Jessica Lemmons Photography Blog, Longview Washington (Wa.) photographer.

Children’s photography is so much fun!  These kids had the CUTEST personalities and such great attitudes the whole time we were shooting.   It really was a pleasure to photograph them!    We met down at the lake in Longview and found out that the Japanese Gardens were all locked up…not such a great thing since I shoot there a lot. Hopefully they will re-open soon!

Fortunately the whole lake area is gorgeous and we got lot’s of great photos!

Please enjoy the “C” families sneak peek!

No – it’s not their real names, but their Dad did try to talk me into photo-shopping it on their birth certificate!

Meet the Rowley boys for the very first time! You might remember the Rowley family from their family/maternity session awhile back http://jessicalemmonsphotography.com/blog/?p=125.  Well, the boys are here and doing GREAT!   This was my very first newborn session with twins, so I was super excited to be their photographer…I had so much fun! 

This photo was just for their Dad – my husband and their Dad work out together and are both huge UFC fans, so of course this shot was the fave of the session! 

I finally got a facebook a couple months ago….it’s taken me that long to figure it all out, but I’m finally there – I “get” facebook!  Why am I telling you all of this?  I’ve created a business page on facebook which will soon have coupons, discounts and fun promotionals added to it….once I figure out how to add them.  Plus, if you have a facebook I can tag you in the photos that I blog here, which means you will be able to share your photos that I’ve blogged for free with your friends and family, plus they will look absolutely stellar in your online photo albums.    All you have to do is add me as a friend via this link http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=1412005554&ref=profile Once you’ve added me as a friend, go to my pages, choose Jessica Lemmons Photography, and become a fan.  You have to become a fan to get tagged.  You can also join the group “Jessica Lemmons Photography” – which is how you will receive promotional info in the future.  Hope to see you over there!

My Dad works at the Kalama Export Company located in (where else?) Kalama Washington.  On Monday he was driving trains around the track that surrounds the company and getting them all ready for the ship where the grain ends up being transferred too and then shipped out overseas.  Normally my Dad’s job is to operate the conveyor belts that move the grain from the silos to the ship, but on this day he was riding the train around, so he invited us down to take a ride with him. The boss was gone for the days so conditions were perfect!

Casey has loved Thomas the Train since he was a baby (in fact his whole room is decorated in it!) so this was an extra special treat for him.  He was a bit intimidated at first – I don’t think he expected it to be quite as loud as it was.

Olivia LOVED blowing the whistle and burst out laughing every time it went off!

Miss Olivia dumped baby oil in her hair this morning and the bath couldn’t get it all out…I love how she looks like she’s been working all day and is covered grease. 

Casey’s weird smile in this one has been cracking me up all day!

The Kalama Export Co.   – the little box up on top of the catwalks and conveyor belts is where my Dad normally works.  He took me up there when I was a little kid…I got to go right up next to an osprey nest and take photos of the babies, one of my all time fave childhood memories (and I wish I knew where those photos are)  unfortunately OSHA doesn’t let kids on grain elevators anymore….something about safety management or something like that.  

Kara will be graduating from Cornerstone academy with the class of 2009.  I had a fun time shooting at Lake Sacajawea and downtown Longview with this girl.  We lucked out – the rain held off long enough for us to get plenty of photos, and just as we were finishing up the rain started pouring down. Gotta love good old Washington weather! 

Thank you Kara for having me as your senior photographer!  Congratulations on your success and the rest of your photos will be up soon!
