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!
1. Yesterday was a wonderful day for me personally and professionally. Hearing so many comments, getting wonderful emails, but most of all, reading Michele’s wonderful words that brought me to tears. Very cool. Can I just tell y’all one more time how very much I love what I do?
2. We’re a bunch of sickies. Everyone but Ty. Well, and Taryn is at about 80%….just in time for both Jase and I to be sick and Teagan to be teething and sick. Sigh. I will be honest though. I prayed and prayed and prayed my husband wouldn’t get sick. I begged God that if someone had to get sick, please, please, please let it be me and not him. Yeah, […]
I’m not sure if I will be able to articulate my feelings in to this post, but I will try. Photographing births is such an amazing experience, I get to document a life changing right before my eyes, a first breath, the first moments of a new family, with pain, joy, and so many other emotions mixed inbetween. Every single time I photograph one, it brings me to a place in my heart that realizes what this world, what life, is about. It also brings me to a place that makes me realize that what I do, makes sense. Of all the things people capture with photography, all the milestones, the ‘i do’s”, the beloved snapshots, the gathering of family, […]
My last official session of 2008 is finished and what a way to top off the year. A huge thank you to this little guys family for being so, so patient in waiting for me to work through my computer / hard drive issues to be able to properly proof their sneak peek! Just 5 days new here and so dreamy….
Congrats again on your new addition V family!
In the coming days I plan to go back and showcase some of the wonderful familes and children I’ve photographed during this busy season. I get so busy I sometimes forget to come back and share more of my faves.
A big thank you to Lucy’s parents for allowing me to share their birth experience, birth is an intimate experience and it takes a lot to put yourself out there. Big kudos to you guys! I love these images. I’m thankful they love them too and that they are allowing me to share them. I hope these images capture their day, Lucy’s day. I hope they capture how beautiful, and faith filled this family is.
I have to tell you that for the first time since I picked up a dslr camera, I wished it had a video feature (hmmmm, maybe I do need that new 5D). At the end of the slideshow, you’ll see a little […]
I will be unreachable here shortly. I will be photographing a birth either tonight or tomorrow meaning I will be away from my computer / email and cell phone. If you need to reach me, please call and leave a message or drop me an email and I’ll catch up with you as soon as I can. I just know that there are a few outstanding orders and I didn’t want you to think I disappeared or anything 🙂 I am so super excited to photograph another birth, each one is so different, so amazing, so real.
In the meantime….here is another shot from my session with my 3 the other day. The oldest and the middle….8 years apart but so […]
