Part two of our Class of 2023 Rural Southern Belle team graduation shoot is all about celebrating each senior individually! These girls have worked so hard to get to this moment, and their personalities shined through in their cap and gown portraits. From confident poses to sweet candid moments, each session captured the unique spirit of these incredible young women. And to wrap up the day, we took a trip to the cutest local ice cream shop for one final hangout, where the girls swapped their gowns for their college tees—marking the start of their next big adventure!
