Topsail High School Senior Photos on Wrightsville Beach, NC | Maddie McFadyen

October 9, 2020

I heard about Maddie from one of my 2020 seniors and I have been so excited to meet her and take her photos! First, she is so beautiful AND so fun to hang out with. Second, her primary colors are pink and white…I am in LOVE! They are the perfect colors for the beach because they pair so well with palm trees, bright light, and the blue ocean.

I’m also super excited for Maddie because she just found out she’ll be attending her dream school next year –– East Carolina! We talked so much about her plans to go there and only a few days after our session she got her acceptance letter!! She’s definitely going to miss the beach since that’s where she spends all of her time now, but I’m sure her friends won’t mind going home with her every once in a while!

For her senior photos, she wanted everything beach, bright, and PINK. We started in the heart of Wrightsville Beach, on the bridge and at the boat docks. I love this area so much for the light!! We even found a palm tree that I was just dying over.

We ended her session on the south end of the beach with the most gorgeous GLOW. I was living for her flowy skirt and her walking in the water!!! It doesn’t even look real!

Maddie, thank you for trusting me with your senior photos and I can’t wait to grab lunch the next time you’re here!! Good luck with the rest of your senior year!
