Here is what they had to say. I personally love it, but I think I’m impartial 🙂 I think it’s funny they spelled my name right once and wrong once. Eh, with a name like Lyndsay Pfenning Stradtner, it’s pretty much a given, I’m used to it. Even my own mother gets it wrong on occasion and she named me LOL!

I always wonder what he dreams about. Milk? Playing with this brother and sister? Chasing Kylie the dog? I love it when he smiles and laughs in his sleep. I was watching him do it the other day and it occurred to me that I don’t have very many sleeping photos of him now that he’s a bit older. I have lots when he was tiny, cause it wouldn’t wake him up. And, well, when you’re the mother of 3 (or 1 for that matter!), sleeping children are precious for your sanity…you don’t disturb it! But yesterday I decided to risk it….I nursed him to sleep in our master bedroom, knowing full well I’d have to wake him up and […]

MC and I had a maternity session tonight that was a blast, these two were a riot and had us laughing the whole time! I thought I’d post an outtake first, because, well, I’m pretty sure after just thumbing through their images, this is my favorite!

hahaha! I told y’all they were fun! MC and I are even considering holding their images hostage unless they agree to be friends with us in real life LOL!

I think we’ll call this one “glowing”…cause […]

Can you believe it?!?! I’m still a little shocked by this, but also very, very excited! The Austin Chronicle named me as the Best Kids Photographer for 2008!!!! I received this invitation last week to attend an exclusive party for the Best of Austin by the Austin Chronicle at the Long Center for Performing Arts in downtown Austin. Jase and I went tonight and it was so much fun. Amazing people who are awesome at what they do at every table, good food, great music and just a total honor to be there with the very best that Austin has to offer. I was […]

I’ve been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I needed a good morning without too much chaos, but most of all, I needed the perfect light. Every morning I wake up and look out the window with disappointment, I knew what I was waiting for. Until this morning….

There is a small patch of beautiful purple wildflowers at the front of our subdivision and each day I drive by them with this photo in my mind. She gave me a good 15 minutes….a hundred images….I love them, every last one.

10 on Tuesday tomorrow – tune in!
