Alex and her mother drove all the way up from Gulfport, MS to shoot her senior portraits with us in Oxford, and I am so glad that she did! Her fun outfits and warm personality made her so easy to work with. We also shot inside of a local boutique hotel, The Graduate, and it created the perfect aesthetic for Alex’s first dress! Thank you, Alex, for making the six hour trip to shoot with us- we love how they turned out.

“I think my favorite memory from high school would be attending games. Gulfport has a student section that feels like family and when we are all together, no matter the sport, it is a really good time!” – Alex

“My advice to incoming freshmen would be to take the good with the bad. Not everyday is going to be like what you see in a stereotypical high school movie but just learning to embrace it can shift your outlook to a more positive one!” – Alex

“After high school I plan to attend the University of Mississippi! I plan on majoring in history then attending law school. I have always loved how broad history is and how it tells so many stories that we can learn from that help us in the present.” – Alex

“My sister, Avery, is at Ole Miss too! I am really excited that we can continue growing up together and having that older sister wisdom there for me!” – Alex

“I could not have imagined my senior portraits going any better! Mackenzie was the absolute best who always went the extra mile and made my personality show through the pictures!” – Alex
