Sweetheart Photos in Fort Fisher, NC | Hallie and Cole

July 29, 2019

I have to start off by saying I LOVE Hallie Rouse. Our families grew up together and she was on my first senior spokesmodel team. She is absolutely gorgeous AND has the personality to match!

She and Cole recently celebrated their 3rd anniversary and Cole wanted to surprise her with photos since they’ve never taken any with each other!

He also got her a giftcard to Mimi’s Boutique so she could buy a new outfit too –– what a sweetheart!!!

They knew they wanted something beachy so we headed down to the rocks at Fort Fisher, NC for their sweetheart session.

Hallie and Cole started out with their casual outfit and then Hallie changed into two of the prettiest dresses I’ve seen! I love bright maxi dresses on the beach!!

We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather for July and Hallie and Cole kept me laughing the whole time.

I do have to say my favorites are from the end of the session on the jetty –– the colors are just gorgeous!!

Which are your favorites? Let me know in the comments!!
