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

So I totally loved the soundtrack for this particular wedding – Beatles songs and covers played for quite a few of the events during the wedding and I haven’t been able to get the songs out of my head since!

Judah and Becca had a seriously BEAUTIFUL wedding.   Everything was so classy and stylish.  The couple was amazing too.  Judah I’ve known….well, forever – we were childhood friends, I guess we were even dedicated together as babies (though I don’t remember that far back).  He’s just one of those genuinely nice people that you can’t help but like.  Becca I just met two weeks ago, and I have to say that I was definately impressed by Judah’s pick for his bride!  She was so sweet to me throughout the whole day and had been to me throughout all of the last minute planning too.   I don’t think I’ve ever had such a laid back and friendly bride.

I had a wonderful time…weddings can often be stressful to photograph, but that was SOOO not the case with this wedding.  Every thing was planned so perfectly ahead of time (their wedding planner Molly Guler did an awesome job there!) and so all of the key events just rolled right along.   It was amazing just getting to be a part of it!

Thank you so much for having me Judah and Becca!  I was honered to get to be a part of your day and I hope you enjoy these photos for years to come!

Saturday I got together with 7 lovely models and 3 other local photographers to do a Trash the Dress session in Kalama.   The shoot went amazing, lasting about 6 hours total.    I got some amazing photos and models totally ROCKED it!  I still haven’t even had a chance to go through everything that I got, but I didn’t want to make the gals wait forever to see a preview so I pulled one real quick for each gal to share on here.   There will be lots more to come later this week!

I met up with the “N” family last week for a family session out in Rose Valley.   Mrs “N” was my old neighbor from when I was a child.  We did the session out in the pasture that is in between her parents house and my parents old house.   I hadn’t been out there in years and couldn’t stop remembering all of the good times my siblings and I had growing up in some of these very spots that I was shooting in! 

When Mrs. N first contacted me and said she had 15 month old twins, I got nervous inside – 15 months is a tricky age to photograph no matter how great the kids are, but two of them….wow! But I’m pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised by these sweet little gals!  They were amazing the entire session and both of them gave me lots of adorable little smiles and giggles.  It was great!

A big thank you to the “N” family for having me as your photographer! I hope you enjoy your preview!

Mr. K is one week old today!  I met up with him and his mom for a newborn session this morning.  He did so awesome the whole time -  Great little sleeper and just so precious!   Newborn sessions are always my favorites.  I joke around that getting my baby fix with all these newborns is what keeps me from having another one right away. 

Thank you Mr.K and family for having me as your photographer and I hope you enjoy your preview!

This gal was just adorable – super sporty, yet totally girly at the same time!  She brought some great ideas with her, one of my favorites (you’ll see it) was with her catchers gear.  We walked around the school campus and sports fields and found some great little areas there to shoot at, when we were finished at the high school we went down to the Columbia River to a little park and finished up the session there.

We lucked out and got a BEAUTIFUL day yesterday, I was able to wear a tank top and flip-flops to the shoot – haven’t been able to do that since September and it felt great!  Hopefully more beautiful weather is on it’s way!

Thanks again Kaylie!  I really enjoyed meeting you and I hope you enjoy your preview!

Kaylie is a catcher for the R.A.Long softball team, I LOVE how these two turned out!
