about me

Hi! I am Virginia Schultz. Wife. Mother. Christian. Photographer. I have six delightful girls and an incredible husband who has served in the Air Force for over 20 years. My journey to photographer would not exist without my journey to motherhood. They are the ones that pushed me to be better and do better. I'm forever grateful for how my family has impacted my life.

there is

beauty

in everything

When I was little I remember pouring over a book my grandmother had of 1940's hollywood glamour shots. The way the light fell across their faces in these stunning black and white films just drew me in. Today you can find me trying to create beauty and light in all the spaces around me. From the simplicity of opening the blinds to creating artwork for clients, it's what fills me with joy on the daily.

I play piano when I need to relax

 

you can often find me rearranging my furniture....again

 

My husband and I dream of owning a farm someday

 

no one has ever guessed that I was exclusively homeschooled

 

I was not born in Omaha but I can't imagine living anywhere else

 

in another life, I'd be an interior designer

"Virginia is the sweetest, most patient person!!! I admired how gentle she was with my two week old and how much time she put into setting up each individual shot. She captured so many little details. My son has changed sooo much now, but I love being able to look back and see him exactly how I remember him when I met him. I can't wait for her to take my next baby's newborn photos!! It will be like I'm reuniting with an old friend."

"Virginia's attention to detail, not only in every photograph she captures, but also in the way she cares for her clients, is impeccable. She provides a client wardrobe for your session, offers high end quality products, takes the time to show your images to you in person, helps design your custom artwork...so many things!! I would highly recommend her again and again. The whole experience is amazing from beginning to end."

"We hired Virginia for a maternity shoot and were very happy with our photos and our experience working with her. I can’t even explain how wonderful the pictures are, we were blown away by the quality. She worked very well with my 3 year old and was able to get the most lovely shots from her because of it. She is a very talented photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a maternity or family photographer."

Virginia was so fabulous to work with! She was so positive and patient with my 2 boys who happened to have a lot of energy that day. She knew just what to say and how to get them to do as she asked. She also provided the wardrobe for us to wear which eliminated that stress from having to find something to wear. Overall, I am so pleased with our images and the quality. We will definitely be back.

We could not have been more pleased with our family portraits with Virginia. Her photography style is unique and unlike any photographer we have experienced. Her sessions are a full luxury, personalized experience, complete with beautiful styling to the creation of artwork and albums that will most certainly be heirlooms in our family."

KATI B.

..."The communication with her was outstanding from the start. She has the remarkable ability to give direction without being bossy or overbearing. And as a bonus, Virginia has a great wardrobe that took all the guesswork and stress out of planning matching outfits for our kids and myself. During our photoshoot, Virginia met the kids at their level, recognizing when they were focused and cooperating. When the kids got fidgety (as they so often do), she easily flexed to photos of me and my husband. The shoot was very organic and natural and effortlessly captured our family's personality..."

Our photography experiences with Virginia are always professional, warm, and effortless. Our family has invested in a range of her services from newborn photos to family portraits and we are never disappointed! Not only does she provide all necessary pieces to accomplish art-worthy photos, but she does so in a way that promotes laughter, authenticity, and comfort. She is patient, knowledgeable, and extremely effective in capturing the perfect moments for the perfect photos. She accentuates beauty naturally. Our photos from Virginia are forever family keepsakes!

A peek into my process:

consultation

I love people. I love to chat with you and dive into what makes your story unique so I can bring life into your images in a seamless way. Having been served by other business owners myself, I understand how important it is to be heard. You are what makes your story beautiful!!

o2

wardrobe

Can I just say that I feel like its a privilege to shop for you? How long have you spent trying to coordinate outfits for sessions. I know have spent countless hours for my own family. This is one of my favorite ways to serve and spoil you! Luxury brands, gorgeous textures, dreamy colors that won't distract from the beauty of you. (even shirts for dad!)

o3

session

Who here has had a newborn session that drags on and on for hours with multiple feedings + 'lack of diaper' situations? No thanks. You've just had a baby and the LAST thing you want is a stressful photography session. I design my sessions to be as quick and seamless as possible. I also empower you for success with a detailed Session Planning Guide.

design & ordering

I think there are a lot of us that have years and years worth of images on the cloud that we've needed to sift through for ages. Or that giant box of loose prints from the 90's that we need to organize but just feel overwhelmed by. This is why it's important to me to not only print your images but to do so in a way that won't overwhelm anyone. No need to organize an album, it's organized by nature. I won't let your images disappear in the digital cloud of overwhelm.

In order to serve my clients well, I offer a very limited number of sessions each month. In order to ensure session availability it is encouraged to contact me for a reservation as soon as possible.
