This senior photo shoot was particularly special for me because Ward isn’t just any high school senior; he’s my neighbor! As I looked through the lens of the camera, I found it hard to believe that this handsome and intelligent young man was the same boy I used to drive to or from middle school. Where has time gone?

Ward is truly an exceptional individual! He is kind, athletic, intelligent, and WOW is he handsome! His natural charm and ease in front of the camera sure made my job effortless. Thank you Ward!

We had a blast exploring several of my favorite locations along Wrightsville Beach. Our first stop was a beach trail, where I was so thankful I brought my step stool because this guy is not only handsome…he is also tall!! Next, we went to Johnny Mercer’s Pier, and we couldn’t resist taking a few shots in the lifeguard stand. Finally, we wrapped up the session on the stunning sands of Wrightsville Beach, capturing the essence of Ward’s vibrant personality against the coastal backdrop.

Ward…it has been so much fun watching you grow into the incredible individual that you are today! I’m so proud of you and can’t wait to see what your future holds! CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance to North Carolina State University! Wishing you all the very best on this exciting next chapter.

I’ll see you at the tailgates! Go PACK!
