backtracking just a bit, the twins | austin family photographer

I have quite a few sessions that are all finished up and just sitting my que to come blog. In fact, these have already been delivered but I wanted to backtrack just a bit and come share how big these twin boys are. Not to mention CUTE!! I just love Watch Me Grow baby planners….here are their birth (here too) and newborn sneak peeks.

I had a few people ask if they are identical or not and their mom says no, they are fraternal. While they look a lot alike, I can really tell them apart now at 3 months old (I couldn’t at all at their newborn session!). […]

one setup, three shots | austin newborn photographer

It’s been awhile since I posted something like this and I thought it was about time. Not sure how helpful it will be, but I took a few setup shots when I was over at MC’s photographing baby Tommy recently. MC had several requests for his newborn photos, one being that she wanted some of them earthy, natural and that they have a lot of texture. Finding green in the massive heatwave that is Texas right now is tough, but we did it, and with high sun! These were shot maybe around 2 pm in the afternoon, but on a large covered porch. The light was good and bright so I was able to put his back to the light […]

1. I celebrated my 34th birthday yesterday. It was a nice day, relaxed with my family, got a ton of wonderful birthday wishes, phone calls from loved ones, fun birthday mail and a nice dinner out with my favorite people in the world. Oh, and even a few new toys for my camera! All in all, a good day.

2. When i asked Taryn how old she thought I was, I about fell over when she said “FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN”. Wow, I knew it was a loaded question but sheesh!

3. My mom’s birthday is tomorrow, Happy Birthday Eve Mom!!!

4. I think the most awesome of all the gifts I received was from Taryn. She drew me a great big picture […]

its not what you think | austin birth photographer

You may THINK the following post and images are about 4th of July.

and fireworks and family and kiddos draped in a flag.

((I’m still amazed Taryn held a sparkler….she’s deathly afraid of fireworks. It lasted all of 2.2 milliseconds when she threw it across the yard and ran the opposite direction…can’t believe I caught that shot through the window!))

You may THINK that this post is about grown men who love to blow stuff up.

Or you might THINK that this post is about little boys trying […]

the birth of audrey | austin birth photographer lyndsay stradtner

I know I’ve said it all before, each birth is so amazing, each one is so different. And it is true. I am so thankful to have been invited to share in this birth experience. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but most of my birth clients are either 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ time moms. I think it’s because first time moms have a fear of the unknown, not knowing what to expect, how they will react, would make anyone anxious about having it photographically documented. But what 2nd+ time moms know, and this is the reason they make up a large amount of my clientele, is that you will forget. You think you won’t, but you will. The memories […]
