Spending the morning with the Schafer family at Forsyth Park was such a joy. They wanted a session that felt natural and fun — no stiff poses, just real moments. And that’s exactly what we got.


With three energetic kids (Ariel, Athen, and Adler), there was never a dull moment — running, laughing, and lots of goofy faces. We got a mix of sweet family shots, some quiet moments between siblings, and a few action shots at the playground (where the kids were totally in their element).

Each kid brought their own personality — Ariel with her calm confidence, Athen cracking jokes and silly faces the whole time, and Adler just being his adorable, shy self. The best part? Watching them all just be themselves.


It was one of those sessions that you could really see a family's true colors and it was beautiful.


Thanks, Schafer crew, for letting me tag along for a little slice of your family life!
