Especially perfect for people who swear they hate being photographed.
Photos don’t have to feel awkward, stiff, or like a performance. I know what it's like for someone to point a camera at me and say "ok, just act natural." It's the worst! What am I supposed to do with my hands???
At Schmitt Photo Co., I create a relaxed, joyful photography experience rooted in comfort, connection, and a little laughter. Ok - maybe a lot of laughter. These are the kinds of sessions where you don’t have to know what to do. That’s literally my job!
​
The best photos happen when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself.
Not perfectly posed. Not trying too hard. Just present and smushed up against the people you love.
​
That’s why my approach is simple:
​
Ease over perfection
You don’t need to know how to pose or where to put your hands. Truly. I'll guide you through it all and keep things feeling fun.
​
Connection over posing
I care way more about how it feels than how it looks. Less “say cheese,” and more moments that actually feel like you. There's no possible way for you to screw up because I will guide you the entire time.
​
Joy without pressure
Photography should feel fun, relaxed, and human. Expect encouragement, gentle direction, and probably a bad joke or two. I don't care if your dog is drooling on my camera bag, your toddler has decided that "sitting still" isn't in their vocabulary, or three brand new pimples are throwing a party on your forehead. You just need to show up, and I will take care of the rest.
What I Photograph
Schmitt Photo Co. is an extension of the same philosophy that built Buxom Boudoir: that feeling seen and supported changes everything. All bodies deserve to be photographed and even - gasp! - enjoy their time in front of the camera!
​
I photograph:
-
Weddings that prioritize meaning over perfection
-
Families who want connection, not stiff smiles
-
Couples who want their photos to feel natural and real
-
People who are pretty sure they’re “bad at photos” (you’re not and we can't WAIT to prove it to you)

What It’s Like to Work With Me
From the first conversation to the final images, my goal is simple: help you relax!
​
I’ll guide you, keep things light, and make sure you never feel left wondering what you should be doing. Most clients tell me some version of, “That was way less awkward than I expected,” which I consider the highest compliment.
​
Turns out trust and comfort photograph really freaking well.
Investment
I believe pricing should feel clear and straightforward, not confusing or intimidating.
Our wedding collections and other sessions are designed to give you a relaxed, supportive experience from start to finish, with thoughtful guidance and beautiful final images you will actually love.
​
If you are not sure what you need yet, that is completely okay. I will walk you through the options and help you decide what makes the most sense for this chapter of your life.
