Charles B Aycock HS Senior in Downtown Beaufort, NC | Leah Campbell

March 1, 2018

Leah, one of my 2018 senior spokesmodels, is probably one of the sweetest and most driven girls you will ever meet. She is the Coastal Region VP for DECA, a student organization that prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management, and is a member of the CBA golf team. She is crushing her leadership roles and I am honored to have her on my team!

Leah is a very southern, bright color loving girl who grew up spending summers on the beaches of North Carolina. It was only natural that we had her senior session by the waterfront in historic Beaufort, NC –– a place I have been dying to shoot at for awhile now. Her colorful outfit choice worked perfectly with the boats and historic homes!

She brought along big gold balloons that honestly…we struggled with…a lot. BUT after multiple attempts we FINALLY got the shot we were looking for, and it turned out so cute!

Leah also brought her family puppy, Chipp, who had a matching bow tie. We went to a little private beach in Morehead City, NC to get the last shots before a huge rain cloud covered up our sun. I love how she brought so many props that showed off her classy and southern personality!

She will be attending Meredith in the fall and I am so excited to see what she does with her college career!
