SWEET Janie Ella!!! I am so glad that she found me through Instagram and talking with her friends because she is such a bright light in your day! I love a girl who is compassionate, easy to work with, and laid back…which she definitely demonstrated with her patience when it was raining at the start of her session! Once the drizzling subsided, it was actually a million degrees outside, but she kept a smile on her face the whole time. Thankfully it cooled off more as we got down by the water!

Janie is a senior at East Duplin High School, where she’s involved in HOSA and other health-related clubs. She’s definitely going to help a lot of people one day as she pursues her career! For now though she’s spending a lot of time at the beach enjoying the sun (a girl after my own heart).

I loved hanging out with her and her mom as we walked around the New Hanover Arboretum to find different blooms and greenery. They even trusted me to walk them to a brand new little spot I found at the beach with bright flowers that went perfectly with her hot pink top!

We ended the session in the best way –– splashing in the ocean! Those are some of my favorites because of her natural laugh AND gorgeous model face. Get you a girl that can do both!!!

Here are just a few of my favorites 🙂
