with you, Alexa, and with your mom, Kim.
