I last saw them at Christmas and they are all just as adorable as ever (and all 3 look way taller too!).  They are seriously the most polite, well mannered and loving kids.  Did I mention beautiful too?

So happy to have caught that one.  As a momma of 3, I know how hard it is to catch all 3 in one photo annnnnd looking happy!  Score!!

I had a reeeealllly hard time picking photos for your sneak peek.  I know she looks all hip and girlie here, but the reality is she took a quick pause from digging in the pile of dirt in front of her to look up at […]

I have a weekend of 3’s.  Today, a cute family consisting of 2 boys and one girl.  I absolutely love this first shot, he is so striking…

sass.  that word alone sums her up here recently.  the other day in Target she was demanding this and that and I kept reminding her to talk politely, say please, etc.  finally, she looks at me, exasperated, and says “Mommy, I’m all out of pleases today!”.  I told her then I was all out of “yes’s”.  she proceeded to scowl at me for a bit, but got over it.  she’s always thinking, the wheels are always turning and some days i feel like i just can’t keep up with her and her constant antics.  when people ask me about the differences between parenting the boys vs. my girl, i always easily reply “my girl is twice as much work as […]

i caved | austin toddler photographer

i mentioned in 10 on tuesday this morning that we are trying to transition teagan to one nap a day.  it went well over the long weekend.  but.  there were a lot of people home = more distractions.  there were parties and a loud brother and even louder sister to help him forget it was time to nap.  this morning, well, it’s just me and him with the big kids in school and daddy back at work.  it started pretty innocent.  he grabs his favorite binky, and then his blankie and spreads it out on the floor…

but as soon as he did that, i knew what was coming next.  it is […]

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 […]

beautiful inside and out | austin maternity photographer

Many of you know MC.  Or if you don’t know her personally, you’ve heard me talk about her.  She is a local that I mentor.  But more importantly, she’s now my friend.  She is strong, and gracious, and kind.  She has a positive attitude about her life and her loves.  She is an awesome mom and a strong, faithful wife.  She embraces life and the beautiful things around her and I admire her so much for the woman she is.  I am so proud of where she is taking her photography, a place with intention and an open heart.  I told Jason I was nervous about our session tonight and he said “why?!  you go out shooting with MC all […]
