Personal

Everyone thinks pregnancy is nine months (and it is!), but it’s the WHOLE nine months, and 40 weeks is actually the START of month 10! Baby Roman decided to ignore the nine/ten month suggestion and stick to her own timeline. My pregnancy was super easy and low-key, so OF COURSE, birth would be quite the opposite…

When Andrew and I planned our New Zealand road trip, we had several bucket list destinations, including Crystal Cathedral, Pancake Rocks, and Queenstown, but what’s a trip to New Zealand without spontaneous adventures? We made room for a little bit of both, and here I’ve complied a list of our favorite adventures on both North and South Island. Every sight was breathtaking and awe-inspiring, and we are soooo ready to head back!!

Andrew and I spent ten days exploring both the North and South Islands of New Zealand in the fall, and it was hands-down the most magical ten days EVER!!! We rented a campervan and traveled to national parks, glaciers, hot springs, and just anywhere that was beautiful (which was everywhere!). Campervan life was totally new to us, so I thought I’d share the basics of what campervan life is all about!

You know what they say about the best laid plans….

Andrew and I had planned to keep the gender of our sweet little baby a surprise, but life had other plans! High school biology class proved helpful yet again in a rather unexpected way. Read on for all the details and to find out officially whether or not Baby Roman is a girl or a boy!!

You’ve seen those perfect pregnancy reveals on social media. You know- where the wife has this elaborate or intimate way to share the big news with her spouse, family, friends, etc. Well, that wasn’t us!! Our pregnancy reveal is silly, surprising, and simple- which fits my and Andrew’s personalities! Some of you may have seen parts of the story on my Insta, but read below for all the hilarious details!

2018. What a freaking year. It was the year my business quite literally expanded and skyrocketed beyond my wildest dreams. 2018 took me all over the United States, to Europe, and to New Zealand. I started a side business hosting in person photography workshops, I hit 6 figures, and I was blessed to photograph 80 different love stories. WHAT…

As a wedding photographer, I get asked a lot to share the story of my own wedding. I typically start by saying Andrew and I got married May 23, 2016 on a quaint farm in Weston, Missouri. We went for a whimsical rustic vibe in an orchard and a twinkly lit barn. We had a full wedding party, 6 girls and 6 boys. Our guests size was pretty large. Then I always smile as I tell them this next part…

2017 was an incredible year for Lindsey Noel Photography. It was the year I honed in on my editing style and finally transitioned towards specialising in adventurous destination weddings and intimate elopements. I’m so proud of the work I created in 2017, and cannot wait for what’s in store next year. It was so hard to narrow down my favorite photos from this year, but here we go…
