About Lyndsay Stradtner

Lyndsay Stradtner and I am a natural light photographer with 14 years experience. While home is Austin, Texas, my family and I are currently traveling the US in an RV full time. Yes, we sold our 2,400 square foot home for a 400 square foot RV and couldn’t be happier about it! While our initial goal was to travel full time for one year, that quickly turned in to (at least) 3 years. I am married to a really great guy named Jason. With 5 kids (Ty, Taryn, Jude, Jonah and Zachary) and 2 dogs (Maggie and Pepper), our lives are filled with laughter and chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Be sure to check us out on Etsy, Instagram and YouTube.

Antique Bible Family Heirloom

Jason’s Mom has this incredible Bible that she inherited and it’s been in their home on display for many years. Jude spotted it when we were there and started researching the history of this particular Bible. He managed to trace it all the way back to 1856 when it was printed, fascinating! Jude asked his grandmother if she’d be willing to pass it on to him for his future Pastoral library and she agreed. I can’t wait to see it in his office someday. I think we often take our bibles for granted, how accessible and portable they are to us. I’m so thankful to live during a time I can read mine whenever I want!

Taco Party!

I cannot believe it’s taken us over 2 decades of parenting and parties to have a taco party! WE LOVE TACOS! Jude is 17 and Zachary is 8 – their birthdays are two days a part and the day in between was Tuesday this year – the perfect party day – Taco Tuesday!!

So very Austin

When one of my favorite families asks for a session filled with Austin gems, I jump in! They’ve wanted to do this for quite awhile and I’m so happy we made it happen!! We jumped from spot to spot and had a blast!

Absolutely my new favorite mom of teens photo!

This first photo! Hands down my most all time favorite mom of teens photo! I so very much want one like this with my teens. If you have teenagers at home, you understand. Their oldest, Josie, is a senior and will be leaving the nest soon. Unbelievable since I really feel like she was just a toddler welcoming new brothers to the mix. Also, since we are walking down memory lane…I still see this so clearly in Jennifer and her mothering. What an honor to witness and capture.

a beautiful reminder

I have been walking down memory lane with all this blogging and man, their story and sessions (too many to link but definitely click here, here, here and here) make me weepy every time. There was a time I said I could see their future photographs and here they are. Always a beautiful reminder that there are miracles walking among us every day! I adore y’all W family!

I felt like I knew the whole crew

This fall I had a few reschedules mostly because teens are busy with their own lives and clients need to move things last minute. No biggie! I was so excited when a last minute change made room for this session! They first hired me to photograph the birth of their oldest. I have followed their adventures in parenting, travels (they take their kids on some awesome adventures), and photography, these parents can hold their own with the camera, I am always impressed! I felt like I knew the whole crew when we met again! H family thanks for grabbing this last minute spot, I had a blast seeing y’all again!
