Elizabeth's Ocean Springs Senior Portraits

I’m so excited that I get to share this school year’s first senior portrait session today: meet Elizabeth Graham! I’ve photographed some stellar seniors over the years, but none more impressive than this young lady. She’s intelligent, talented, kind, and a fearless leader, serving as student body president at a nationwide virtual school that grew to 4,000+ students during this crazy year! (I guess being the oldest of five kids was good practice!) And she handles it all with humility and grace. It was truly a pleasure meeting up with Lizzie for her portrait session, which started at the Grahams’ home. I could have hung out on the fabulous front porch all day!

I’ve been a broken record about how much I love at-home sessions, but this was my first time doing a senior portrait session at home, and I LOVED it. I was honestly a little overwhelmed at all the perfect spots for posing, but the jasmine-covered fence was definitely a favorite.

We even did a little swinging in the back yard!

Time for a wardrobe change and a little stroll down the street. Isn’t she just GORGEOUS?!

I couldn’t get enough of the twirly dress, and I geeked out about her posing with goldenrod—the state flower of her future college home, which happens to be my home state, too. ;)

I loved that Lizzie wanted to do some of her photos at our beautiful church.

Such style! I wish I could pull off bell bottoms like this!

Of course we had to incorporate a little sign of the times…

…but also a symbol of the future! This future lawyer got her official acceptance letter from her dream school just a couple days after our session. She’s Boyce bound!

Thanks for letting me document this exciting season in your life, Elizabeth! I can’t wait to see all the ways the Lord uses your gifts for His glory! :)

I have room for just a couple more senior portrait sessions this fall… if you want to be next, let’s talk! :)
