Okay...
Beyond being a light and airy photographer in Southern Ontario, what makes up the whole person of Eva Schmitt? Considering I’m the one writing this, this should be easy.
Here are a few of my hats; mom, wife, believer, sister, daughter, dress collector, latte & matcha lover, gym junkie & friend. If you wear any of these hats, we'll probably be best friends by the end of our session together!
I have two boys who are just as dramatic and excitable as me. I married my best friend in 2017 despite only meeting him 16 months prior.
Concepts that have changed the chemistry of my brain. Respectful Parenting 10/10 recommend. Self-care in the form of eating when you’re hungry, even if you’re just making food for yourself. Affirmations, again 10/10 recommend. Not sure what an affirmation is? Here are a few of my favourites; I am allowed to take up space, I am individually created by the Almighty God, I am allowed to listen to my body, and yet still know better than my body. That’s a big one for someone with ADHD like myself. I am allowed to acknowledge my body feels tired (which it often does after entertaining 2 kids for a large part of the day and waking up at 5am to hit the gym) but I also know I am fully capable of accomplishing the goals I have set out for myself for today.
Back to the usual About Me stuff. When I’m not photographing your lovely face, I am probably editing, talking my husband to go on random family adventures with me aka running errands (he’s not a fan, but I love the quality time), reading; generally an autobiography, fiction or low fantasy. Did you know Twilight is low fantasy, I mean I knew that, but I never really thought about it that way. Also yes, I definitely just aged myself. I also love to wrestle my kiddos and after 8pm I am officially in pjs watching a movie on the couch with my hubs.
Thanks for taking the time to read. I appreciate your interest in my work and artistic vision. I can’t wait to meet you and create dreamy, flowy, glowy light and airy ART together!
