A storm came through last week. A big one. The kind of Texas storm that makes me long for the simple rain and drizzle I grew up with in the pacific northwest. When it rains here, why does it have to be so….violent?! Why can’t it just rain?! I got the call around 2 am that this momma was in labor. Her plan was to labor at home for a bit and she’d call me with an update. Just a little while later, I got another more urgent call, I could hear it in her voice, it was time to move. I jumped out of bed and as I threw on […]

Everything went just right. Every detail fell into place. From his timely arrival so that his daddy could be there, to MC keeping her blood pressure in check for weeks against the odds, to deciding when it was time to head in to labor and delivery, and me rushing to pick up Jon and speeding both of us to the […]

I am so proud to finally announce my new birth photography website! I’ve had it ready for awhile, so I’m not really sure why I’ve been sitting on it. Nervous about it I suppose.

More info coming on that soon, but if you think you might want to be put on the waiting list, drop me an email at lstradtner@mac.com. ETA: mentoring is […]

I decided to throw together a little page about birth photography since it currently isn’t included on my website. If you are in Austin or the surrounding areas and would like to book Life in Motion Photography to capture your birth experience, please drop me a line at lstradtner@mac.com. I only book one per month to be sure they don’t overlap, so plan ahead and contact me early!
