About Us

Carolina Photography is a proud family-owned and operated business dedicated to delivering exceptional portraits and preserving treasured school-day memories. Established in 1962 by Hal Lackey, the company has grown into one of North Carolina’s leading school photography organizations. Today, Hal’s sons, Carl and David Lackey, continue the family tradition—building on a legacy of quality, integrity, and service to the schools and families we serve.
We provide professional studio-style photography for school portraits, sports, special events, and yearbooks. Our photography programs also give back—providing schools with valuable fundraising opportunities that support students and their success. We are grateful to be a trusted partner in our communities.
