Downtown Wilmington, NC Spring Senior Photos | Lydia Butler

May 6, 2020

Lydia is a 2020 Charles B. Aycock High School senior, one of my senior spokesmodels, AND such a sweeeet soul. I met her last year during her older sister Lauren’s ECU senior photos and heard that she was thinking about joining my spokesmodel team.

Even though she thinks she’s a little shy at first, I think she’s HILARIOUS. Between her, her mom, and her sister (plus her best friend and fellow spokesmodel who also joined for her session), I was laughing the whole time.

Lydia is also super talented at volleyball and she will be playing for Pitt Community College next year! I love that she gets to continue doing a sport she loves.

For her senior photos, she wanted something coastal with lots of greenery, so to downtown Wilmington, NC we went! She’s one of my first seniors this year to be able to take advantage of the flowers and landscaping outside. We wait all year for this and I’m glad at least someone gets to use it for their photos!!!

It was a little windy but she made it work –– nothing wrong with all little Beyonce wind! My favorites are the ones by the water. She looks like an angel!
