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

On September 17, 2015September 17, 2015 By LindyIn photography

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.

Photo of the Day: Nineteen Months Old

On September 16, 2015September 16, 2015 By LindyIn baby, photography

Lil’ Miss K turned 19 months old yesterday – she’ll be 2 before we know it! Her current favorites are talking, throwing a ball, and sliding at the park. She was a bit grumpy while we took these photos – it was almost bedtime and she’d just had vaccination shots. She’s not changing as quickly as she used to, but feel free to compare to last month’s photos.

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.

Photo of the Day: Bright Sunflower

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

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.

Minecraft/Stampy Cat Birthday Party

On August 15, 2015August 14, 2015 By LindyIn photography

My nephew turned ~~seven~~ (wait, he’s twelve? where did the time go?) a couple of weeks ago, so he came up with his own Minecraft/Stampy Cat theme. I’m not sure what all of it means, but I could tell he put a lot of thought and creativity into it! We tried to take a couple of photos with Lil’ Miss K while we were together as a family, which worked out great for my sister and nephew, but not so great for her daddy and me! See what I mean below. 🙂

Bring Your Dog to Work Day

On August 14, 2015August 14, 2015 By LindyIn charity, photography1 Comment

Yesterday my office hosted its annual Bring Your Dog to Work Day in support of the American Cancer Society Bark For Life event. The day began with a doggie meet-and-greet, and the dogs hung out around the office throughout the day. We wrapped up the afternoon with an ice cream social, complete with ice cream doggie treats! I didn’t have a pup to bring to the event, but I did get to doggie-sit while one coworker was on a call. It definitely made for a lively day at the office!
