Caroline’s Senior Portraits in Historic Bath & Goose Creek, NC: A Timeless Summer Evening

There are some sessions that feel like pure magic from the very first frame.  Although it was my first big senior portrait session of the evening, Caroline’s senior session in Historic Bath and Goose Creek was one of those unforgettable evenings.  Luckily, it wasn’t my first time walking along these pathways! In fact, as soon as I showed them Riley Meadows’ previous senior portraits there, they were all in!  It is OKAY to use the same locations as other seniors!

Historic Bath

From the moment she arrived, Caroline brought such a calm confidence and natural grace that made photographing her an absolute joy.  She is so laid back and even in my admitting I forgot my changing tent, she went with the flow!  We began her senior portraits in Historic Bath, North Carolina — a town steeped in charm, history, and the kind of light that makes every photo feel like a painting. With cobblestone walkways, colonial architecture, and the river glistening nearby, it was the perfect backdrop to reflect this exciting chapter in Caroline’s life with her family by her side!

Goose Creek State Park

As golden hour approached, we ventured to Goose Creek State Park. I have a deep appreciate for our state parks and the people it takes to maintain such beautiful areas. The scenery here is something out of a dream — tall grass swaying in the breeze, moss-draped trees, and soft, dappled light peeking through the canopy. Caroline looked effortlessly radiant in every setting, her smile bright and her laughter completely contagious. Whether she was walking barefoot along the water’s edge or twirling in a sun-soaked clearing, she brought a kind of light that couldn’t be staged.

One of my favorite things about working with seniors is helping them feel confident and celebrated — and Caroline embraced the process with such a beautiful spirit. She trusted me fully, let loose, and wasn’t afraid to laugh at herself. The result? Genuine, joy-filled portraits that capture not just what she looks like, but who she is — vibrant, grounded, and full of promise for the future.

To Caroline: thank you for letting me be part of this special moment in your life. I hope these images always remind you of your strength, beauty, and the exciting path ahead. You’re going to do amazing things — and I’m so honored to have captured a little piece of your story.

Here’s to chasing light, embracing the moment, and stepping boldly into what’s next.
