NC State University Senior Photos in Raleigh, NC | Charleigh Smith

May 11, 2019

Talk about feeling old….

Before Charleigh’s NC State senior session I was going through old scrapbooks my mom had made looking for photos of Weston for his high school graduation celebrations.

The books were FILLED with photos of the whole Smith family –– Charleigh, Cameron, and Channing. We used to do everything together growing up. From pool days to Disney World trips to riding four wheelers in the front yard, we were attached at the hip.

Now that we’re all older (Channing will officially be the last in high school and living at home after this year!!!), we still get together every Christmas to decorate cookies.

Of course I had to do Charleigh’s college senior photos because who else would?! I’ve come a long way from her high school senior photos and I was also really excited to be on NC State’s campus!

Charleigh is the perfect combination of spunky, witty, and smart –– AND she’s already started her “real world” job! I’m so excited for her and am grateful to have captured this huge next step!

Love you, girl!!!

Here are my favorites from her session 🙂
