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.

A new Project 365?

It’s been 6 months of bilateral adhesive capsulitis and I’m still in pain every day. I haven’t slept laying down or even in bed in 5 months. My mental health has suffered, the depression is back (but my cPTSD recovery has held strong praise God!). Being stuck inside and mostly immobile has taken a toll. My stamina is gone. I miss our life of adventure and hiking and exploring so very much. I miss capturing our lives with my camera. It’s something I’ve done for 18 years. Two weeks ago I tried to pick it up to take pictures of Z for kindergarten graduation. I needed help. It resulted in A LOT […]

the real gift

Taryn got her first phone on her 18th birthday. The real gift, 18 years and a childhood without one.

It was so fun watching her enjoy it, text her best friend, meme wars, family group texts and taking photos of the sunset.

FWIW, we don’t technically have a wait until 18 rule in our home. They get one when they need one and each child is different. I’m just so thankful we’ve built a life that gives us the option to wait.

Taryn is 18

Our beautiful daughter turned 18 yesterday. It really is so shocking how quickly time passes. I’m so proud her. She’s unapologetically herself, she’s smart, strong feisty and creative. My husband once described her as a mall pretzel, salty and crusty on the outside and soft on the inside and that’s so very true 😂 I love her soft, sensitive heart so much. I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve argued. Taryn is our resident little old lady. She loves her tea, crochet, reading, dog snuggles, quiet mornings with her bible, avoids noisy little boys and grumbles about all the things little old ladies do. 😂 I am truly […]
