UNCW Senior Graduate Best Friend Photos | Reilly and Chetna

August 21, 2020

Even with the craziness of graduation changes and rescheduling’s this year, I still was able to work with so many college graduates. I love being back on UNCW’s campus and remembering what it was like when that was the bubble I lived in!

Graduate photos are always so special when they’re shared. A lot of girls bring their moms or family members, and some decide to share it with their besties!! Best friend shoots are SO much fun because we get plenty of individuals AND group shots. I mean, this is the person who made the last four years as fun as they were!!!

Reilly and Chetna made an entire day of it, starting with getting their hair done together and then meeting me on campus! We started at both of their academic buildings, used my favorite fountain (you just can’t beat the lighting!), and then headed to the Seahawk!

The champagne photos are probably my favorite from the whole day!

After capturing everything we wanted on campus, we headed to Wrightsville Beach for more casual, cute headshots. I love when we get to be a little more playful with our posing and Reilly and Chetna were down for it all, including getting in the water!

I’m so excited for them to enter the “real world” even though some of the things are more challenging than we were expecting. I know they’re going to do great things –– and will be continuing to cheer each other on the whole time!

Here are a few of my favorites from their UNCW senior graduate photos 🙂
