Photo of the Day: Standing Tall

On September 17, 2014September 17, 2014 By LindyIn photography

I took this photo about a week ago, but as usual, I’m behind on photo editing/posting. Baby K doesn’t pull up yet, but if we prop her up against our ottomans, she can stand by herself for about a minute. So big!

Photo of the Day: Seven Months Old

Again, it’s hard to believe another month has passed. She just moved to a new room at daycare where they have scheduled nap times, so she’s sleeping a little less than normal. Since she was tired, she was pretty grouchy for this pictures – no smiles this month.

Here are a few photos from our family get-together. You can’t beat an evening of croquet on the lawn and s’mores on the fire pit!

My parents’ front porch swing isn’t just for sipping lemonade and watching the sunset. We get that thing to movin’. Baby K thinks the higher, the faster, the better!

Photo(s) of the Day: It Runs in the Family

On September 8, 2014September 8, 2014 By LindyIn family, photography

This weekend during a family get-together, I let my eleven-year-old nephew experiment with my camera. He asked a great question about making part of the photo blurry, so I did my best to explain depth of field to him. He took all of these photos below – on manual mode. I think he truly has an eye for photography!

Sometimes Daddy is the only one who can make it better.

Photo of the Day: Still Summer

It’s still summer for a few more weeks, and it’s still ~~finally~~ hot out here in the Midwest, so why not break out a fancy summer dress for church? She looked so pretty I just had to get a shot. This one’s for Grandma Sue.

Photo(s) of the Day: Nature Sanctuary

On September 4, 2014September 4, 2014 By LindyIn nature, photography

One of the aspects I love about where I live is that despite the size (pop. ~30,000), and the location (the Midwest), there are still fun things to do. The Matha Lafite Thompson Nature Sanctuary is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon. We’ve taken a picnic and gone on a few hikes there twice now, but this was the first time with Baby K. Saturday felt like a nice day, until we started hiking in the sun. It was hot. We saw a lot of small wildlife though, and it was so nice to have a laid back Saturday afternoon – the first one in months! If only we had Labor Day once a week instead of once a year!
