Downtown Wilmington College Senior Photos | Erica West

March 25, 2019

Erica reached out to me for her graduation photos because she is graduating from Sampson Community College’s nursing school. This girl is a go-getter –– she already has a job, is planning on getting her bachelors from UNCW, AND owns a Stella and Dot business on the side!

She chose to come to Wilmington for a mini college session. It was the perfect time because the azaleas JUST started blooming. It was definitely windy (a con of spring photos!) but we were able to find some awesome spots that still had beautiful light, color, and blocking from the wind!

I loved the colors she chose for her outfits. I don’t think the photos with the flowers would have been nearly as pretty without that bright blue dress!!

Here are my favorites from her mini session 🙂

I loved Erica’s cap!!! She actually had it professionally done and I think it’s perfect!

I cannot tell you how excited we were to find some azaleas in bloom!!! It’s almost time for the entire city to be covered in pinks, whites, and purples.
