Downtown Wilmington, NC Senior Photos | Mikayla Rackley

February 13, 2020

Senior season is ramping up!!! Mikayla is a senior at Wayne School of Engineering and is one of my 2020 senior spokesmodels. She is spunky, entrepreneurial, and is gearing up to do some really amazing things!!

I knew it was her when I pulled up to her first location because she was wearing BRIGHT pink and practicing a TikTok dance in the parking lot…haha!! She has a lot of different styles so we had a few locations picked out to match her outfits.

I wanted to try some new locations in downtown Wilmington, NC and I knew Mikayla would be the perfect girl to try them with. She’s always down for anything!

We started with a little more industrial/fun and then explored some areas that were more classic and historic. I loved using the famous One Tree Hill bridge for her black midi dress –– those may be some of my favorites!
