WSE High School Senior Photos in Wilmington, NC | Lexi Crouse

October 11, 2018

Lexi is such a special human.

She is a member of my 2019 senior spokesmodel team and I am so thankful to be able to spend time around her kind spirit. She is a determined go-getter –– dual enrolled in Wayne School of Engineering high school and Wayne Community College, a part of the Honors Program of WCC, and the International Honors Program for two year colleges (Phi Theta Kappa). She’s also a lieutenant governor for Key Club, which is a HUGE accomplishment!!

Of course her senior session would need to be equally has fantastic as she was and really let her personality shine. 

Like most hustlers, Lexi loves a good cup of coffee. We started at the local coffee shop, Drift Coffee, that had the cutest mugs and best lighting!! I love the way she looks so natural but also fabulous at the same time (she really should become a blogger with these shots).

Then we headed downtown to the Coastal Convention Center that is made out of an old train station. It was the perfect backdrop for the vintage suitcases that she picked up from the local Habitat for Humanity. I love when my seniors bring props because we get to style them in fun ways!

We ended in one of my favorite spots in Wilmington on top of a parking deck. Y’all…the light there is just to die for. Her red shirt popped beautifully against the white and teal!

I am thankful that I get to work with Lexi all throughout her senior year, but I’m also happy we got to spend time focusing just on her. Enjoy my favorites from her session!

I LOVE this photo. Doesn’t she look beautiful?!

Yes, total blogger status. Lexi –– make it happen, girl.

She picked up these suitcases for less than $10!!!

Cue mama tears…
