Tonight, for the last time, I put my baby to sleep in his crib. I know it seems silly, but this makes me so sad. It’s the end of an era for our family. No more cribs, our baby is getting bigger, and today he reached out and fell over the edge, hitting the floor hard. Thankfully, he is fine. I wasn’t in the room when it happened, but only steps away and ran to him when I heard the thud. We both cried. It scared all of us, and we had to make some quick decisions tonight that involve removing the crib and replacing it with a toddler bed. My heart isn’t ready for the crib to be gone […]

10 on Tuesday | Austin Photographer Lyndsay Stradtner

1. A few weeks before my Mom’s last visit, Taryn freaked out one night and insisted we take all the photos of her in her room down. She said “all the Taryn’s were staring” at her while she was trying to sleep. Part of me laughed, the other part just knows that this will come up in therapy some day filed under “it’s all my mothers fault”. So after we talked to her a bit, we decided to take all the photos in her room down. The day before my moms visit, she came and asked if Gee was going to be staying in her room. When I said yes, she asked if I would put her pictures back […]

snapshots of the morning variety | austin family photography

This morning after breakfast, Jase left to go bring Taryn to school, Ty started in on the breakfast dishes and Teagan was roaming around the house playing. As usual my camera was on the kitchen counter and I snapped these snapshots. It went something like this…..(((teagan calls ty “baba”)))…..

“BABA BABA bee-boo?? BABA BABA bee-boo?” (((peekaboo))) Then he’d hide around the corner and pop his head out with a “boo!”

Ty happened to be jammin out to his ipod and singing along quite loudly. While I was wishing for some earplugs, Teagan was shaking his booty.

then it was off to read a few books […]

goodness |austin photographer

Today was filled with goodness. Good little details that make up life. A simple day, with good moments. I love days like this. I am thankful for them.

We woke up to Teagan talking to himself, happy little babble. So cute. I love the sounds coming through the monitor. The children actually napped. Not at the same time, but they both got sleep, I cannot complain about that. I had an amazing meeting with some people who could have a huge and awesome impact on my business. My mind is full with ideas and opportunity. Opportunity is such a great thing. I am thankful for wonderful clients who continue to share themselves with me, long after their portraits have been delivered. […]

the divas

Alli just sent me these and oh gosh, they crack me up. I didn’t bring my camera but thankfully Alli’s mom had her point and shoot in her purse. These two were something else! I love the little kid pedi chairs (thanks Becky for the recommendation!!). The little trays are dvd players, how cool is that?!

The look on Taryn’s face in the last shot cracks me up! My girl loves a good massage. If you could have heard their conversations, so funny. I don’t think the workers had any idea what was coming their way when the blond hair, blue eyed, divas stopped in. Alli thanks for sending these to me! […]
