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.

This morning, as I was dozing in and out, trying to convince myself to put at least one foot out of the bed, Jason was up with the kids cooking breakfast. As I dozed out again I felt a little tap on my forehead, just between my eyes. And before I even opened them, I thought it would be Taryn standing there, because that is her old trick. But it was Teagan. I opened them, smiled in surprise that it was him, and groggily closed them again. He said “Momma, Momma, I ready”. “You’re ready bud?”, I asked, assuming he meant ready to play, ready to start his day, ready to go. But my little man said “Ready to ‘nuggle….” […]

I was so excited when one of my favorite families booked a spring session. I first saw them last year when their littlest guy was brand new. That session resulted in one of my favorite mommy/baby photos of all time. Today, again, we battled the wind but we got some great shots. Just two faves for now….can you believe how big the boys have gotten?!

That little newborn grew into a little boy, he just celebrated his first birthday. I love love love how he growls when he smiles and gets excited, cracked me up, so funny! Little boys rock. Happy Birthday little man….

I still can’t believe it. With three children of my own and having photographed countless numbers of babies…I still can’t believe it. Yes, I have had a few babies throw smiles my way through the years, and they are super cute, but for the most part, they are a result of gas or a little nudge of the cheek. But not this morning. This little guy, was so chill, and I started to make sweet talk with him while shooting and each time I did, he’d look right at me and smile. At first I thought it was a fluke, but he did it over and over again!! Talking to him in a calm voice was so calming for him […]
