Brunstetter Family

It is such a joy to watch dear friends become parents. Jay and Lynae (my cousin, sometimes mistaken to be my twin — haha!) stood up in our wedding, are our son’s godparents, and now, they are parents themselves. They visited us in Sterling Heights over a long weekend, and it was the perfect opportunity...

Levi // newborn

Hello, spring! Tis the season of celebrating new life, and what better life to celebrate than that of a precious baby boy? I know Jackie and PJ from college days, and I was delighted when they asked me to photograph their growing family. Those cheeks, though!

Joel + Adele // Ann Arbor Engagement Session

High school sweethearts, best friends. I can’t think of a girl more perfect for my little brother than Adele. It’s easy to get all sappy when I think about how God orchestrates lives and puts people together. These two have been together since they were juniors in high school, and we’re now in the final...

Brian + Marybeth // Eastern Market Engagement Session

  Marybeth and Brian are such a fun couple with a deep love for Christ and for each other. They picked Eastern Market as the location for their engagement session, and it really was the perfect spot: tons of color, a little quirky, and surprising peaceful (especially compared to when the Market is full on weekends)....

McShane girls // family

Two sweet sisters, four and two.We had the Kensington Metropark practically to ourselves, so Callie and Molly could run, twirl, and play. I just love watching these two grow up together — and photographing them along the way. with love, Abi S

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

What should my child wear?

Whatever is comfortable, but please avoid graphics or neon clothing. Because the backdrop is gray, I recommend staying away from gray as well. All individual shots of toddlers and preschoolers will be taken bust/shoulders up. Babies and sibling photos may include more of their bottom half.

 

How will I get my photos?

Families who have pre-registered have been emailed a secure password-protected online Shootproof gallery. Your director will also let you know when the gallery is ready to view. You’ll have your choice of 3-5 images, edited in classic color and black and white. Some children are more expressive and more comfortable in front of the camera and may have more photos in their gallery. The entire school will be in the same password protected gallery, divided by class and student. Sibling photos can be found in the older child's gallery. If you would prefer a private gallery, please contact the photographer.

 

Your prints can be easily ordered from the site, and digitals can be purchased and downloaded at your convenience. YOU get to choose which images you print and display and gift. You can even opt to send the link to family members, and they can order the size prints they prefer. All physical prints and products will be delivered to school within two weeks of the ordering deadline, or shipped to your home for an additional cost.

 

How do I receive a class composite?

Each print and digital order will receive a free class composite photo. These will be delivered to school at a later date this fall/winter.

 

When checking out, does "I'll pickup" mean it will be delivered to school?

That's exactly right! If you prefer your prints to be shipped to your home or a family member's home within the U.S., click "ship to me."

 

Will Abi Schmit Photography use my child's image online or print marketing?

I may contact you for permission to use your child's image on social media and in my marketing, but I will never share without your permission, and I never share a child's name or identifying information. Your safety is my priority!

 

My child was absent. When is Make-Up Day?

Abi will return to school on the morning of Tuesday, October 24. Registration is required for students who were previously photographed but would like retakes.

 

Can you retouch my child's photo?

All photos have been edited and color corrected, but if you need special retouching (for example, a scratch or snotty nose), you can add to cart in the "Retouch" menu. Digital images, if purchased, will be delivered electronically within 5 days.

 

How can I use my digital image?

If you purchase a digital image or full gallery, you will receive a Print Release and be able to print wherever you prefer to receive your prints from. You are free to use in Christmas cards, or share on social media. Giving photo credit to Abi Schmit Photography online is always appreciated.

 

I have more questions. How do I contact you?

Feel free to contact me at abischmit.photo@ gmail (dot) com if you have any further questions. Please do not contact me through my website contact form on the homepage unless you have interest in booking a session. Thank you!

 

Thank you for supporting a local small business, and for the privilege and honor of photographing your child and serving your school this year.
