Family in the Fall

On October 3, 2017 By LindyIn family, photography, portraits

Large portrait sessions are sometimes hard to coordinate. We’ve been planning this one for almost a year, but a couple of circumstances delayed it for quite a while. It’s almost like it was meant to be – the weather was absolutely perfect! This family was full of laughter and jokes. Many changes in my life have slowed down my photography this year, but they made me remember exactly why I love taking portraits. Thank you for that! Oh, and a throwback: I took photos of the youngest a couple of years ago.

Baby Abigail

On September 11, 2017November 17, 2017 By LindyIn baby, family, photography, portraits

One of my favorite photo families welcomed their third baby girl last week, and I had the honor of taking some newborn and family photos of them. They invited me (well, I invited myself) into their home just a few days after birth, because I was hoping to get both those sweet sleeping baby photos (the ones where you can pose them however you like), along with some awake photos. Unlike my newborn daughter, Abby was wide awake the entire time! I may not have captured a lot of posed shots of her, but I definitely got to showcase her beautiful newborn eyes and get some great shots of the family. You can tell they’re so in love with their newest edition!

Portraits in the City of Fountains

On June 28, 2017 By LindyIn photography, portraits

After multiple scheduling conflicts over the last couple of months, I finally had a chance to photograph one of my favorite families at a gorgeous fountain in North Kansas City. I did their family portraits last summer and Baby D’s newborn portraits before that. I always love looking back to see how kids have grown! Their kiddos like to ham it up for the camera, which makes my job super fun!

Spring Portraits

On April 20, 2017November 17, 2017 By LindyIn family, photography, portraits

With spring comes warmer weather…and wind! We definitely fought wind this portrait session, but the kiddos (and parents) did great. I couldn’t believe how much little Ethan smiled and posed for the camera. I’ve been doing this family’s photos since their engagement session close to a decade ago. Those photos were actually at the same park – in the wintertime! They live on the other side of the country now, but we’re always able to catch up when they come back to visit.

Easter Sunday Joy

On April 17, 2017 By LindyIn christ, church, photography

This past weekend was packed with Easter fun! We discovered Lil’ Miss K loves the Easter bunny 10 times over Santa Clause (who she was afraid of). When she saw him at the egg hunt, she ran up to him waving and saying, “Hiii!! It’s me!!” She showed him her most prized possession (her baby), gave him a hug, and posed for photos. (Is this my girl??)

Sunday morning, Lil’ Miss K hunted some eggs before we rushed around to make it to church. Since we just moved, we tried out a new church. We really enjoyed the service, but we sure missed our pastor and friends. Afterward, we hosted our first official meal in our new house. For the first time in several years, the weather on Easter was beautiful – so we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Portrait Session | Midwest Weather

On March 12, 2017 By LindyIn family, photography

I took these portraits last weekend in about 70-degree weather. This weekend it snowed. That’s the Midwest for you! I’m hoping for more spring and less winter in the near future. I love this family…and the fact that they always bring grandparents to the photo shoot to help wrangle the kids and make them laugh. It works like a charm!

Portrait Session | My Converse Family

On December 4, 2016 By LindyIn photography, portraits

One of the things I love the most about this family is that they always have coordinating Chuck Taylors. In fact, they said they own too many pairs to count. I also love that they do semi-annual family photos. Check out their last summer and winter portraits to see how their little one has grown. That boy’s eyes. They get me every time!

Thankful | Family Portraits

On November 23, 2016November 23, 2016 By LindyIn photography, portraits

As we approach Thanksgiving, I just want to say how thankful I am for all of my clients. You help me grow as a photographer each time you book a session, refer a friend, or even like my work on social media. I’m also thankful for this family – new clients who were open to a new location. They really toughed out cold, windy weather this afternoon, especially after just returning from a trip to Hawaii! I think the end result was worth it.

Family Portraits | Downtown Parkville

On November 21, 2016 By LindyIn photography, portraits

Fall weather has finally arrived in Kansas City. The wind was brisk, but the sun was shining and the mood was upbeat at this weekend’s portrait session in downtown Parkville. This continues to be one of my favorite places to take photos, with so many quaint storefronts and neat buildings. I had a great time getting to know this family and capturing their personality!

Family Portraits | Sweet Pups

On November 20, 2016November 20, 2016 By LindyIn photography, portraits

One of my favorite portrait sessions each year is this family – because they let me shoot and design their humorous Christmas cards! They always have the most creative ideas. I can’t show their card just yet, but I did want to share a couple of photos of them. They are the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and their dogs are seriously adorable, sweet, and so well-behaved.
