National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica Wedding | Therese + Phillip

2021 is here and we started it off doing what we love: serving a couple on their wedding day.  This was my first time in Wisconsin….the land of cheese curds (which are delicious by the way.) When we landed there was a thick blanket of snow and I was instantly excited for the wintry portraits. […]

New Year’s Day Winter Wedding – St. Paul’s Catholic Student Center UW Madison | Rosie + Patrick

November here in Steubenville was a quiet month for our family.  No weddings this month made for a nice break from the regular workflow.  I had a few family sessions that kept me busy and I was able to do some work on updating our website with content from this past year. We went for […]

Big skies, golden sunsets and an overwhelming sense of joy and thanksgiving….the perfect recipe for a wedding in Dallas, Texas. This was our last wedding of 2020 and what a way to end this year’s wedding season. Veronica and Jon’s day was picture perfect, which, if you know Veronica, isn’t a surprise. The color pallet […]

Catholic Central and Big Red Steubenville Senior Sessions | Jack and Mike

We were blessed with many sunny warm days at the beginning and slowly the weather began to cool and the leaves turned brilliant colors.  One of the most enjoyable parts of being a parent is seeing the world through their eyes. It brings a freshness and newness to life.  […]

Schaefer Family Adventures: October 2020

It’s the time of year again! Senior portraits! I feel like the class of 2021 learned so much about what is important by watching the class of 2020 this past year.  They know that senior dances and even an in person graduation aren’t a given.  They have learned to savor the moment, not take anything […]

One year (and a few months) into marriage and these two still radiate so much joy!

Fall Fernwood State Forest Anniversary Session | Vanessa + Steven

God and family. Two things that clearly stood out to me this past weekend. Leah and Jacob were married in a beautifully intimate backyard wedding in the Fingerlakes Region of NY, near Skaneateles, NY.
