About Lyndsay Stradtner

Lyndsay Stradtner and I am a natural light photographer with 14 years experience. While home is Austin, Texas, my family and I are currently traveling the US in an RV full time. Yes, we sold our 2,400 square foot home for a 400 square foot RV and couldn’t be happier about it! While our initial goal was to travel full time for one year, that quickly turned in to (at least) 3 years. I am married to a really great guy named Jason. With 5 kids (Ty, Taryn, Jude, Jonah and Zachary) and 2 dogs (Maggie and Pepper), our lives are filled with laughter and chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Be sure to check us out on Etsy, Instagram and YouTube.

The Revell Family

These people have my heart. I first met them 14 years ago when my sweet client, Julie Applewhite, wife of assistant UT football coach Major Applewhite, asked me if I would be interested in doing some charity work for a family Mack and Sally Brown were raising money for. I had no idea the first time I met these 4 that I would still be photographing them all this time later. We have shared so many laughs and prayers, what a huge blessing they are! These now young adults have big beautiful hearts and a faith in God we should all strive for. This first image might be my most favorite image of them ever….the power of prayer!

Tara & Family

My sweet friend Tara has been a photographer in Austin for many years with Life is Sweet Photo Boutique. She retired a few years ago and I will admit, I was a little sad because I absolutely love the way she captures my family! She’s taken our family photos before and was present for Zachary’s birth and newborn session. I treasure every photo she’s ever taken of us. This year I took a chance and reached out asking if she wanted to swap sessions and I was shocked and so thrilled when she said yes! Her family went first and I was so happy it worked out that her mom (who is just gorgeous!) and nephew could jump in as […]

I have been so honored to photograph this beautiful family since before their oldest was born! Fun fact, I also photographed them at their Michigan lake house during my travels! And can I just say that Molly completely rocked their outfits?! She perfectly integrated patterns / layers and they just looked incredible! I told her they will likely land on the “What to wear” page!

I first met Amy…

I first met Amy and her husband almost 15 years ago. Michele and I did a charity shoot to benefit Haiti and Amy won! It is actually the only time Michele and I ever shot together side by side, even though we photographed each others families quite a few times. We had such a fun time jumping around downtown Austin with them doing a Love Light Night Session! I saw the whole family 2 years ago for a mini session and now they have 2 incredible teenagers, time goes by so quickly! These two parents are crushing it, I was SO impressed by their kids!!

You’d think after almost 6 years of full time travel that our bucket list would be getting smaller. Nope, the opposite is true, it just keeps growing! I love that! A big thing on my bucket list still to this day is photographing a huge sunflower field. I always seem to miss them by a week or two when we happenstance across one. This big one across from our site will have to do for this year.

Hurricane Lee

We are in coastal Maine and expected more of an impact from Hurricane Lee. Thankfully, it barely rained and turned out to be a beautiful day. The wind was just enough to speed fall along a bit and our site was sprinkled in the most beautiful red leaves.
