Wedding Photography | The Hadleys

On June 1, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits, wedding1 Comment

I had the honor and privilege of photographing my coworker’s wedding this past weekend. I think everyone was a bit bummed out that the rainy weather and cool temps moved the ceremony inside instead of on the lake, but everything was beautiful nonetheless. The bride was stunning in her dress, and the families were so much fun! There’s always a hiccup at a wedding – in this case, the bride couldn’t find her purse, which made her late to her own big day. The guests were laid back and took it in stride. Aside from that, it went off without a hitch. It’s obvious how in love these two are – I was lucky to be a part of their big day.

Landon | Children’s Portraits

This handsome guy is starting kindergarten in the fall! He started out a little shy, but it turn’s out he has a great smile. He looks like he could be modeling for Children’s Place in a couple of these shots. What a fun, cute, kid! These were taken at Crown Center in Kansas City.

Cycle in the City

On May 17, 2015May 16, 2015 By LindyIn photography

Yesterday afternoon we attended Kansas City’s Cycle in the City, where they close down the city’s prettiest street for an afternoon of biking/walking/skating. As a cyclist who always feels in the minority, it was great to see so many families out riding their bikes. I was amazed at how many little 3-4 year olds were riding without training wheels! We also discovered balance bikes, which you can get for toddlers as early as 18 months – it may be our next big splurge for Lil’ Miss K! We had a lot of fun checking out the event – next year we’ll be back with our bikes.

Lil’ Miss K loves playing with Daddy’s sunglasses, but she hates wearing her own!

Lovin’ the Playground

I’ve loved every stage of Lil’ Miss K’s life so far, but I’m really savoring this time. I can see the wheels turning as she thinks, learns, and explores more every day. She repeats words we recite to her all the time now. My favorites are “cracker” and “magnet” and “owl”. I’ve been taking her to the park near our house almost daily, but it has mulch, so it’s not easy for her to run around and play freely. (She likes to sit down and attempt to eat the wood chips.) The playground at the zoo however, is paradise. She had a blast! The slide is her favorite.

Springtime at the Zoo

We recently made our first trip of the season to the zoo! We went first thing on a rainy, dreary Friday morning, thinking it wouldn’t be crowded at all. We were wrong! There were tons of school groups there. But we still enjoyed ourselves – spring and fall are by far the best times to visit the zoo. The animals were so active! We got to see two monkeys jumping furiously from branch to branch chasing each other for several minutes, and my favorite moment was when Lil’ Miss K walked up to the glass at the penguin exhibit and the penguins immediately hopped out of the water and waddled over to check her out. We have season passes to the zoo, so we’ll be back several times this year.

CJ’s Turning Three!

On February 11, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

My most loyal customers returned this past weekend for a photo session of CJ, just in time for his third birthday! We planned an indoor session at Crown Center in Kansas City, but the weather was so gorgeous, we were able to take it outside by the fountains! We had to sneak in a couple pictures of Sissy too, of course.

Check out his one-year old pictures here.

Photo(s) of the Day: You Can Never Get Tired of the Zoo

We’re Friends of the Zoo this year, so we’ve gone three time so far. Fall is definitely the best time to go. There are no crowds, and the cooler weather means more active animals. I have to give credit – most of these photos were taken by my increasingly photo-savvy husband. 🙂

Photo(s) of the Day: On the Farmstead

On July 25, 2014July 25, 2014 By LindyIn baby, photography1 Comment

This weekend Baby K and I visited Deanna Rose Farmstead with two of my best friends and their four kiddos. These friends are two of four siblings, with a total of seven kids ages three and under. They’re used to the beautiful chaos of lots of children … I am not. But I loved every minute of it.

Feeding the ducks was quite a hit. For the kids and the ducks.

Beautiful, curious eyes. So proud to be her Godmother.

Look at that smile, and that hair! Such a pretty girl.

Photo(s) of the Day: Biggest Little Royals Fan Ever

On June 30, 2014June 30, 2014 By LindyIn baby, photography

This weekend we attended Baby K’s third Royals game! You may think I’m a huge baseball fan, but I admit that isn’t exactly true. I do enjoy baseball, but usually one Royals game a year is enough for me. We just happened to have the opportunity to go to three games this season – and we sure picked a great one for it! Baby K is obviously good luck – they won all three games we attended. And she’s on her way to being an even bigger fan, because her Uncle Matt spoiled her with some cute girly Royals onesies!

Portrait Session | Six Month Old Heidi

On June 11, 2014June 11, 2014 By LindyIn baby, photography, portraits

This weekend I had the pleasure of taking pictures of someone else’s baby for a change! This is one of my favorite photo sessions to-date. Six-month old Heidi was so happy and curious the entire time. Her parents both came up with ideas for the shoot and were open to my ideas as well. And … we had perfect weather! Here are just a few of my favorite images, taken at Park University.
