I am constantly working to improve on that mission to better serve the people who put their trust in me, and recently I have hit the “pamper my clients” jackpot.
If I had to name one thing I treasure most about my photography, it is the relationship I build with my clients. It is the power my craft gives me to empower them, feed them, and help them see the best version of themselves. It is the ability to indulge them, serve them, and leave them feeling important and loved.

Get Pampered
Many teens are good at doing their own hair and makeup. But sitting in a professional's chair takes the stress out of getting ready. Share your inspiration pictures with them, tell them what your likes are... and then get ready to be pampered!

North Carolina weather can be extreme. What if it's so hot and humid that your make up tries to melt or your curls fall out? What if it's so cold that your nose turns read and runs? No problem! We have someone there to fix it!

About two weeks after your session you will have your reveal night where I will treat you with delicious goodies, and you will get to see all of your images for the first time through a video slide show set to music. That night I will use my experience to help you choose products that will beautifully showcase your session. From stunning wall art, to premium albums, to personal phone apps for sharing your photos on the go – LPJ Photography has a full range of products to meet your needs!
I’m guessing that right now you are saying “But I want the digital files!” Don’t worry, I completely understand where you are coming from. I value digital files as much as you do (otherwise I wouldn’t have a stack of hard drive files with previous family memories!). LPJ offers collections that include digital files along with quality products for your family to enjoy. You will get the best of both worlds AND get them for a lower price when they’re combined in a collection.

"When I look at all the photos Lymarie has taken of me, I never noticed the things about myself that I am usually so self conscious about. When I look at my pictures, I just feel so beautiful."
"I am amazed by Lymarie’s talent and what she does. Thank you, Lymarie, for making me feel pretty!"
-Sheri Beals

"She helped with clothing suggestions and coordinated locations to match the outfit. I have seen Lymarie climb on objects, lie on the ground, or get into the water to get the right shot!"
"Lymarie has always made my daughter comfortable in front of the camera."

Where do portrait sessions take place?
Book early to get your preferred month and day! We also want to leave plenty of time for your fashion consult and planning, so booking 4-8 months in advance is the norm! Our days available for shooting are limited to a handful per month, and dates go quickly for our busy Seniors. Remember, we do not schedule multiple shoots per day so that all of our attention can be focused on our Senior and their session. We also do not shoot on Reveal Nights or Fashion Consult days and have left room in our weekly schedule to account for rainouts or other scheduling issues that may arise for our clients.
WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SESSION?
WHERE DO PORTRAIT SESSIONS TAKE PLACE?
The session retainer is due with your contract at the time of booking to secure your date, with a Pre-Paid Order Credit for the Deluxe Extended session due by your session date. Anything else you purchase is due on your Reveal and Ordering Night. The Pre-Paid Order Credit will be applied to your balance on Reveal Night.
Cash rocks my world, but checks and credit cards are welcomed.

should i hire a hair a make up artist?
Professional hair and makeup makes a world of a difference for your portraits. We encourage on-site hair & makeup styling for our deluxe sessions and even connect our clients with one of the trusted artists on our team. Many people are good at doing their own hair and makeup. But sitting in a professional’s chair takes the stress out of getting ready, and having a hair and makeup artist on-site both allows us to change your look more completely between outfits and helps us to keep your look fresh despite hot or cold weather.
