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

A few weeks back I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Abby.  She looked absolutely gorgeous for her pictueres and I had so much fun with her!  We did the majority of her session at her home, but then drove around to a few other locations, finishing out at Willow Grove Beach.  Thank you so much Abby for having me as your photographer!!!

This one was one of my absolute FAVES from the session – I was totally thrilled when Abby’s mom ordered this as a 24″ by 36″ canvas….it’s going to look AWESOME!

Had a blast with Kyler at his senior session.   We trekked all over….totally lucked out with the lovely weather, and I throughly enjoyed the session!  Thank you guys for having me as your photographer!

I met up with Lane awhile back for her second senior photo session – this year senior mini’s have been a huge hit for me.  I’ve been doing one session in fall and one in spring with two completely different looks, it’s making for some great variety in the sessions and I’m loving the results of these!

Thank you  Lane for having me as your photographer!

Lisa is graduating from Kelso High School this year, I met up with her yesterday to do her photos.  I have to say I was super excited to do her session!    She had some great ideas going into the session, and I was more than willing to accomdate.

I always love the sessions where the seniors show up with their personality – the ones that have ideas and know what they want.  As a photographer, I definately have my own ideas of how a session should go, but it’s all me and my art, and I can’t necessarily drag my clients personality out of them (though I sure try sometimes!) So when a client shows up and says “Hey, I want to wear a dress and jump in the river!” or ” I want to wear my converse and sit on a dumpster.”  I’m super excited because not only am I taking a photo of them, I am taking a photo of who they are! I get an oppurtunity to capture something that embodies them.  Those are the photos I love, those are the photos my clients love, and more than likely those are the ones I can’t wait to stick in my portfolio because they are just flat-out cool!

So if you’re booking a session with me and have ideas, share away!  I can’t wait to hear them!!!!

Thank you Lisa!  I hope you enjoy your preview!

This session is especially cool for me since this is my little sister!  She’s going to be graduating class of ’09, and it’s seriously making me feel old!     I can remember going to see my new little sis in the hospital when she was born – my brother telling my mom “she should have been a boy!” All the times my brother and dared her to do stuff (“eat the pinecone and we’ll give you a million dollars!”) and she did them!   All the crazy fun times, fights, family vacations, and friendships -  life goes by so fast, and I seriously can’t believe the little girl who ate the pinecone is now all grown up!

So here she is -  Charisma Joy Brennan, 18 years old and a soon to be homeschool graduate!  Congratulations!!!!!!
