Ellen and I went to high school together wayyy back in the day (I was a senior when she was a freshman!) and the fact that I’m taking her college senior photos is crazy to me!!!
She is such a talented athlete-turned-coach and I know that anyone on her team is having the best experience learning from her. Her smile and laugh is so bright, which made taking photos of her really fun!!
Of course her main goal for her photos was to capture her in her graduation cap and gown but she brought along other fun, boho outfits as well.
I know I’ve saying it but I am so thankful for the flowers blooming in Wilmington AND that the weather has been so beautiful!
Here are my favorites of downtown Wilmington college senior photos!
You know I had to go back to this spots…it’s just too perfect! I love the colors and that during the day it has enough sunlight to make everything pop.
This area is becoming one of my favorites because it looks so “collegian” to me. It’s clean and classic, which allows the focus to be completely on her!
Wilmington is such an interesting town because within a few blocks is something that looks like a historical southern city and then something that looks like Tampa! I love the palm trees and all of the white, especially with her yellow pants.
Also, I would kill for that hair color!
Ellen switched into a bright blue shirt to wrap up her session and I loved it because it complimented her hair color perfectly. Mix that with a white front porch and it’s magic!!!
