CURRENTLY WANDERING
Hi! We are the Stradtner 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, Washington before we did the “wiggle down the middle” through the midwest. We hope to have visited all of the lower 48 by the end of 2022. We hope to spend most of 2023 traveling to volunteer at various farms and ranches.

ETSY
I am super excited to announce that I’ve opened an ETSY shop!
This has quite literally been years in the making. After 3 years of full time travel, many miles, 39 states and thousands (and thousands) of photos, I’ve curated a collection I’m really proud to share. I'll be adding hundreds of photos to the shop in the coming months, so check back often. All prints are available via instant digital download. You'll find photos of the biggest and boldest national parks along with quiet moments and stunning light in various areas of the United States.
I’d love it if you’d visit my shop and share it with your friends and family.
"Lyndsay Stradtner beautifully and honestly documents her family as she also builds an impressive portfolio as a child photographer. Stradtner has a knack for making photo sessions fun for little ones - and for amazing their parents when they see the results."
