the birth of tommy | austin birth photographer lyndsay stradtner

I met MC not long after moving to Austin. We quickly became friends and I began to mentor her and help her with her photography journey. And by mentor, I mean hang out and goof off with our cameras. But there hasn’t been very much mentoring going on. Life is busy, especially at their house. Not long after this session, MC and Jon announced they were expecting baby #2, thrilling news! Just a few short weeks later Jon was diagnosed with cancer. They are a strong and faithful family and after a few days of shock and tears, came out swingin ready to fight. They rolled with what the coming days would bring them, dealing with chemo, a surgery […]

As I finish up their order I wanted to come back and share a few more of Miss Inara’s first birthday session. You can see her sneak peek here. I’m going to start off this post with my favorite of the day….

She’s grown so much since I saw her last. I just can’t get over how much babies change that first year, it’s crazy! Some of my most favorite shots ever are the ones from her 6 month session loving on her momma. That is one thing that has not changed.

where they live and love | austin family and lifestyle photographer lyndsay stradtner

I absolutely love in-home, true lifestyle sessions. And this is one of my all time favorites. In fact, when I went in to pull images to blog from their session it was 27, yikes! Awesome family, filled with love and laughter, gracious enough to share a glimpse into their world with little old me….

I photographed the birth of this beautiful little one just a few months ago….

Little miss was sleeping when I got there and I was so happy to catch these moments of her momma gathering her up […]

ty’s published in the bump magazine | austin photographer lyndsay stradtner

When it landed on our doorstep this afternoon, Ty’s chest swelled up with pride. I’m proud of him. And LOOK! That is me with my babies!

Can I just say……whoooooo-weeee that’s a big ole belly!

Ty took the winning photo of Taryn and I when I was pregnant with Teagan. I’ll never forget this photo, mostly because I was cracking up. Teagan was breach and waited until almost the very end to turn. Every day, several times a day, Taryn would yell into my belly button, “HEAD DOWN BOY, HEAD DOWN”….and that’s what she was doing right before Ty snapped this shot. Part of our winnings were to have a photo shoot with […]

Ahhh, how cute is she?!? And I love her outfit 😉 She was probably my most awake newborn to date, but just look how gorgeous she is, I didn’t mind a bit!
