Milford high school graduating senior Melson will be pursing nursing on a pre-med track this fall. He plans to continue to be involved various missions in the Philippines: religious, medical, dental, surgical and educational. He plans to have more travels, especially national parks both domestic and international. Melson said this about his experience with JBP, “The pressure-free and chill mode experience from planning to the actual day of photo shoot was the best part. Mrs. Jill Kuykendall made the whole process an adventure and fun time. It was so relaxing and definitely a time to remember. She made me feel so comfortable the entire time as if we’ve known each other for several years already. She guided me on my outfits too which is quite of a big deal for Senior Photos and special shout out to Mr. Kuykendall for helping me with my necktie!”. Melson! All the best to you at Villanova next year! I can’t wait to see what your future holds and I know you’ll be amazing at whatever you put your mind to! GO WILDCATS!

FHS Senior Bradley will be attending Lehigh University majoring in finance in the fall. He said best part of high school has been the friendships and the best part of his senior year was the basketball season; from the pre-season workouts to the Orlando tournament, the undefeated season to our deep playoff run, it was a blast. Bradley said, “JBP took our family photos growing up so when it was time to schedule a senior session, there was no question that Jill was the right person to go with. She really makes you feel comfortable so you can relax and be yourself. Find someone you feel comfortable with and that understands what you are looking to get out of the session so that it is a good experience.” Bradley! It’s hard to believe that little boy I photographed all those years ago is graduating and off to college! All the BEST to you at Lehigh!!! I’m honored that I was a part of your journey growing up! #02038

Franklin High School Senior Noah will be working on a NASCAR race team after high school and he will be attending UNC Charlotte in the fall studying Motorsport Engineering (way cool!). He says the best part of high school was traveling abroad to Spain and Greece and that he could go back in time he would tell his old freshman self, “Don’t worry, your dreams will start to come true!”. He said he choose JBP because, “Jill has a reputation if working well with kids and being creative and flexible. She picked a great location and let our dog be photographed!” (which by the way, I LOVE photographing dogs!). Noah! Have the best time at UNC and enjoy every minute on the NASCAR scene! #02038

Next up for the Senior Spotlight is Nina! She’ll be attending UMass Amherst in the Isenberg School for Business. She says the best part of high school was the bonds and memories she made in hockey season and she loved the lunch runs every day her senior year with her friends. 3 items on her bucket list are to run a successful business, ski Aspen at night, and visit Rome. When it comes to senior photos with JBP, Nina said that the session was so easy and fun, it was a stress free process all the way through! Her advice on finding a photographer, “Definitely go with someone you are comfortable with. My pictures were beautiful and look so natural.” Thank you, Nina! I’ve loved watching you grow up into a beautiful young woman and know you will be successful at anything you put your mind to! All the best to you at UMass! Go Minutemen! #02038

FHS graduating senior Ashley will be studying at the College of Charleston with a double major in dance and early childhood education. She says the best part of high school has been getting to know all new people and making new friendships. 3 bucket list items are to travel the world, swim with sharks and try new foods (great list, Ashley!). She was a part of the Franklin School for Performing Arts throughout high school and spent a lot of her extra-curricular time there. She had heard good things about JBP from other people and says Jill was very accommodating, patient and had great service and packages to choose from. Ashley, I hope you enjoy the few remaining days as a senior at FHS and that your session came together better than you could have ever imagined. You rocked it girl! All the best to you at CofC! #02038

Current Bishop Feehan senior, Bryce will be attending University of Tennessee Haslam School of Business, Majoring in Supply Chain Management. Bryce says the best part of his senior year was the hockey season where he was team captain, along with the golf team! Three things on his bucket list are to ski the Alps, travel Europe, and smoke a cigar at Neyland Stadium (Go Vols!). When it came to JBP Bryce said, “Jill is one of the best photographers in the area. She took my sisters senior photos, and I knew I didn't want anyone else but her to take mine. I liked that fact I could choose my own location. Jill allowed me to incorporate all the things important to me and the photos really captured my personality.” Thanks so much for choosing JBP, Bryce! I’ve enjoyed watching you grow up and I can’t wait to see what your future holds for you at UT and beyond! #02703 #02038

Soon to be graduate, Dylan (aka D-Mac!), will be attending the University of New Hampshire this fall majoring in finance.

The best part of his senior year has been doing his senior project at the Franklin Fire Department. 3 things on his bucket list are to graduate, go away, and make friends in college (you got this, D-Mac!). All the best to you at UNH this fall. Go Wildcats! #02038

Thank you, Lauren, for the wonderful testimonial! It's been fun watching you grow up over the many years and become the amazing young woman you are!

Next up is graduating senior Alex! Alex will be attending Sacred Heart University in the fall and plans to major in Digital Marketing. She says the best part of high school has been meeting new people and having different experiences. The best part of senior year has been going to sporting events, playing soccer and running winter track (she even went to Nationals!). When it comes to finding the right senior photographer Alex recommends finding someone who has different locations to choose from and that she loved taking photos in Newport. Alex says, “I loved taking pictures with Jill and she made me feel so comfortable”. Alex, your session came together beautifully and I loved working with you! All the best to you at SHU! Go Pioneers! #02038

So excited to share the first (of many!) Senior Spotlight for the Class of 2024! Katie! She will be attending Providence College (Go Friars!) this fall majoring in marketing. She said the best part of high school was discovering her passion for business related studies and furthering her academic success in the business world (Katie was even a DECA Champion!) and finding her forever friends 💕 The best part of senior year? Being captain of softball, committing to college, wrapping up high school and starting senior project. When asked what advice she would give to others in when looking for a senior photographer Katie said, “CHOOSE JILLY BEAN BECAUSE SHE IS THE ULTIMATE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER!”. Thank you, Katie!!!!

Working on this gorgeous custom order for Ashley today! I loved everything about her session and it’s crazy to think we started the planning for this while she was on a performance tour in Europe (how cool is that?!). Needless to say she was a natural in front of the camera! Ashley I can’t wait for you to see the final products from this shoot! Thanks for choosing JBP!!

This guy right here debuted in front of my lens 9 years ago. To say it’s an honor to photograph him again is an understatement! The fact that families come back over the years is the greatest compliment to me. Bradley, you’ve matured into a great young man! Good luck to you in your senior year. You’re going to crush it!!

I’ve been quiet over here and it’s not because of a lack of content to post! It’s finding some time to post them!! Alex! You were amazing to work with and I hope your senior photos came together better than you could have imagined! Sunsets in Newport never disappoint!
