Wayne Country Day School Senior Photos in Goldsboro, NC | Eliza and Hannah

April 28, 2018

What’s better than a #DakotaHerseySenior session? Doing it with your best friend! I have a special place in my heart for best friend sessions because this is a lot of what I did when I first started photographing seniors. It’s alway so fun because there is someone to help make you feel confident and you get photos of not only you, but the two of you together!

Eliza and Hannah reached out to me because they wanted to celebrate the end of their senior year together and get photos in their future college t-shirts. We met in downtown Goldsboro, NC at Herman Park and spent the evening in the bright sunlight! The park was full of blooming flowers and big magnolia trees. I wish spring lasted all year long! (Except for the pollen…I can live without that.)

They had the cutest outfits they had collaborated on. They even joked about how the outfits accidentally matched their personalities in their friendship. Eliza is more “extra” and done up while Hannah prefers to be casual –– and much like them, their outfits were the perfect pair!
