Family

CATEGORY:

Sooo …….sometimes life happens and you get behind. That’s what happened to me and my personal family photos. I had SO many sessions in April and May, family sessions, headshots, weddings, etc. that I couldn’t keep up with editing my own family photos. But now we have a bit of a lull and I’m caught up on editing! So I’m combining April and May into one blog post!

Schaefer Family Adventures: April and May 2019

I met Caitlin at a mom’s night about a year ago. She’s got a magnetic personality and I loved getting to know her. So I was really excited when she messaged me about doing a family session with her husband’s family. She suggested we do the session at Friendship Park near Smithfield, Ohio. I had never been there before but I’m always looking for new and different locations for sessions.

GUYS. This may be my new favorite photo location!

I was so excited when I got a message from Scott, asking if I would take their family photos. I worked at Franciscan University with him before I had John. When I met with Scott and Jill to talk about what they were looking for in family photos, they pointed to the portrait on the family room wall. “This is the last time we had family photos taken” they said. “It’s missing our two youngest kids!” Those kids weren’t even born yet…that’s how long it had been since they had professional photos taken of the family.

Schaefer Family Adventures: February 2019 (the month of going viral)

One of the best parts of being both a wedding and family photographer is getting to photograph our Fire and Gold couples’ families as they grow! Dalton and Jimmy Joe’s wedding photos went viral this past month after I posted images of Dalton wearing Ellie down the aisle. During all the craze about the Babywearing Bride, Dalton gave birth to her second child, a son. Sweet little Briar James.
