Photo of the Day: Twenty-three Months Old

On January 24, 2016 By LindyIn photography

In less than three weeks, Lil’ Miss K will be turning two. I frequently look back on where we were a year ago, and it’s hard to believe how much has changed. Last year she wasn’t walking yet, and now she’s jumping on a trampoline and running like a pro. A year ago she only said a few words; now she has a vocabulary of a few hundred words, speaks in sentences, and knows many songs by heart. What will the next year bring?

Here’s how she has changed since last month.

New Toddler Toys, Part II

On January 12, 2016January 11, 2016 By LindyIn photography

Yesterday I posted some photos of Lil’ Miss K’s favorite Christmas presents. Here are a few more of her with a tent – she loves crawling through it, playing peek-a-boo, and giggling like crazy when the cats paw at it or jump on it. So much fun! I can’t believe she’ll be two in a few weeks.

New Toddler Toys, Part I

On January 11, 2016January 11, 2016 By LindyIn photography1 Comment

Hello and welcome to 2016! It’s been a while since I’ve posted, especially photos of my own family. We had a great Christmas, and Lil’ Miss K got some really fun gifts. Since we’re in the thick of winter, we’ve spent a lot of time inside playing with her new toys. Her trampoline is definitely a favorite – she loves jumping so much that I’ve enrolled her in a tumbling class! She asks to finger paint most every day, so I’ve converted a pair of Halloween pj’s into paint clothes. I have a few more photos to share with you tomorrow.

An “outdoorsy” indoor photo shoot

On December 15, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

Due to a 36-hour rain shower this weekend, we had to move this family’s photo shoot indoors. Luckily they had a great suggestion of a unique indoor location – Bass Pro Shop! I was a little unsure how it would go with the crowds and the lighting, but I think we were all really happy with how the shoot went. I had such a great time getting to know this energetic and creative family!

Portraits at the Kauffman

On December 14, 2015December 14, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

Another bucket list photo shoot location was checked off this weekend – the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City. It’s an iconic landmark in the city – truly an architectural piece of art. I’m so happy this family suggested doing photos there. Little Theodore is only about 11 months old, but he lasted an entire hour as we got amazing shot after shot. (Doesn’t he have incredible hair?) I’m so happy with how these turned out and can’t wait to edit the rest!

Family Portrait Session | Liberty, MO

On December 8, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

We have been blessed with unseasonably warm weather in Missouri these last few days, and I’m soaking it up – especially when it comes to portrait sessions! This weekend’s December portrait session turned out great with warm weather and a fun, photogenic family. I loved their family dynamic – always joking, going with the flow, and just having a good time, even if the thought of portraits sounded a little terrifying. Here’s a sneak peek!

Portrait Session | Miss M’s Family

On November 16, 2015November 16, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

I had such a great time taking portraits for this energetic family yesterday. My husband teaches with “Miss M,” and I joke that I didn’t know her first name for at least a year, since he tends to call his coworkers by the same names the students use. Despite the chilly temperatures and brisk wind, these two feisty, fun kids did a great job posing and being themselves. (Mom and Dad did pretty well, too.) I’m so happy with how these turned out – I can’t wait to edit the rest!

Portrait Session | Cousins, BFFs

On November 9, 2015November 9, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

I got to spend my beautiful Saturday morning chasing around these two cuties! They are so lucky to get to grow up together as cousins, living close together and hanging out all the time. They couldn’t be any more adorable – especially with their matching sock monkeys and sweaters!

Photo of the Day: Sleeping Beauty

On November 8, 2015November 8, 2015 By LindyIn baby, photography

I’m taking a quick break from my professional photos to peek into our lives this afternoon. Lil’ Miss K always falls asleep on the way home from church, but usually she wakes up when we get her out of the car. Today however, she was so worn out she stayed asleep on Daddy, which gave me a rare opportunity to capture this sweet moment.

Portrait Session | Cash

I had a great time photographing the most well-behaved toddler this weekend! Maybe those of you who know him are laughing, but he was perfect for the photo shoot! He’s not even two yet, but he listened, posed, smiled, and was the best little subject. I did find out he loves rain puddle, though. 😉 We had fun running around downtown Parkville, MO – a cute town with tons of photo ops. We even ran into Elvis, who sung a little Johnny Cash for us.
