UNCW Senior Graduate Photos at UNCW and Wrightsville Beach, NC | Danielle Rusnak

July 23, 2020

Sweet Dani!!! I met Danielle last year during Alpha Chi’s recruitment. We went from not knowing each other to spending full weeks and nights together! She was on the recruitment leadership team and as the recruitment advisor, we do a LOT together in the fall. She was a lifesaver and I am going to miss her SO much next year, but I also know with her work ethic and sweet personality, she’s going to do amazing things!

This year has been weird for all of my graduates, as they try to celebrate their accomplishments even though their senior year was basically cut in half and prepare for the next step, though it’s all a little uncertain. If all things go as planned, Danielle will be heading to Meredith in the fall to pursue a Master’s in interior design!

For her senior photos, we opted to meet earlyyyy in the morning (of course for me that’s like 8am and she was all dressed up and ready to go, lol). I loved this because we were able to get shots that I don’t typically get to with the position of the sun!

After doing photos all over campus, with the Seahawk, and at the Cameron School of Business, we headed to the beach! The early morning light also let us use another location only reserved for mornings and cloudy days –– pretty thankful!!

Here are just a few of my favorites 🙂 Congratulations, Danielle!!!
