NEW WEBSITE: WWW.SCHAFERPHOTOGRAPHY.COM As much as we loved our old website, we’ve been looking for a change. The folks over at IntoTheDarkroom were super helpful in getting things set up and getting some of the kinks worked out. I had a million questions for them as we built it, and they were very quick to...
