Photo of the Day: Rave Run

On May 21, 2013 By LindyIn photography

On Friday night a few of my friends participated in the Rave Run in Kansas City. The Rave Run is a 5k un-timed race through the dark, with lots of bright, flashing, neon lights; people wearing glow glasses, bracelets, and other crazy apparel; and rave music along the route. Since we weren’t racing the clock, it was fun to run alongside my husband and friends. Despite the fact that we held a conversation the entire time, we still finished in under 29 minutes, according to our watch. Obviously I couldn’t carry my Canon 60d while I ran, so my little point-and-shoot had to suffice.

My husband and I met a new friend on our walk a few nights ago – a very friendly, affectionate cat.

Photo of the Day: Monkey Hands

Monkey bars were most definitely not my favorite piece of playground equipment growing up. In fact, I couldn’t even hold myself up to make my way across them. A couple of days ago, my husband and I took a moment on our walk to play on the monkey bars at a nearby park since there were no kids in sight. Much to my satisfaction, I can now monkey across them. (Is that the right verbiage?)

One of the benefits of our new house is the beautiful walking trail and creek right behind our house. Who knew Missouri could be this pretty?

Photo of the Day: Child’s Pose

For the last few weeks as I’ve been doing yoga more regularly, I’ve noticed the narrow focus your eyes have when you’re in child’s pose and look down toward your feet. Because you’re looking at something so close, very little is in focus. Depth of field in photography works much the same way, so I attempted to capture it with my camera. How did I do? Does what I’m saying even make sense? Am I weird for comparing yoga to photography?

Have you ever tried to photograph a family with six kids? It’s not exactly easy to get everyone looking good at the same time. I thought this one turned out pretty nice though.

I’m proud to say this pansy is part of my flower garden. It’s the first time I’ve been able to say that, since this is first year I’ve had a house and a garden. Here’s to keeping it alive!!

The best days are days spent with family. This weekend we had a full house with my dad’s side of the family, which included 9 adults and 8 kids. My cousin Cyndie’s children all have the most beautiful big, blue eyes. Ruthie is the youngest of 6, and her newborn photos were featured on my blog in October. She’s sure growing fast!

Here are a few photos from Thursday’s newborn/family session. I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family from engagement to their first and second children, and I couldn’t be happier. What a beautiful family!

I couldn’t wait to post this cute photo of Ellie & Annie during Annie’s newborn portraits yesterday. Little Annie, despite making her way into the world a few weeks early and only being a couple of weeks old, was determined to stay awake through the entire photo shoot! I can’t wait to share more photos with you tomorrow.
