I met MC not long after moving to Austin. We quickly became friends and I began to mentor her and help her with her photography journey. And by mentor, I mean hang out and goof off with our cameras. But there hasn’t been very much mentoring going on. Life is busy, especially at their house. Not long after this session, MC and Jon announced they were expecting baby #2, thrilling news! Just a few short weeks later Jon was diagnosed with cancer. They are a strong and faithful family and after a few days of shock and tears, came out swingin ready to fight. They rolled with what the coming days would bring them, dealing with chemo, a surgery […]

If you know this family, and many of you do, then you know that they are strong and kind. They fought hard and had faith, so that they could be together on this day. They are a family who deserves, right now, more than ever, to be blessed. And today, they were.

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’ll be out of pocket today photographing a birth. Clients if you need to reach me please either drop me an email or leave me a voicemail and I’ll get back to you just as soon as I can.

If anyone was keeping track in the comments below, MC graciously accepted Alli’s offer of victory and then proceeded to go into hard labor. Love it! And I’m so thankful I get to be here with them today…..

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 […]
