Joan turns 2!

Still catching up from the fall. Oh sweet Joan, how I love following you around several times a year. I still marvel that your birth wasn’t just the other day. I’m dying to share the birthday party her parents hired me to capture, but I don’t have model releases on everyone. It was so much fun and so cute, Jennifer is such a great party planner. Even my crazy kiddos got in on the fun. We had a blast. I’m so thrilled to get to follow Jane and Joan around for another year in 2012.

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 😉

the birth of harrison | austin birth photographer

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 […]

52 Choices & A Giveaway

Most of you know that when Teagan’s vaccine injury hit, our family was forced into many, many changes, pretty much over night. It was really overwhelming. I think back to that time and the memories make me feel like I can’t breathe. So, so hard. Because not only were we dealing with the scary vaccine reaction, trying to comfort his horrible amount of pain and screaming day after day after day, for months, we were suddenly faced with massive food changes, getting the toxins and junk out of our house, reducing the load on his liver any way that we could. His liver was so taxed by the vaccines that at […]

love light

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 […]

Introducing Alexandra

A storm came through last week. A big one. The kind of Texas storm that makes me long for the simple rain and drizzle I grew up with in the pacific northwest. When it rains here, why does it have to be so….violent?! Why can’t it just rain?! I got the call around 2 am that this momma was in labor. Her plan was to labor at home for a bit and she’d call me with an update. Just a little while later, I got another more urgent call, I could hear it in her voice, it was time to move. I jumped out of bed and as I threw on […]
