Lorraine McNamara was born February 18, 1999 in Washington, D.C.. She has four brothers and one sister. She attends Connelly School of the Holy Child in Potomac, Maryland.
On the ice from age two and a half, McNamara began training under Elena Novak and Alexei Kiliakov at the Wheaton Ice Dance Academy as a young child. She teamed up with her first ice dancing partner when she was six and skated with him for five months.
McNamara began skating with Quinn Carpenter in 2005. They won the junior bronze medal at the 2012 U.S. Championships but McNamara was too young to be sent to the 2012 World Junior Championships.
In 2012–13, McNamara/Carpenter became age-eligible for junior internationals. In August 2012, they finished sixth in their Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut, in Courchevel, France. They placed fourth the following month at their second JGP assignment, in Istanbul, Turkey. After winning the junior bronze medal at the U.S. Championships, McNamara/Carpenter were assigned to the World Junior Championships in Milan. They placed 8th in the short dance, 11th in the free dance, and 9th overall in Italy.
