Garden and Urban Senior Portrait Session In Raleigh with Carly

Southern Lee High School Graduate's Beautiful Senior Photos In Garden Location That Also Offers an Urban Flair.

Carly is so geniune and a pleasure to work with during her senior portrait session at WRAL Azalea Garden. She chose this location because she wanted an environmental location with flowers, greenery and a urban location for her second outfit which was more casual. She was looking for something a little more interesting than traditional senior pictures.
In Raleigh there are so many amazing locations for photoshoots and Wral Azalea Gardens is a gem for sure. It checks both boxes for locations offering a garden and urban location in one. The light is always stunning which also makes it a popular choice for photographers.
We shared the gardens with hundreds of prom goers during Carly’s session but she did an amazing job and looking at her photos you would think we had had the whole place to ourselves.
