Norfolk Botanical Garden Senior Portraits
Norfolk Botanical Garden Senior Portraits with Rachael Reid Photography
Springtime in Virginia is nothing short of magical, and Ramsie’s spring senior portrait session at Norfolk Botanical Garden was a perfect reflection of that beauty! Captured by Rachael Reid Photography, this session was filled with blooming flowers, stunning natural backdrops, and of course – Ramsie’s radiant personality shining through in every shot.
A Dreamy Senior Session with Ramsie
As we planned her session, Ramsie let me know that she wanted her senior portraits to be timeless, soft, and with an emphasis on nature—and she absolutely nailed it with her location and outfit choices! Her wardrobe selections not only complemented the garden’s vibrant colors but also showcased her personality and excitement for the future. Norfolk Botanical Garden was the perfect setting for her spring senior portrait session as she celebrated finishing up her senior year!
Her photos surrounded by these pink flowers are some of my favorite!
Chic in Light Blue & White
We kicked off the session with her light blue top and crisp white jeans, a fresh and stylish combination that popped against the florals and greenery. The soft pastels made for a perfect spring aesthetic, and Ramsie’s natural confidence shone through in every shot. The peaceful pathways and beautifully landscaped gardens provided a breathtaking backdrop that enhanced her effortless beauty.
Repping Virginia Tech in Style
Next, Ramsie proudly showed off her future school spirit in a Virginia Tech t-shirt paired with a trendy denim skirt. This outfit was such a fun way to celebrate her next big adventure while keeping things youthful and casual. Against the backdrop of towering trees and vibrant flowers, these photos captured her excitement for what’s to come at Virginia Tech!
Ethereal in White Among the Flowers
For the grand finale, Ramsie changed into a flowy white dress, and the results were absolutely breathtaking. The dress flowed beautifully as she posed among the hanging flowers and near the elegant fountain, creating a soft, ethereal vibe. The way the light hit the delicate fabric made these images feel straight out of a fairytale. This look was pure magic and truly highlighted Ramsie’s graceful spirit.
Cap & Gown Moments to Remember – A Senior Portrait Accessory Option
No senior session is complete without cap and gown portraits, and Norfolk Botanical Garden’s iconic teal pergola and hanging white flowers provided the perfect setting. These timeless shots captured the significance of this milestone and the pride Ramsie felt in reaching this moment. The soft natural light, paired with the serene atmosphere, made these images unforgettable.
