On this rainy Sunday evening, we decided to get the lights out and play around a little.

tiny dancer | San Diego Photographer
Today was the big Neisha’s Dance Academy Ballet recital at the San Diego Civic Theater. This year’s theme was “Circus”. After the dress rehearsal yesterday, we were able to get some shots of outside the theater. The theme of her dance was “Masquerade”. It’s always striking to me how this young lady…who trips, bonks, bangs,...
9 years old | Chula Vista Photographer
We usually skip the traditional school photo every year. Instead, we take each of the kids out on (or near) their birthday and do a quick photo shoot. This year’s 9 year old shoot was pretty brief. We were on our way to my parents house for dinner (and the amazing chocolate cake) and made...
Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife | Chula Vista Photographer
Today is Julia’s birthday. It’s a big one. Last weekend we visited a few close friends in Seattle, but today was the actual day to celebrate. The kids and I started the day for her with breakfast in bed. If you’ve ever tried to make breakfast with the help of a 6 and 8 year...
Schafer Photography – our family in photos 2010
This is the time of year where I start to think about resolutions. Well, “resolutions” might not be the right word. I believe more in “goals” or “intentions’ than “resolutions”. I still have some “intentions’ from a few years ago that are on the list. One day they will be a reality. Until then, they...
Merry Christmas
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. This photo pretty much sums up the fun we had. We were able to spend some valuable time with family just hanging out and enjoying each other.
So Cal fun | San Diego Photographer
Growing up in Southern California suburbs means that I spent hours on my bike and skateboard as a kid. A few weeks ago I realized that our kids might be missing out on a part Southern California culture. They didn’t have skateboards. With some help from a friend, I was able to be “the best...
Colby | Balboa Park photographer
Running on the grass, going for a walk around Balboa Park, playing frisbee and just hanging out with your best friend….sounds like the perfect day. And I think for Colby, this black retriever, it was. Both Julia and I love dogs. Our yellow lab, Roxy, is always laying at our feet when we are on...
Teachers Rock! | San Diego Photographer
At Schafer Photography, we feel passionate about the importance of education. We both have strong ties to the education field. Without question, teachers give their heart and soul to their profession. Day-in and day-out, these people provide guidance and love to kids in ever increasing class sizes for less and less money. This year, once...
Learning from the Master – Shooting Kids Workshop with Jay Reilly
Last Friday I got to live Jason’s dream and attend a Jay Reilly workshop. Jason was insanely jealous, as he should be. I spent the day getting lighting, camera and business tips from Jay Reilly and hanging out with a group of great photographers. We used Artist Alley in Oceanside for our first photoshoot with...
