I love how photography allows me to capture the celebratory occasions in life--you can especially see the happiness on the faces of graduating seniors! Victoria Rodriguez's graduation session was such a joy to photograph! She is graduating from the University of South Alabama in May with her nursing degree. We kicked off our session at the bell tower, where it became immediately obvious that Victoria's easy-going personality and natural beauty would create some gorgeous photos!
