So Carlie is a friend of mine... she did my hair awhile back and with balayage/babylights she made my blonde hair look amazing! She contacted me recently about possibly doing a vintage session and I was so excited to shoot with her.

With three different outfit changes, I took a combination of both digital and film photos. I love the way film photography looks, but sometimes it is convenient to see the photo right then and there on a digital camera. With the first dress she wore, Carlie was such a floral beauty! It was super windy and walking down by the water her dress was getting the bottom of it soaked.. but she was so natural and fun to work with.

After leaving Crystal Pier we headed down to South End and the sunset was beautiful. Perfect weather too. I am very pleased with all the photos and I hope you will enjoy! Go follow Carlie Sturtz {@carlie_noel on Instagram} and if you ever need your hair cut/colored/fixed, go see her at Head to Toe Salon here in Wrightsville Beach, NC!

If you would like to setup a photoshoot in Wilmington or on the Outer Banks, send me an email or find me on Instagram! {briannadiggs5@gmail.com} {@gypseababe on Insta} I'm open to any and all ideas!

Well I promised myself I wouldn't write a sappy blog post about finishing college and getting my degree...{BUT just wanted to throw it out there} that today was my final last day of college classes...and after my exams, I will obtain my degree in Marketing with a Minor in Studio Art from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

I have been so fortunate to have so many amazing professors and being able to join the Cameron Executive Network with my mentor Bob Pious was one of the best things I could have invested in! Huge shout out to Courtney Johnson as well...as my photography professor, Courtney has taught me everything I know about film and has pushed me to even progress with color film photography and start a directed independent study with her. She is such a great human and wonderful photographer and I truly admire her. UNCW has so much to offer. Take advantage of your time in college because it will go by so fast.

UNCW is truly a beautiful campus and I am definitely going to miss it. Here are some of my photographs throughout my college career. Most are taken in Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach with a few exceptions. From learning how to use a film camera to progressing with 35mm film and playing with color film photography... I have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and can't wait to see what the future post-grad life has in store for me!
