Celebrating Emily’s senior year with a breathtaking photoshoot in the Outer Banks, Sarah Hilts Photography delivered a stunning collection of portraits. Emily, a senior at John A. Holmes High School and active in tennis and school events, experienced a memorable senior session across iconic Outer Banks locations.
Originally planned as a single session, the unpredictable coastal weather led to a split photoshoot. The first part, under warm and overcast skies, captured beautiful moments, but the makeup day brought perfect conditions, elevating the entire experience. The session unfolded across three distinct Outer Banks gems, each providing a unique backdrop for Emily’s portraits.
The day began at Pirates Cove, a picturesque marina filled with charming boats. This location offered a nautical vibe, contrasting beautifully with Emily’s youthful energy. Moving on, Jockey Ridge State Park presented a dramatic shift in scenery. Here, under the bright, full sun, Sarah Hilts captured images that, while deviating from her typical style, are undeniably captivating. The stark sunlight against the dunes created a high-impact, unforgettable set of photos.
Finally, the session culminated at Coquina Beach, a renowned Outer Banks location for photographers, especially during the golden hour. True to its reputation, Coquina Beach delivered spectacular golden light and a mesmerizing sunset sky. The images from this location are particularly enchanting, showcasing the magic of Outer Banks sunsets and Emily’s radiant personality.
Beyond being a client, Emily shares a special bond with Sarah Hilts, her cousin. Sarah fondly remembers Emily as her first “model” and a cherished companion in playful adventures. This personal connection shines through in the warmth and genuine emotion captured in the photographs. Sarah expresses immense pride in Emily’s accomplishments and future, making this senior portrait session even more meaningful.
