Senior Photos In Pullen Park and Downtown Raleigh, NC | Caroline McMullen

March 16, 2021

High school senior photos at Pullen Park in Raleigh, NC

Ohhhh wow, this is a good one!!!! I have had so many seniors this past year where I’ve left their shoot and thought “now THAT is definitely the BEST shoot I’ve ever done!!!”

Caroline is one of my 2021 Senior Spokesmodels and is a senior at Wayne Country Day School. She’s a beach girl at heart, loves all types of animals, and has the prettiest natural smile…and EYELASHES! I could literally photograph this girl all day long. But with as pretty as she is, she also has a kind, personable, out-going heart to match. Spending time with her is always a bright spot in my week!

For her photos, she wanted something with a little more of a “city” feel, but we also wanted some greenery too. I love places like Raleigh because they have all of those things and more right within a few blocks! We started her session at Pullen Park with the most gorgeous sunlight.

When we headed downtown, we went to one of my favorite locations with white walls, interesting architecture, and glass! It was a BRIGHT day and sometimes that makes things a little harder (especially in cities where we have limited access to the sky) but I loved the look!!!

My absolute favorite location Caroline actually brought to the table! We’re always in search for good parking decks because they have amazing views and beautiful sunsets…but they can be tricky to find just the right one. One of her friends let us know the location and when we got up there I was SO excited…and Caroline knew it because I went into overdrive with all of the poses, haha. They’re just too fun!
