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.

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!

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!

A break from the election

On November 9, 2016November 8, 2016 By LindyIn family, photography, portraits

Take a break from the election results to enjoy this sweet, adorable family! The girls were all smiles for me, which made my job so easy! (Daddy didn’t do too bad, either.)

Portrait Session | Wild, Wild “West”

On October 25, 2016 By LindyIn photography, portraits

I had a great time taking photos of this wild & fun family in Kansas City’s West Bottoms this weekend. I’ve shot portraits there three times so far, and every time the backdrop has been completely different and unique. It continues to be a favorite spot of mine! This portrait session was won in a Relay For Life silent auction. I love doing photography for a good cause – and there’s no better cause than fighting cancer – something that touches us all. Bonus: this family was so great to work with…not to mention so photogenic!

Brighter Future, Better Kansas City

On October 11, 2016October 11, 2016 By LindyIn charity, photography

This weekend I had the privilege of photographing Donnelly College’s 10th annual SHINE gala, held at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs. Our advancement team started the day early, with a quick break for a stadium tour before guests started arriving. (In addition to photography, I also designed the invitations, program, signage, slideshow, and more.) The evening included lots of mingling, excellent hors d’oeuvres, a program featuring student and alumni panelists, and a time to raise more funds to keep costs down for underserved students. It was an incredible evening, and I’m so happy I had the chance to capture it!

Back to Portraits

On August 8, 2016 By LindyIn family, photography, portraits

Most of my clients typically stray away from doing photos in the heat of the summer, so this is my first portrait session in a month or so. We lucked out with a relatively cool evening. This is one of my favorite families ever (and yes, I’m partial because Julie is one of my best friends). The older kiddos are loads of fun, and 6-month-old Baby D couldn’t be cuter! He was enthralled with looking down at the grass, so we improvised and had Daddy “toss” him in the air to capture his smile from the right angle.
