As a senior portrait photographer, June keeps me busy photographing upcoming graduates. Recently, I’ve been highlighting the historic Roanoke Rapids High School’s class of 2017. The school, a community cornerstone since 1920, is a grand, cherished building with a storied past that I deeply appreciate, especially when revisiting its halls.

The LPJ Photography 2018 Senior Team, featuring 15 talented rising seniors, convened for the first time for a brand-themed photoshoot. Students showcased personal items, received individualized gifts, and had their hair and makeup professionally done. Each student’s unique attributes and accomplishments were highlighted, from athletic achievements to academic pursuits and personal growth.

As a photographer passionate about connecting with teens, Lymarie Portela Jackson builds time into each of her sessions to better pour attention and affirmation into her teen clients. She is touched when authentic connections are made, and they later seek her advice.

Photographer Lymarie captured lively football-themed photos of the Saffian children at UNC-Chapel Hill’s Keenan Stadium and the track, where energetic tag-football and cherished traditions blended. The unexpected encounter with Carolina Football kicker Freeman Jones added a personal touch to the spirited session.

Lymarie of LPJ Photography announces a special “Sparkle and Shine Marathon” for March 26, offering 30-minute sessions with no fee, just purchase from special collections. Spots are limited, first come, first served. Clients like Madelyn Dickinson can expect VIP treatment to feel like stars.

As a Senior Portrait Photographer, I ensure my clients are comfortable by incorporating their passions into the session with props and activities which both help to reveal their personalities and set them at ease. For more on what to expect, see my Client Guide.

As a Senior Photographer, I specialize in providing seniors and young adults with a stress-relieving, confidence-boosting photography session. I recently worked with Sacha, an aspiring model, helping her to see her own beauty and potential, reminding her of her uniqueness and worth. I encourage giving photo sessions as gifts to remind others of their value.
