Wayne School of Engineering Senior Photos in Downtown Wilmington, NC | Kourtni Gerken

December 10, 2019

Sweet, sweet Kourtni! I have spent some time around her this year because she works at Mimi’s Boutique and is really close with many of my spokesmodels. I’m so sad she wasn’t on my team this year! But thankfully I work with lots of seniors outside of my spokesmodel team and we got to spend a full afternoon together 🙂

She’s a senior at Wayne School of Engineering, loves playing tennis, and will be attending Meredith College next year for their pre-physician’s assistant program! I just know she’s going to love it. Her mom is in the medical field and she’ll be graduating with her masters at the same time Kourtni will be graduating high school. My mom and I did the same thing (graduating at the same time, not in the medial field, ha!) and it was so special to have us both in caps and gowns!

For Kourtni’s senior photos, she wanted the historic charm of downtown Wilmington with a warmer, trendier feel –– and her outfits were perfect for that! She’s like straight out of a Vestique instagram post.

We were actually both overcoming sicknesses during her shoot but the weather was so beautiful I’m so glad we pushed through. We’re so lucky to be able to shoot outside even in the winter time and not be freezing!

Here are a few of my favorites from her downtown Wilmington senior photos 🙂 I can’t get enough of these fall colors!!
