Hello, my name is Michelle Schaefer, but most people call me by my nickname, Mimi! I have been married to my husband, Joe for almost 21 years and I have two children. My daughter Shelby is 28 and my son Sam is 20. My daughter is married and she and her husband, Jordan have made me a grandma...twice! I have to beautiful granddaughters and they are my joy! My best photos are of them!!
 

I have been doing photography for other people for eight years, but have been taking pictures for over a decade. It was after I had my son that I took up scrapbooking and I desired to take better, more meaningful pictures of my own children and special occasions. So, the obvious thing to do was learn how. I didn't get my first DSLR camera until 2013 and I have only taken one class, but I have always been very creative and I love working with people of all ages and abilities. I believe that we learn best by doing, so I just practice a lot and soak up all I can from others in the field, watch instructional videos and, of course, take a lot of pictures!
 

I currently work part time at a fun bakery and I do photography on the side, but I would like to do this as my full time job. I put my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and give God all the glory for which He alone deserves. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for The Lord's saving grace! I can promise you that if you choose to work with me, I will do my very best to help you have fun and create beautiful pictures together! Thank you for your trust and support.
