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.

My mom surprised us with a gorgeous set of blankets she made for Teagan.  As soon as I saw them, they immediately reminded me of these inspiring shots by the amazing Amy Coffey.  If you guys haven’t seen her work, you gotta check her out! So once Teagan landed into his afternoon milk coma, my mom and I got to work taking a few shots…the first one is my fave.  We spotted him on ultrasound hanging out in the womb with his hands like this on his head…

No photo post today.  No time or energy to pick up the camera.  Last night at around 11 pm I was feeding Teagan.  When he was done nursing, I sat him up to burp him and he started to choke.  He recovered quickly, but afterwards his breathing was irregular.  He couldn’t catch his breath, he was struggling and it scared us to death.  He’s fine, and thankfully we received instructions from the NICU nurses on what to do if this sort of thing happens at home.  But, I did what any mother would do, I stayed up all night staring at him to make sure he was breathing.  He had a doctor’s appointment first thing this morning, and he’s doing […]

Taryn is a little less than thrilled about her new baby brother.  She’s adjusting.  Slowly.  She takes baby steps every day.  I think more than anything it scares her when he cries.  Two things she will do, give him a quick kiss on the head every now and then and tickle his feet.  Overall though, she’s not that impressed just yet. So tonight when I asked her if she wanted to hold him and she said yes, I was a little surprised.  Everyone in the house came running and gathered around to see and praise her.  She did really well, and I think these images capture her true feelings….. This is how we wish she would feel about her new […]
