Wilmington Senior Photos in Wrightsville Beach, NC | Jenna Oliver

September 17, 2019

Jenna is the first of my 2020 senior spokesmodels to have her individual session! We’ve been planning this one before she had even applied to the team!!

She is a senior at Charles B. Aycock High School and is one of the sweetest, most chill girls I have ever met! Jenna is always a joy to be around and is very low key hilarious –– one of my favorite traits in a person!!

We did have to reschedule her session for Hurricane Dorian but it was totally worth it because of all the blooms!!

If you love flowers and want them to be part of your senior session, now is the time to schedule!!!

We started on UNCW’s campus for a pretty, tropical background and a fun park vibe. Then we headed to the Arboretum for lots of flowers, and then Wrightsville Beach for a gorgeous sunset.

Also, I want to give a huge shoutout to:

For our second location, we headed to the New Hanover Arboretum. I love this little spot because there are always so many colors and textures! There are a ton of flowers in bloom right now.

Next Jenna changed into this hot pink jumper from Mimi’s Boutique. It matched perfectly with the pink flowers in bloom at the Arboretum right now!

There are SO many flowers in bloom in Wilmington right now!!! September is definitely still a part of “summer”!

For our last location we headed to Wrightsville Beach, NC! It was a little windy by the pier but we had the most beautiful cotton candy colored sunset!

I loved Jenna’s dress because it was such a pretty color and flowed in the wind. She wanted to have some of her in the water and I LOVED that! The water almost looks like snow!
