Sometimes I capture a beautiful portrait. Other times I’m lucky enough to capture the essence of exactly who someone is. Ha!
It’s funny because her Mom and I were chatting at the end of their session about capturing little Faith moments that tell the story of exactly who she is. Then I came home and peeked at my card to find this gem. Gosh I just love this girl!
It’s always a little shocking to see big kids walk up, smile and give me a big hug at the beginning of a session….especially when I’m completely sure they were just babies a couple of days ago. Photographing this sweet family through the years is always such an honor. And while it was a little cold, we had some pretty sweet light last night!
Several of you have asked so I decided to open up an evening of mini sessions in the fall! It’s the perfect time to update your family photos and get a few photos of the kids to give as gifts or use for your Christmas card!
I currently have 3 mini sessions open on the evening of November 14, 2020 in Round Rock, Texas! Each mini session includes one immediately family and 30 minutes of shooting time. Five full resolution images are included in the price of $350. You will be presented with at least 15 to choose from. You can see the differences between a Signature Session and Mini Session here.
I expect these to go fast so don’t delay! If you’d like to grab one email me at lstradtner@mac.com. You can see all available fall session dates here.
I’ve known Sara online for a really long time and I was so excited to get her and her beautiful family in front of my camera for the first time! They were so much fun, my face hurt from smiling at the end of their session! Plus, Topher brought along his trumpet for a few photos and I was treated to a performance. It made me feel like I was at home in NOLA!
Yesterday Joan described Jane as a total snuggle bug. I can definitely see it! I’ve been photographing these two since Joan was still in the womb 11 years ago! Gosh that is just crazy to me, time has flown by! It means the world to me that I get to capture them each year.
I photographed Dixon & Juno in 2017 and shared that they both passed away within months of their session. I was so sad for Christine and Chris. I’m so glad we did that session when we did! Months later I was so happy to see that Christine and Chris adopted two new boxer puppies, Skylar & Xander. While I wasn’t in Austin to capture them in their tiny cuteness, I was so excited to catch up with them on Saturday! This was so much fun – their home is filled with so much energy! Also, wrinkly dog foreheads are my new fave!
