Mary Brooks’ senior session was one for the books! She and her mom, Amy, made the drive from Raleigh to Wrightsville Beach for a day filled with sunshine, laughter, and beautiful memories. From the moment they arrived, I knew it was going to be a great shoot.

We started with soft, natural light that perfectly matched Mary Brooks’ bright, easygoing personality. She was a natural in front of the camera — relaxed, radiant, and effortlessly stylish. Every frame captured her genuine spirit and excitement.

During the session, we wandered from the garden, a fountain, a bridge, to the sandy beach and water’s edge, taking full advantage of the gorgeous scenery. Mary Brooks brought the best energy to every location, making it so easy (and fun!) to capture stunning portraits of this beautiful senior.

This senior session was the perfect blend of coastal beauty and personal style, and I feel so lucky to have been the one to capture it all.

Mary Brooks…CONGRATULATIONS on your acceptance to East Carolina University! I can’t wait to see all the amazing things your future holds. Wishing you all the best!

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