Hello FABULOUS!

I couldn’t wait to photograph this stylish, smart, and beautiful senior!

I was so excited to see Sofia and her mom, Jody. They made the trip from Raleigh to Wilmington on a perfect day in April. Jody and I are travel buddies so I knew like always this day was going to be another fantastic adventure together! When they arrived in Wilmington their first stop was Bridal Styles Beauty to have Sofia’s hair and makeup done. Next, we headed to our first location which were the gardens. Sofia looked absolutely stunning! We had so much fun and I truly enjoyed documenting this special moment in time for my sweet friend and her daughter.

After the gardens we headed to my favorite white wall to take some fun editorial shots. Then, we headed to the always amazing Wrightsville Beach. The sky was showing off that evening. It was filled with beautiful pastel colors that made Sofia look as if she was placed in a watercolor painting.

Sofia is full of life and there is no doubt this beauty is going places! When I say going places I mean… to The University of Tennessee this fall! Sofia all of your hard work has paid off! Way to GO! Tennessee sure is getting a good one!

Sofia…you are AMAZING and so much FUN! I loved our afternoon together! I can’t wait to see where life takes you and to watch you flourish. Wishing you all the best!
