Almost exactly two years ago, I got a new camera and Ty and I went out exploring, giving the 5D a good breakin.  Not planned, but we did the same thing yesterday.  Can you believe how much he’s grown and changed???

Ty’s not the only thing that has changed….Several weeks ago I bought a new camera, I don’t think I’ve told y’all that.  It’s already gotten a pretty good workout (this session and Teagan’s birthday I haven’t proofed yet).  I’m totally in love with it.  Worth every single penny and I’m super excited about the changes the new video technology will bring to my business.  It will take some […]

So I’ve been really bad about not sharing more than sneak peeks from sessions since (cough couch) October.  I’ve said so many times I will come back and feature those sessions and just haven’t found the time yet.  And then I put off featuring the ones I’ve had recently cause I haven’t done the other ones….enter vicious cycle.  I’ve decided to add it to my workflow, as I place orders with the lab and package everything up to go out to my clients, I vow to come back and share more favorites from the sessions.  There are so many images I love that I don’t share and there just isn’t enough room on my website for them all….starting today….put your […]

a few more from my session with teri and her family…..could she be any cuter???


when i told her how much i love her curly hair i was informed she doesn’t really have curly hair, she slept in pink foam rollers and oh man did that bring back some memories of being a little girl.  those things were so uncomfortable and trying to find just the right position to lay your head so you could fall asleep was next to impossible.  but it didn’t matter though, when you have straight, thin hair, there is nothing more exciting than to see your hair all bouncy the next morning.  who needs sleep when […]

Check it out!  Little T and Kylie ((our dog)) are in the greeting card aisle!!!

I was commissioned by a card company last year and I am so excited to partner with them in the future as well.  They purchased two images for their most recent release and I just got the box of samples in the mail yesterday!!!!  So, if you are in the US, Canada, Australia or Ireland and you see my cuties in the greeting card aisle….give a wink and a smile for me!!

While I am out of the park thrilled about this, Little T is not.  When I showed her the cards it just brought back traumatic […]

One of the things I love the most about living in Austin is all the great friendships I’ve made with other photographers in the area.  There is so much talent here, and I’m lucky that there is a small group of us that get along great.  We can bounce everything from what vendor to use to what what jogging stroller to buy off of one another. We also all understand what it is like to always be behind the lens.

Teri did a great job taking family photos of us last summer and I was really excited to turn the camera on them early this morning.  Teri requested we use the same location where Michele took our pics in September […]

a quick scheduling note…

I am officially booked for 2008.  I have left a little space open for newborns and births only, but if you are interested, please contact me asap.

I am presently booking for 2009.  I have only two spots open in January and three in February.  I have not yet opened up March, only because I’m still contemplating how to approach the inevitable craziness that is Texas blubonnet season LOL!

If you’d like to book a session, please contact me at lstradtner@mac.com

Thanks!
