Charles B Aycock High School Senior in Wilmington, NC | Hailey Leistner

April 26, 2018

Hailey is a 2018 senior at Charles B. Aycock High School and such a sweet soul! She, her mom and dad, and her boyfriend met me in downtown Wilmington for her spring senior session. She will be attending Campbell University in the fall (her dream school!!) to study psychology and she’s looking forward to finding out what doors that will open for her. Of course we had to get a few photos in her Campbell sweatshirt and the sign her parents made to announce her acceptance!

We were able to incorporate a city style and then traveled across town to the beach! It was beautiful and glowy, and we were able to capture all of the sides of Hailey’s personality. She also included her boyfriend, Jordan, in some of her photos –– I love when my seniors bring along the people that are special to them so we can capture this moment in their life! Jordan was a trooper and did all of the poses and photos Hailey and I wanted (hard to find in a high school boy!!).
