We like to go to Powell Gardens, just east of Kansas City, about once a year. They have the most beautiful seasonal gardens around.

Check out last year’s photos, too.

Photos of the Day: A Day at the Zoo

On May 6, 2014 By LindyIn baby, photography

Many of my facebook friends have seen these photos, but my blog friends have not. It’s funny how things change once you’re a parent. For my birthday this year, we spent a day at the zoo!

The Kansas City Zoo has a great new penguin exhibit.

Elephants are one of my favorites, because they are so smart! We watched this one paint a piece of art.

Family Portraits | How time flies

On December 31, 2013December 31, 2013 By LindyIn photography, portraits1 Comment

It’s been two years since I shot photos for this family. When they first booked the session, I though we’d done the photos just last year! Friday was a beautiful day, but still a bit chilly for an outdoor photo session, so we got creative on our indoor photo location. Anyone from the Kansas City area have any guesses on where these photos were taken? As always, I had a great time with this family, especially with the new little addition!

One of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve seen recently was at the Liberty Corn Maze. (Check out yesterday’s post to learn more about this fun outing.)

Photo of the Day: Date Night at the Corn Maze

On November 15, 2013November 15, 2013 By LindyIn nature, photography1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I had a rare, fun evening date at the Liberty Corn Maze. Their mazes are amazing – five different mazes form a really intricate design – this year was the Kansas City WWI Museum. Four of them are over 2.5 miles long! We had a lot of fun finding the checkpoints throughout three of the four mazes.

A side note … this week we had a date night at our local library, watching Charles Dickens’ great-great grandson perform A Christmas Carol! Not only was the performance top-notch, but it was free. As infrequently as we do it, unique date nights are really key to keeping a relationship strong.

Photo of the Day: Fall Photo Walk

On November 4, 2013November 4, 2013 By LindyIn nature, photography4 Comments

This weekend I went with a few friends on one of the most breathtaking hikes I’ve experienced locally – at Weston Bend State Park in Weston, Mo. My friends Julie, Mandy, and myself all brought our cameras (all three of us are bloggers), and we turned it into a photo walk. Five miles of crisp air, fall leaves, and great conversation was definitely the highlight of my weekend. I’ll be sharing a few of my photos over the next few days. Be sure to check out their blogs too!

I posted a photo of the Kansas City Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Monday. Now that I’ve edited the other 300, I wanted to share a few more to give you a sense of this fabulous event. Kansas City raised over $400,000 for the American Cancer Society this year!
