Still catching up from the fall, if it isn’t obvious from the pretty leaves on the ground.  LOVED photographing this happy little guy.  He was so good to me.  I absolutely love this age and all the different expressions he threw my way.  But when he was done, we knew it was the end 😉

I realized the other day that this sweet family gave me permission to share their birth and I hadn’t hit post!  There are so many things I loved about this birth.  First, being asked to capture another birth for them, returning clients make my heart swoon.  I LOVE that this family is so big and fun and loud and full of love.  They invited me to the “before” birthday party and you’ll see a few photos in the very beginning and then I followed them to the hospital.  I’ve had people question whether they want to have a c-section photographed or not and my answer is always YES!  All birth experiences and babies are worth documenting!  I love that […]

Here come the sneak peeks for all 4 love light night mini sessions in downtown Austin last night!  It was a total blast!!  I had 3 returning clients and one new client.  Two couples used it as a maternity session and I have to say, that idea gave me the chills – how awesome to have a night out on the town before a new baby arrives?!  Love it!  Everyone looked gorgeous thanks to Katie at Modern Muse Makeup Artistry.  She’s seriously so good at what she does!

My next round of love light mini sessions is all set for May 5th.  If you’d like to book a spot just email me at lstradtner@mac.com.  I currently have 2 spots left […]

How’s that for an eye catching blog title?

With homeschooling we were able to rearrange Taryn’s therapies to times that are easier, less traffic, better for her stamina and mood.  She goes to OT once per week and we started her in Equine therapy about 3 weeks ago.  She absolutely LOVES it.  She’s such a natural, each person who has worked with her so far has asked how long she’s been riding and are genuinely shocked to hear she’s so new at it.  She looks so poised and graceful.  And comfortable!  She directs the horse and just has the amazing connection to horses, it’s beautiful to watch.  And it is so good for her.  We are already seeing big gains in […]

One large session share filled with happy energy and love, coming right up.

It’s January and that means catching up here on the blog.  I love going back to sort through the images captured during the fall.  This session was hands down one of my favorites because we had so much fun.  I think this family is the perfect example of what happens when you relax and show up ready to have some fun during our time together.  I always suggest it to clients and I KNOW it is SO hard to actually do.  Everyone puts so much work in to the session, you’re spending money on it, you want the kids happy and rested and it’s a bit nerve wracking.  But if you really, REALLY, just let go, relax, have fun and […]

I photographed this beautiful family my first year in business here in Austin and it was so fun to catch up with them again tonight.  Their momma happens to be one super talented lady and music professor.  Teagan and I did a music together class at her studio Velocity Music Academy last year and I really need to get us back in there again, we miss it!  It was great to catch up with them tonight and see how much the kids have grown.  Time flies!
