WSE High School Senior in Downtown Wilmington, NC | Fayth Serlik

March 11, 2019

Fayth is a senior at Wayne School of Engineering in Goldsboro, NC and even though she’s about to graduate she almost already has her associates degree!!

She knew that she wanted to have a mix of fields and greenery for her session but also wanted some city shots to be a little more “glam.” I knew downtown Wilmington would be perfect because there are so many areas that offer both.

We started her session in some areas with bold colors for lots of POP and then moved down closer to the water for a more nature-feel.

I have used a few different parking decks in Wilmington but we ventured to this one for the first time ever and I loved the way it turned out! Even with the cloudy day, we were able to get great light and even a little “Beyonce” wind in her hair (which is to DIE for, by the way!).

Here are my favorites from her downtown Wilmington senior session 🙂

I just love this blue garage wall…especially with her yellow tank!!!

Of course we had to get a few with her beau, who was so patient and sweet with us walking alllll around downtown!

These are some of my favorites! Her hair is so beautiful and so is her “model” face!

Can you believe this location is in the city?!

Love this one of her laugh!

Okay, these are actually my favorites!!!! She trusted me when I asked her to lay down next to the flowers…it felt a little weird at first but these photos are SO worth it!!!

Now to the parking deck!!! I loved the way all of the colors worked together!
