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

I had so much fun meeting these two!  They are participating in the National Charity Model Search to raise money for the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation.

They were by far some of the most fun kids I’ve had a chance to photograph, so full of personality – and in a good way! Miss “G” was loving the camera, and striking poses right and left, and “R” was great at giving me that serious look that looks so great in photos, and had a great smile to boot.

A big thank you to the “J” family for having me as your photographer!

Last weeks floods made for some beautiful new scenery at Willow Grove beach in Longview – lots of crazy looking new driftwood and logs.   My kiddos and I (and my sister in law and her kids) made a trip down there today to play and take photos.  My kids had so much fun throwing sticks in the water and making sand castles, they were both muddy and wet by the time we left but you could tell they had fun!

My kids and I took a trip out to my parents house in Rose Valley.  They are just in the beginning stages of their new house and broke ground this week.  There were piles of dirt and trenchs everywhere!  Casey and Olivia had so much fun exploring the dirt piles and trenchs and were entertained for hours. It was GREAT!  After they were done, instead of cleaning them up like a good mom, I took pictures.  It was just too precious.  So mom’s, please don’t cringe when you look at these, I promise I bathed them as soon as I could!

My little sisters birthday was the same day and she asked for donuts instead of cake….Olivia LOVED it!   (I’m cringing looking at this and realizing how dirty she really was! lol)

He’s just starting to understand where food really comes from (besides the grocery store!) and is totally fascinated with all the vegetables in my mom’s garden.   He’s cleaning off the carrots here for me.
