Riley Mills | Senior Photo Shoot | Wrightsville Beach

Seniors

October 16, 2024

I was honored to have Riley and her mom, Kate, travel all the way from Raleigh to Wilmington for her senior photo shoot. It’s always a privilege to be trusted with such an important milestone, and I couldn’t wait to document this incredible high school senior.

The day started off with a promising forecast, and I was feeling excited for the session. But around lunchtime, the weather took an unexpected turn—rain was headed our way! I immediately called Kate to let her know about the change. At that point, they were already halfway here, and with hair and makeup scheduled, they decided to take a chance and go ahead with the shoot.

AND… I’M SO GLAD THEY DID! The weather turned out perfect!

When storms are in the area, the lighting is magical, and this day was no exception. The overcast skies gave us the most incredible natural light, creating a soft, dreamy atmosphere that was perfect for Riley’s session. Add a gorgeous senior into the mix and the results were simply STUNNING.

We started at the beach, where the moody skies added an extra layer of beauty to the coastal backdrop. From there, we moved to a garden setting, where the lush greenery and soft lighting complemented Riley’s effortless grace in front of the camera. She was an absolute natural, making every shot feel relaxed and fun.

Every backdrop that Mother Nature provided that day added a unique touch to her gallery, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Riley, I know you have a bright future ahead, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you. Thank you for trusting me with this special shoot, and for taking a chance on a rainy day—it was more than worth it!

Here’s to chasing dreams, embracing beauty, and capturing perfection—one click at a time.
