Huge life update ahead.

10 years ago I had a list of photographers sitting on my desk. I regularly referred to it because after I shot my first birth I started getting requests to travel. I had 3 children at that time, Jude was just a baby so traveling with the unpredictability of birth was not an option.   I used that list to refer clients. Can you imagine writing out every birth photographer you know and having it be less than 10?! As I photographed more births, I received requests from photographers drawn to birth for me to mentor them. Later that year I started a mentoring program called The Birth Experience. It was a […]

I simply can’t believe Miss Ava is one already….where has the time gone?  If you look up at the scrolling header on my blog you’ll see her all squished up as a newborn.  ((Note to self:  update blog header, it’s been awhile!)).  Anyway, she’s no longer a squishy little newborn, she’s a bright, happy, beautiful, walking!!!, one year old.

Her newborn session was such a breeze, I thought for sure she’d give me a run for my money today.  But nope, total rock star!  As soon as they plopped her down she spotted my camera and threw me a bunch of big old smiles.  I wanted to bring her home with me!!

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.  Nonetheless, here it is.  I am so excited to finally have an entire website dedicated to birth photography.  And, if you take a close look, you’ll see that starting this summer, I will be doing a limited amount of mentoring for professional photographers interested in birth photography.  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 […]

Have I told y’all lately that I am l living my dream?  I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to do what I love.  It never fails, I get the phone call that it is time to go and I just feel so excited…..then driving to the birth I get overcome with hope and know that the next few hours will be amazing.  It’s so cool to get to experience these moments with families, to be that little fly on the wall, to get to see all the little details of the day unfold.  Each one is different, unique and special in their own way.  And even though I’m usually pretty tired on the way home, I’m still on […]
