Before Kinsley’s senior photo shoot even began I knew we would hit if off and that it would be a memorable afternoon spent together. Kinsley and I are both Saint Mary’s girls and there’s an unspoken bond among us girls that’s so unique and special. It was a privilege for me to document this milestone for her!

Despite the cloudy Sunday forecast, Kinsley and her Mom trusted in me and my experience that cloud coverage is actually a great thing when it comes to taking pictures… especially here along the coast. So they made the trip from Raleigh and I’m so glad they did! Thank you ladies for trusting in me!

We kicked off the session in the garden, where spring was in full bloom! The vibrant colors provided the perfect canvas for Kinsley’s senior pictures.

Next, we ventured to the picturesque shores of Wrightsville Beach, a timeless backdrop that effortlessly highlighted Kinsley’s grace and radiance. Kinsley was so much fun to photograph and a natural in front of the camera.

As the day drew to a close, we made our way to the marsh, just as the sun began its descent. The warm glow over the landscape, illuminating Kinsley beautifully!

Kinsley’s not only beautiful and kind; she’s also a dedicated student athlete. Her commitment to excellence has led her to Creighton University, where she will continue her academic and athletic pursuits as a member of the golf team. Her commitment to Creighton University is a testament of her hard work, determination, and dedication to the sport. Way to go Kinsley!

Kinsley, your beauty, poise, and strength shine through in every image. As you embark on this new adventure, may you always carry with you the same spirit of joy and grace that filled your shoot. Congratulations on all that you’ve achieved, and here’s to the bright future that awaits you at Creighton University and beyond.
