Jae jokingly said we should do her senior pictures in NC because it’s our favorite place to vacation, and I thought that was a great idea! I have photographed so many seniors over the years, and now it was time for my own …. Work and play are fun to mix, and the other two kids tagged along. We had a great time after our quarantine that seemed to last way too long, and now seems like it’s kind of a distant memory. She and I have been to the Wilmington area repeatedly since she was three, so these photos will always be a great memory for me and Jaeda. So many of my clients have watched her grow up online, everyone knows so many details about my kids just from us following one another on facebook and getting to know each other over the years. It’s pretty special. Here is the little girl that inspired me to start this business that has amazingly reached so many people over the years :)
These were shot in downtown Wilmington and Carolina Beach. Carolina Beach was way too crowded, not our favorite place, but the colors there were pretty hard to say no to!
(this is part one. there will be many more to follow!!)
Let me know if you’re interested in senior photos. I am willing to travel, if the location is right :) CONTACT ME with any questions!
