Thanks for stopping by to check out our photography! We absolutely love making new friends, hanging out and of course – we always like to bring along a camera. And that’s exactly how we want our shoots to feel… Just some good friends hanging out, spending some quality time together, enjoying a beautiful afternoon, celebrating something special and creating memories of once in a lifetime moments. After we go our separate ways, you’ll have some beautiful photos to look back on to help remember that amazing time in your life. We are located in Columbia, Mo. and specialize in portrait photography – including family, wedding, newborn and senior photography – but we are available for all your photography needs! We really love what we do and we can’t wait to share our passion with you!
WE'VE GOT CAMERAS
AND WE KNOW HOW TO USE THEM
It’s very important that we vibe with each other so read on and get to know us! We love Missouri and we love to travel 🙂 We enjoy music, dogs (especially our English Springer Spaniel – Jolene), neon lights, streaming shows, antique hunting, beautiful scenery, laughter and most importantly, we love people! We enjoy experiencing all of the wonderful things that Columbia, Mo. has to offer.
Our little family is our whole world so we know how much capturing life’s moments mean to our clients. We’d love to be there for you from the time you get engaged until you’re standing next to your best friend on your wedding day… or when you get to hold your newborn for the very first time until they walk across the stage to graduate as a senior in high school or from the University of Missouri! M-I-Z!
Come hang out with us and experience our passion for portrait and documentary photography. We love documenting every special moment of our family with a photojournalistic approach and our same love and experience will go into creating photos for you! We strive to capture photos using beautiful light and gorgeous colors that are true to life. We hope that one day when you look back on life, you’ll turn to our photos and be able to relive some beautiful moments.
Gosh darn it, people like us!
Scott and Shannon were AMAZING to work with...
I am completely in awe and obsessed with every single wedding picture we received. They went above and beyond capturing every sweet moment of our big day. They are very easy and fun to work with, helping the wedding party and guests feel completely comfortable the entire time! 5 out of 5 stars does not even do it justice when it comes to Schaefer Photography. We recommend them 100%.

We loved working with Schaefer Photography...
for our newborn pictures! Scott and Shannon were fun, comfortable and talented. The pictures turned out more beautiful than we dreamed! They paid great attention to detail which I loved. I definitely recommend then for family photo shoots, as they are very patient and wonderful with the little ones!

Weddings can be stressful enough...
throw a once in a lifetime pandemic into it and holy guacamole stress level. Throughout the entire wedding process having Scott, Shannon, and their team there for us was amazing. Their work is incredible, I love walking past the pieces on our walls and being reminded of a day full of so much love. I’m excited for them to capture all of our family moments in the years to come.

FAMILY SESSION
My wife says that there are few better moments in life than getting a message from Schaefer Photography saying our family pictures are done and on the way. We will continue to use Scott & Shannon until they fire us as clients!
