On her birthday, Nick surprised Amanda with a little book that he wrote and illustrated himself. It was their story, complete with with a little cartoon Nick and Amanda. And their story has only just begun: Nick has since updated the book a few times, including the day in a cave on Mackinac Island when...
Last October I had the honor of photographing one of my very best friends with the love of her life. I love how Rose describes how their relationship transitioned over time: “I used to think he was like a ‘big brother’ to me – but one day I realized that meant we’d both find a...
They started dating as seniors in high school. Emily noticed him freshmen year, but she says took three years to finally catch Tyler’s eye. But their relationship blossomed from friends to “something special”, thriving even when long-distance during college. I admire the companionship that these two share. I can tell without a doubt that they...
Matt and Sam are fellow teachers at the same school. Their story begins at a math curriculum meeting (where only the best love stories begin) – Matt remembers meeting her for the first time and admiring her confidence as a first-year teacher. A while later, during a school spirit week, he dressed up like a...
Adam and Claire first met online, so they spoke on the phone before meeting in person. They both remember being smitten with the other’s voice. Their relationship clicked right away and has only gotten better with time. Adam says, “The gut feeling of knowing we’re right for each other has only been confirmed with time....
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?
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!
