You know – photographers shoot and shoot and shoot, but rarely do we actually get to have our own family pictures taken by someone else. Well a dear friend of mine who happens to be a FANTASTIC photographer ~ Jessica Lemmons ~ agreed to take our family pictures. So we exchanged. I did hers and she did mine. The cool part is that she lives in the mountains which provided some amazing shooting areas!!!
So here are the images I took of her and her family. Enjoy.
Any child’s dream – to run free in the open


I felt right at home with her family. They could relate to having 5 kids. I know there are plenty who have multiple kids but here in Washington you get a whole lot of gawking and comments. When you run into someone who has been there and just gets it you feel like you are around family! Such a darling, fun, loving family!


Jessica is not only a great photographer – she is a great MOM too. It was hard not to get teary eyed around her and her children with all the love you could see in their faces. It was precious!







Thanks again for the opportunity Jessica. It was such a pleasure to take all your pictures – and I absolutely adore the ones of our family you took.
