Rufus King class of 2026 | Phoebe
Meet Phoebe - one half of a dynamic duo, because yes, she's a twin! And while her brother may be equally amazing, today is all about her.
Phoebe came in knowing exactly the vibe she wanted - organic, natural, and effortless. So we let the surroundings do what they do best and leaned into all that gorgeous greenery. Honestly, it couldn't have been more her.
There's something so special about a senior who knows her own aesthetic - and Phoebe absolutely nailed it. Cool little side detail - the green skirt in some of these photos? She MADE it! That’s what I call talented. (And it has POCKETS!!!)
Congratulations Phoebe on your upcoming high school graduation.
