The “B” kids – Children’s photography in Longview, WA

These kids were seriously perfect.

I don’t think I’ve ever photographed kids this well-behaved before. I kept teasing the mom about her amazing kids, but she reassured me that they aren’t always so perfect. I think my kids should learn some behavior skills from them. They are all simply beautiful and get along great with each other.

Thanks to the mom for this wonderful session. It totally made my day!!

look at this handsome little guy… doesn’t he just melt your heart??

and yes, she is as sweet as she looks.

She totally reminds me of my daughter. Very loving towards her siblings and she’s one smart cookie!

these last two are my absolute favorite images from this week.

Little Miss C

Miss C and I had a quick 15 minute session together yesterday. She’s independent and cute as cute can be. At one point she started getting sassy with me (which honestly I didn’t notice since I have a little girl of my own and it’s common). Anyhow, her mama said “you need to apologize to Miss Jenica.” To which Miss C said “Miss Jenica I apologize for being rude and I would like to ask for your forgiveness. Could you please forgive me?”

I almost melted into a puddle right there.

She was so genuine and sincere in her apology. Her mom and dad are teaching her well! I know quite a few adults who could learn this lesson (myself including). How often we don’t admit when we’re wrong and ask for forgiveness. She did it right away and without hesitation.

Sometimes I learn some great lessons from those that are small.

Edited to add: due to some weird color shift changes from firefox, I changed the pictures from the post. Sorry about the neon colors. I figured out my issue now. Enjoy the (smaller) photos.

Three…

My Tinker turned three yesterday.

Where did the time go? He’s growing so fast I can’t keep up. He has friends now. He made sure they were all invited to “my burstday party.” He collects Pez dispensers so it made sense to have a “pez pizza party.” Of course while shopping for his party stuff, he then decided he wanted trucks for the decor. It all worked out fine since I had found pez in the shape of trucks. I didn’t realize how many different kinds of Pez dispensers existed until I found pez.com. I now understand how far parents will go when trying to keep up with a kids’ hobby. He keeps hiz Pez in a special spiderman backpack he carries around everywhere we go. He has about 50 pez dispensers. All with different names. Some are twins, some have candy. They are all special to him and if he misplaces one, the world ends and we have to find it before we can move on.

Happy Birthday Tinker. I love you. Pez and all.

A day at the beach….

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…

Five down…

Miss K lost another tooth. She’s got a crazy gapped smile now. I love kids….

goofy grin

SNOW!!!!

My kids enjoying the snow yesterday.

(Don’t worry, their hands didn’t freeze. We were only out for a few minutes.)

Studio Photos – The “G” kids

Jenica Lemmons — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 02:15:58 +0000

I met the G family at their house in Kelso for an in-home studio session. Normally I do outdoor photos for kids over six months, but after three days of non-stop rain, it just wasn’t going to happen! So we set up shop in their living room.

It was crazy trying to wrangle the three of them to get photos, but amazingly we managed. They seemed to have a good time, even though I tortured them with goofy faces and crazy sounds. All in all I think it was a success!

I hope you enjoy the preview!

“Just hanging around” – The G family

Jenica Lemmons — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:14:21 +0000

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

Jenica Lemmons — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 18:31:19 +0000

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…

Mohawks and Converse- a family lifestyle session

Jenica Lemmons — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:08:02 +0000

My favoritest family. This is my sister -in-law and her family (our husbands are brothers). I met them out at Willow Grove for a family session on Sunday night. Willow Grove beach is one of my new favorite places to photograph. There’s so many wonderful places out there. We had such a blast together. She’s a fellow photog, so it was really fun coming up with ideas for her portraits. They are such a hip, fun family.

They make Derrick and I look like old folks when we hang out. I guess I need to become cool sometime soon. I love these guys and their originality!!

I hope you enjoy the preview…

Seven months old…

Jenica Lemmons — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:29:31 +0000

Mr. D is now seven months old. He’s almost crawling already. He scoots himself all over the floor and rolls around to get to where he wants to be. He tries so hard to sit up, but he has such a big head that I think he can’t quite balance it yet (a trait of my kids is having large heads, must be a Lemmons thing). He’s also teething, so hence the drool. I kinda think it’s cute, but I often have “mommy goggles” when it comes to my kids.
