Lemon Drops Photography :: A day at the beach….

A day at the beach….

Jenica Lemmons — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:12:13 +0000

I met up with my sister in law for a play date at the beach with our kiddos (and our cameras in tow of course). K was in school, so it was just me and the boys. I wanted to get some pics of Mr. D for his first birthday. Course he was more interested in the sand than smiling at mom, but he had fun. Mr. I was in heaven with all the sticks to throw. It’s not often he gets to throw things and not get in trouble for it.

The flooding caused the entire beach layout to change with all the extra driftwood. It was calm and clear and a perfect day.

yes, he never stops drooling…. poor kid…

Baby it’s cold outside – The R Family

I met the R family out in Kelso for a fun (and REALLY cold) family portrait session. They are old family friends and Mrs. R is quite the photographer herself. We have traveled the world together as our husbands were both in the Army together. We were stationed in South Korea at the same time as well as in Hawaii. My middle son (mr. I) is 10 days older than her oldest daughter Miss N. My tiniest son (mr. D) is 8 days older than her Miss K. How weird is that?!!!

We’ve already decided it’s going to be a pre-arranged marriage for both of them since we already like the in-laws. Mr. I kept talking about Miss N, so we think they might decide to get married on their own anyway. Wishful thinking, right?!!

Anyway, they were adorable and quite the troopers when the temperature was only 20 degrees outside. Thank goodness for hot chocolate bribes

a park playdate!

I took mister I and mister D to a park play date with my good friend and her boys. I haven’t played with my camera in awhile (other than sessions) so I wanted to get some pics of mister I and his best buddy. We get together as often as we can (weather permitting) so our boys can run off some steam together. They’re quite the pair. Always wanting to play baseball and fight. I didn’t get any pics of mister D since he was napping in his stroller. I’ll have to take some of him tomorrow.

shooting the breeze…

my serious kid… seems like every time I point the camera in his direction….

Miss N was able to get a smile out of him!

“Just hanging around” – The G family

This family was full of laughs and full of fun. I met up with them at the usual spot at Lake Sacajawea here in Longview. We originally planned on meeting up at Silverlake in Castle Rock, WA, but the weather had other plans. We almost got rained out, but we managed to sneak in a session in-between rain showers. It worked out perfectly.

The G family was great to photograph. Their kids are hysterical. Their little boy is just a few weeks older than my Little D-man. He was so cute!! Their little girl’s spit fire personality reminded me of my middle guy. She was hysterical and always trying to get me to laugh.

Thanks so much for a fun session!

I hope you enjoy your preview….

Sometimes sessions are just FUN! – The “B” family

This family was hilarious. I think I had as much fun as the kids did. We had fun making silly faces at each other and messing around. We met up at Lake Sacajawea here in Longview at the Asian Gardens. It was fun running around and acting like nut cases. We got a few formal pictures in there, but for the most part I got lots of laughs and fun interacting shots. Those are the best ones, you know!

This session totally fit my style. Thanks B family for letting me photograph your beautiful family!

Hope you enjoy the preview…

Little Mister “E” – 14 month old toddler session

Jenica Lemmons — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:02:15 +0000

This little guy melted my heart. He was ALL boy and a fun little guy at that. He automatically went towards the dirt as soon as we got to the park. It was so cute!! Here he was surrounded by all sorts of slides and swings and he just wanted to play in the dirt. His mom was totally relaxed and just let him do his thing. It was the perfect lifestyle session. I got a few smiles out of him, but for the most part he was a pretty focused, serious guy.

We met up at Horseshoe Lake park in Woodland, WA. I love this location. It’s perfect for all sorts of sessions. They have the water, the park area, a field, and plenty of trees. It’s also close to downtown so it’s easy to do “urban” sessions as well.

Hope you enjoy the preview…

Check out these gorgeous blue eyes!!!

this one completely cracks me up. Check out that face!!!!

and a very fitting storyboard…. (I LOVE this one)

Boys will be boys….

While at a birthday party yesterday in Woodland, my son decided it would be fun to play in the dirt. Most kids will get a little dirty and run around, but my son decided to cover himself from head to toe. Along with trying to eat the dirt, he decided it would be a good idea to ‘save a little dirt for later’ by stuffing some in his pockets. I literally held him by his ankles and shook him out. I probably should have just stripped him down and hosed him off, but he thought it was pretty funny having all the dirt fly out around his head. Notice the red lip from his run in with the ground yesterday (the ground won). He’s a tough little cookie. It’s so much fun having little boys after having a girly girl. Miss K likes to get dirty, don’t get me wrong, but it’s nothing like this…
