I have always had an obsession for light and emotions. I fell in love with photography when I realized that I could capture both of these elements with my camera and then make it come alive again on my screen and in print. I strive to create images that bring out real emotions and inner beauty because I believe there is beauty in everything – especially those imperfect moments. I use my intuition and follow my heart. If it feels right and I feel it in my heart, it usually turns out pretty amazing…

Hey there! My name is Theresa Schumacher and I have been a portrait photographer in the Des Moines, Iowa area since 2014 when I made the leap from corporate IT to being my own boss in creativity!
