Senior Portraits | Damon

On October 12, 2015October 12, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits, seniors1 Comment

Yesterday afternoon I got to photograph Damon’s senior portraits in a unique new spot in St. Joe – and it was perfect! (Aside from record high temperatures.) If I lived closer I’d shoot there more often. I felt like I was visiting ancient ruins in a European country. Bonus: he did a great job posing, smiling, and being himself. I’m very happy with the results!

Check out the senior photos I did last year on a farm. If you’re interested in having me shoot senior portraits, click the “contact me” link above.

Portrait Session | My Most Loyal Customers

On October 7, 2015 By LindyIn family, photography, portraits

Here are a few favorites from this weekend’s photos shoot with my most loyal customers. I’ve had the pleasure of shooting a lot of their milestones – from their engagement back when I first started taking semi-professional photos, to their daughter and son’s birthdays. I love watching this beautiful family grow.

Here are a few of my photos from the supermoon lunar eclipse last night. What a beautiful evening it was!

Portrait Session | My Family

On September 26, 2015 By LindyIn photography, portraits

Once every few years, we take family photos with my husband’s side of the family. This time around, my mother-in-law entrusted them to me. I shot these with a tripod, remote, and big memory card. It’s not easy getting 9 adults and 4 kids to look at the camera, keep their eyes open, and smile. Aside from glare on some of the glasses (which we worked pretty hard to try and avoid), I’m pretty happy with the results!

Fun with Cousins

I love these little people! My cousins are all such cool kids – I only wish we got to spend more time with them. We had a blast with them last weekend. Check out photos here and here from last year’s get-together.

Photo of the Day: Family Tradition

This porch swing at my parents’ house is becoming part of a family tradition at our end-of-summer/birthday get-together. Check out photos here and here from last year – Lil’ Miss K was so tiny! I love the smiles and laughter that this swing brings our family.

Lesson in Photography | Natural Light

On September 14, 2015 By LindyIn photography

If you wonder why I only book portrait sessions at the beginning or end of the day – this is why. We squeezed in a visit to Grinter Farms last week between church and lunch, which was unfortunately right around noon – the worst possible time of day to take outdoor photos. Notice the sun beating down on us, the awful shadows on our faces, and the squinty eyes? The “golden hour” right before sunset or right after sunrise is the best time for natural light. I will say I’m still happy we got to visit this huge, beautiful sunflower field. Next year we’ll be sure to visit much earlier or later in the day so I can get even better photos.

One of thousands, maybe even millions, of sunflowers at Grinter Farms, in … you guessed it … Kansas (the sunflower state).

Photos of the Day: Simple Play

On August 25, 2015 By LindyIn photography

Sometimes we just need to hang out at home. Lil’ Miss K and I had the best time just hanging out in her room a couple of days ago. She loves to close the door, wait for me to ask where she is, and burst in to “surprise” me! She also enjoys playing with toys that have been hidden away in her toy box for a while, even if she is getting a bit to old for them. Oh, how i love this girl.

Photo of the Day: Eighteen Months Old

I’m a couple of days behind, but Lil’ Miss K turned a year and a half old on Saturday! It’s hard to believe she’s halfway to two. Here’s how she has grown since last month.
