1. I really need to take some pictures of my kids. They’ve had a pretty nice long break. It’s time. Will do this week.

2. Saturday we all went and got our hair chopped at Birds. And by “all” I mean all the people in the house that have hair, me, teagan & taryn. taryn and teagan got their signature do’s, a bob and a faux hawk respectively. And I got my hair chopped. I thought it was around 4 inches but MC took one look at me the other night and said way more…..maybe 6 or so? Ty took a quick snap for me…it’s not in focus…but it’s me. And a photo of me is pretty rare around here. […]

backtracking just a bit, the twins | austin family photographer

I have quite a few sessions that are all finished up and just sitting my que to come blog. In fact, these have already been delivered but I wanted to backtrack just a bit and come share how big these twin boys are. Not to mention CUTE!! I just love Watch Me Grow baby planners….here are their birth (here too) and newborn sneak peeks.

I had a few people ask if they are identical or not and their mom says no, they are fraternal. While they look a lot alike, I can really tell them apart now at 3 months old (I couldn’t at all at their newborn session!). […]

one setup, three shots | austin newborn photographer

It’s been awhile since I posted something like this and I thought it was about time. Not sure how helpful it will be, but I took a few setup shots when I was over at MC’s photographing baby Tommy recently. MC had several requests for his newborn photos, one being that she wanted some of them earthy, natural and that they have a lot of texture. Finding green in the massive heatwave that is Texas right now is tough, but we did it, and with high sun! These were shot maybe around 2 pm in the afternoon, but on a large covered porch. The light was good and bright so I was able to put his back to the light […]

the birth of audrey | austin birth photographer lyndsay stradtner

I know I’ve said it all before, each birth is so amazing, each one is so different. And it is true. I am so thankful to have been invited to share in this birth experience. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but most of my birth clients are either 2nd, 3rd or 4th+ time moms. I think it’s because first time moms have a fear of the unknown, not knowing what to expect, how they will react, would make anyone anxious about having it photographically documented. But what 2nd+ time moms know, and this is the reason they make up a large amount of my clientele, is that you will forget. You think you won’t, but you will. The memories […]

After my first session early this morning I stopped by MC’s to take some official newborn photos of their new little guy and beautiful family. At only 4 days old, he was a dream, soooooo sleepy and let me do whatever I wanted. He put his feet like this all on his own, isn’t he fabulous?!?!

I know his momma will be taking tons of beautiful photos of him in the days to come, but I was so happy to capture some of them together (don’t worry, we have some of Jack too!). Check out those wrinkles, I’m a sucker for wrinkled little babies….
