Lyndsey and I play on the same church league softball team. I know what you are thinking. “Oh, Church League. How cute.” No. You OBVIOUSLY don’t know our church. I’ve never seen a more competitive church group in all of my life, and I love it. Well, sometimes it’s a little bit of pressure. I mean, when you go up to bat and know that when everyone tells you “Hey, it’s okay, you’ll do better next time.” They are actually calculating how much harder I (or… ahem….some person) has made it for the team to take the lead in that inning. But, I mean, it’s okay to lose, right? Wrong. Not in this church league.
So Lyndsey is a great fit for the team. She looks like a cute gal who threw on some athletic clothes and happened to be able to show up for the game that night. I mean, sure, she’s athletic looking, but no one would guess she’s practically the secret weapon in the outfield. Seriously, this girl is AWESOME! I’m usually the one over in right field cheering her on in between the time I’m picking blades of grass and twirling the gum in my mouth. Well, not exactly, but the point is, she’s got some mad skills!
When Lyndsey asked me if I could photograph her family, I was super excited! I had been able to meet them at some of the softball games, so I immediately started thinking of session ideas. The session ended up being only half an hour, due to the overcoming desire for the McDonald’s playground (you know how it is… McDonalds ROCKS!), but I love what we got! Enjoy!
