My 2014 wedding season kicked off with Jim and Justine’s wedding day. And, wow, what a day it was. The couple was married at Christ Community Church in Grand Rapids with a reception at Thornapple Pointe. We got to drive around the golf course with the bridal party in golf carts to get the best...

Photographing Kyle and Tasha’s wedding was a true delight. I had photographed the groom’s sister’s wedding last summer, so it was neat seeing familiar faces in their family members. Tasha and Kyle were married at St. John Lutheran in New Boston, Michigan, with a reception at the beautiful Plymouth Manor. I loved all the little creative...
I can’t help but rave about how beautiful Emily and Steffen’s wedding was. The couple has known each other since they were in diapers, and their love is so special. Now living in Colorado, they drove back to Michigan to be married in the Steffen’s parent’s backyard. A grand garden of a backyard, mind you....
It was love at first sight. Two freshmen at Concordia University Ann Arbor, the two quickly became one of my favorite couples on campus. They were such a joy to be around. Not even a year into their beautiful relationship, Josh proposed (he had me on-call to photograph their excitement just minutes afterwards). Exactly two...

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.
