CURRENTLY WANDERING

Hi!  We are a God loving family: Jason, Lyndsay, Ty, Taryn, Jude, Jonah and Zachary. In 2017 we sold our 2,400 square home in Leander, Texas, along with most of our belongings and bought a 400 square foot fifth wheel RV to hit the road and travel full time with 4 of our 5 kids and 2 dogs (Maggie and Pepper). We longed for a more simple life with less stuff and more adventure.  Our goal is to eventually visit all 50 states!  Our bucket list is long and we love adventure, hiking and national parks!  Lyndsay is a professional family travel photographer and loves capturing all their family adventures.  We hope you’ll follow along on our journey!

WHERE TO NEXT?

We left Texas late 2017 and went to Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. In 2018 we hit the southwest, west coast and pacific northwest before looping back down to Texas for the fall and winter. In 2019 we meandered up the east coast, jumping up to Michigan and across to Maine before heading back to Texas for winter.  2020 landed us quarantining in Alabama before heading out Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.  Winter in 2020 took us to Texas, Alabama and Florida, including the Keys.  2021 we hopped around the east coast.  2022 was spent in Utah, Oregon, and Washington before we did the “wiggle down the middle” through the midwest.  We visited our 48th state in early 2023!  We spent 2023 on the East coast including Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts and North Carolina.  2024 brought us back to the west, Taryn graduated high school in Moab, was an extra on The Chosen TV series and we spent our summer in Colorado where she was an intern learning how to farm.  In 2025 we are headed to Washington state to serve the church.

Little T’s View

I picked up the D50 this morning on the way out to Mommy-n-Me. Thought I would try and catch a glimpse of her view of the world….. Dodging the Papparazzi. Peek-A-Boo. And finally, the rear view. Thanks for stopping by!

an old favorite

I love going back and revisiting images I haven’t seen in awhile, it’s like visiting an old friend. The mom recently ordered this from a session last spring, I think both Mom and baby look gorgeous! The look of love in her eyes gets me. And I am so looking forward to our session next month, the best part of my job is getting to watch the children I photograph grow… She decided to get it on a 16×20 gallery wrap canvas, I can’t wait to get it!! I’ll be stalking Mr. UPS like crazy!

Thing 1

Thought I’d log in and share a few more of Jayden before I take off to a proof viewing this evening. His little cousin bought him this outfit and I love it! He’s so strong for a 3 month old, I just can’t get over it. I think the first pose is one of my new favorites! And look at his big eyes!!

adios, photographer lady

Last picture I took of the day. See it? Look close now… Julianne sending me off in style! LOL 🙂

k.a.r.m.a.

My mom has been giving me a pretty hard time, all in good fun of course, both in person and here on the blog (see comments). Now, Ty, knows nothing about this. He would be mortified if he discovered I was posting for the world to read about the adventures of Mr. Huffy Pants. Keep his oblivion in mind as you read on…. So Ty and I were over visiting my mom this afternoon. My mom was standing next to Ty when she commented on how tall he is….. GeeGee: Wow, look how tall you are, almost as tall as me, you need to stop growing! Ty: GeeGee, I’m not tall, I think you’re just shrinking…..you know, cause you oooooold. […]

Just wait…

until you see his dimples! Just one for now from my session today. Remember Aidan? This is Aidan’s little buddy, Ethan. Their mom’s have been friends since practically birth! Little Ethan is quite the little charmer, he had lots of smiles, funny bubbles and drool and even fell asleep for a little while, a photographer’s dream. To Ethan’s mommy and daddy, thank you for the priviledge of photographing your adorable son. I wish you all health and happiness for many years to come!

rainbows are funny

I’m not normally a sepia kind of girl, but I think I’m in love with how creamy these are. Totally unexpected conversion. And how cute is she? I think in about half of the captures I caught that day little Julianne had her tongue sticking out. Thankfully every time her big sister said “Julianne – you wonna talk about rainboooooows?” we got this. Funny baby belly laughs. Too cute!

RUN!!!…..run for your lives!!!

They are here. And in my opinion, it’s much, much, much too soon. The attitude, the huffiness, the impatience for anything parent related, the drama, shutting himself in his room over every little thing, the problems in school, the realization that while girls are still gross, there is still just something about them that makes you crazy. Pre-teen hormones. I’ve dreaded this day. It’s been building slowly over the last few months. I notice he huffs a lot more. He gets really frustrated when something doesn’t go his way. And you know, Jason and I were just saying that we’re in the “home stretch” with Ty. He’s 9, we’re half way there. Well, I know that you never really stop […]

yeah, it’s still march

I changed my pricing for 2007 and my clients had until March 1 to order at the pricing originally quoted to them. This has resulted in quite a few orders coming in and I have to admit, as crazy as it has been, I’ve had a blast going through so many photographs I haven’t looked at in a long time. It’s like visiting an old friend. I came across this and realized with the Christmas rush I totally forgot to post it! This family is so much fun to be around and this is just so them! Just looking at it again made me laugh outloud!

a mess

A great big fabulous mess. This totally cracks me up!!! Isn’t Addison hilarious!?! I still can’t believe she’s turning 1. I was proofing this the other day and Taryn kept walking by my laptop saying “Uh Oh Mommy, no no baby, mess!”. She just knew that baby was gonna get in trouble! LOL

inbetween

See that look in Ross’s eyes?….he looks like he might just be up to something! LOL….and he was, right after I snapped this he started nudging his sister to try and ger her off the bench. Sometimes I love catching those inbetween moments, either right before or right after something happens. Inbetween is sometimes way more interesting and revealing, don’t you think?

Ross, Emery & Julianne

Meet Ross, Emery and Julianne. LOVE their names and all three are just as cute as can be. And very, very cooperative. Usually photographing three children in this age range can take several hours, but not these troopers! Just over an hour for individuals of all three kids, kid groups shots, full family photos, just the girls, just the guys and a bunch of just the baby…..wow! And look at this, all three are giving me great eye contact AND smiles!! Happy kids, fun family and patient Mom and Dad, they have been waiting on their proofs because my laptop was in the shop. Thanks guys for bearing with me!! I owe my friend Chrissy a great big thank you […]
