I had so much fun photographing beautiful Dottie when she graduated from high school, and I was so thrilled to have the chance to do it again seven (?!?!) years later to celebrate her completion of nursing school!
She’s as adorable as ever, don’t you think?
Ever since these colorful umbrellas showed up in downtown Ocean Springs, I’ve been imagining how to use this spot for portraits, so I was SO HAPPY that Dottie had been eyeing them, too. I can’t imagine a better person to pose in this fun, rainbow-inspired alley… don’t these photos just scream JOY?!
Of course we had to hang out at church for a bit…
How cute is this cap & gown / stethoscope combination?
I’d love her idea of posing with a pile of her nursing textbooks, and this Chris Stebly mural was the perfect backdrop.
We rounded things out with a few moments on Front Beach with a surprise appearance by Dottie’s sweet pup (thanks, Mom & Dad!), a fabulous sunset, and a bit of a champagne explosion. ;)
Congratulations, Dottie! Thank you for letting me celebrating with you once again! :)
