Charles B Aycock HS Senior in Wrightsville Beach, NC | Anna Greenwell

March 13, 2018

I am absolutely in love with this senior session with Anna, one of my 2018 senior spokesmodels! Anna is a senior at Charles B. Aycock and is smart, humble, creative, and passionate! She is an aspiring photographer, so after she purchased her first camera, she has completely immersed herself in all things photography education! It’s crazy to see how much she’s grown in such a short time, and I am so excited to be a part of her journey.

Anna had a vision of colorful houses (her favorite colors are pastel yellow and blue!) and a coastal vibe for her senior session, and we made exactly that happen! Kirsten, her best friend and fellow spokesmodel, and Anna met me at my house in Wilmington and we drove to some of my favorite hidden spots by the beach. I love the Charleston vibe and any time I get to take advantage of Wilmington’s many beautiful locations.

All of Anna’s outfits were bright and coastal with lots of patterns and movement –– a girl after my own heart. We explored little neighborhoods, stores by the water, and the beach itself! The day started out sunny and warm, but of course being in North Carolina…it quickly became VERY cold and windy. Anna was definitely a trooper as we walked all over Wrightsville Beach.

I am so excited to get Anna out from behind the camera and capture her natural beauty…because she is gorgeous! I can’t wait to continue to watch her grow and use her talents to impact others. Having her on my first team has been such a blessing!

Here are my favorites from her session!

Anna is an aspiring photographer that just started her photography journey! She is already MILES ahead of where I was when I started!! I love that we were able to get a few headshots of her with her camera.
