Springtime at the Zoo

On April 29, 2015April 29, 2015 By LindyIn kansas city, photography2 Comments

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.

Baby Caleb | Newborn Photos

On April 28, 2015 By LindyIn baby, photography

I’m always excited to visit to the hospital when my friends and family give birth – there’s not much better than holding a sweet newborn baby. I got to meet baby Caleb when he was just two days old. He was absolutely perfect – not a blemish to be found. He’s one week old today, and I’m sure he’s already changed! His mama went through a lot to bring him into this world – it’s the beginning of a lifetime of love for this little one.

These photos turned out pretty decent, despite the fact that we shot them right before bed, and she was diagnosed with bronchitis today (poor baby). Lil’ Miss K is a trooper in my book!

Happy Easter!

We had a beautiful day celebrating Easter with family! Little Miss K was only about 6-7 weeks old last Easter, so it was fun to see her enjoying her Easter basket and eggs.

Photo of the Day: First Bike Ride

Spring has sprung (at least for now) in Kansas City! After getting a bike trailer for Christmas and a bike helmet for Lil’ Miss K’s first birthday, we were anxious to take her out on her first bike ride. Snacks and water in hand, she seemed quite excited to try something new. She giggled for several minutes as we took off down the path. Forty minutes later, she had about had enough, but it was a successful first ride! She’ll be doing Bike Across Kansas in no time.

Photo(s) of the Day: Lil’ Miss K Around the House

Last weekend we were snowed/ice in (or at least we were advised by family not to make the 3-hour drive to visit during poor road conditions). It was a blessing in disguise. Lil’ Miss K was sick with her fifth ear infection, so I was glad we were home rather than on the road. And it was a rare treat to get an entire weekend to play at home. It’s fun watching her explore and learn. I can just see those little wheels in her brain turning. As an added bonus: snow on the ground = bright outside = nice indoor lighting!

(By the way, she will be getting tubes in the near future. If anyone has any advice or words of wisdom about tubes, please let me know. I’ve heard nothing but good things about them.)

If you’re looking for design work, please reach out to me! I offer special discounts for friends/family and non-profits. Be sure to check out my portfolio website for more of my work.

Photo(s) of the Day: A Year in Review: Part II

On March 3, 2015March 3, 2015 By LindyIn baby, photography2 Comments

Not only did I take photos outside with Baby K each month, but I also took photos of her on a rocking chair from my childhood, with a quilt her great-grandma made her. I didn’t want to post both each month, but I’ve collected them all here for you to see. The lighting wasn’t always the best, and sometimes she was grumpy, but I love seeing how she has grown. Month 8 is my favorite! Be sure to check out Part I if you missed it.

Better late than never, right? Two weeks after Lil’ Miss K’s first birthday, I’ve finally gotten around to putting together a photo collage of her monthly photos. Part I is the photos I posted online each month. (It may take a few moments to load.) Part II is a set of unpublished photos, never seen on the blog before. The suspense must be killing you, I know! Stay tuned…

Photo(s) of the Day: Cake Smash!

On February 17, 2015 By LindyIn baby, photography

Baby K had a great time devouring her first birthday cake! It took her a bit of time to figure out what to do, and the cake was a little too dense for her to make big mess, but she definitely enjoyed each bite!

A big thank you to my friend Mandy for taking my camera and doing a fantastic job capturing these priceless memories.
