Alternate title: Holy moly did that go by fast!

One. I can’t believe it has been almost a year. I think I’m in denial *almost* as much as his momma. He’s had an awesome first year and it has been a joy to watch and capture as Lily became a great big sister and two of our dearest friends embraced parenting one of the sweetest little boys ever. He’s going to be off and running and keeping up with the big kids any day now. So hard to believe since it feels like this was just the other day. Alli and I snuck out of the house bright and early this morning (much to both Taryn & Lily’s dismay – […]

I love….that our lives are so intertwined that when I go to look for a photo of one of them, I always have to stop and think about whether it’s mixed in with my family photos or in their “client” folder…..

I love….that my children and theirs are at their happiest when they are together, no matter what they are doing…..

I love…..the little girl giggles and the dress up and the play dates and the long girly telephone calls and the constant scheming to be together.

I love…..that they will grow up and never remember […]

a photography tip, flat taryn | austin child photographer

My kids have PCS (photographer child syndrome). Bad. It’s much harder to get shots of them because they know my tricks. They know the game and many days, they just don’t want to play. I have to be on my toes a lot, and I know many photographers and moms know the feeling. But guess what? PCS, it’s not just for photographers kids, its for their friends too. Tis true. Exhibit A: Lily, Taryn’s BFF. I first photographed her at 18 months old and since then, well, she’s kind of gotten over me and my camera shanigans. My old die hard tricks don’t even crack the surface. And with their family session coming up soon, I wracked my brain thinking […]

Teagan’s best bud Jack is about to be on the move and ready to hang with the big kids (Taryn, Lily & Teagan)….it won’t be long now! The chub, the blue eyes, the faux hawk. Man I love that kid, he’s just so dreamy. And doesn’t it seem like yesterday Teagan was all curled up on the heart rug, fresh out of the hospital?!

Also, I have a few spots open in time for Valentines Day, if you’re interested, drop me an email at lstradtner@mac.com!

Jack showed up for his Valentines Day pics this morning ready to par-tay. Little flirt, he knows I can’t resist sweet little boys and faux hawks.

Quick note: Thank you for all the inquiries in the Birth Experience program! I am overwhelmed and so excited about the response!! I’m sorting through all the charter member inquiries (hello talented photogs!!!) and a 3rd and final charter member will be selected either tonight or in the morning. Thanks!

Just a few of Jack from a little 5 minute impromptu photo shoot the other day. I stopped by Alli’s to pick up Taryn from a playdate with Lily and Mr. Chubbers was getting his diaper changed. I can’t resist his chub….so I ran out to my car and grabbed my camera.

I’ve craved and yearned for a shot like that of one of my 3 and never got it. And uhm, would you look at those thighs?! Yummy!

the chub and the drool….oh be still […]
