Raelene Schulmeister Photography

What do winter family photos on a farm look like? Just like this! An old barn, a few pretty horses, big ole belt buckles and a cowboy hat are the standard!
Megan and her kids are some of the best people I know!... 💗

I am a legal photography business. I pay taxes. Federal, Provincial, GST, and Town License Fees for my towns. I have my tax ID number and local business licenses for all the areas I do business in. Those taxes pay our public officials like teachers and emergency responders (and much more) and pay for things our community desperately needs. I pay for liability and equipment insurance. I have spent THOUSANDS furthering my education. A photography business is so much more than h...aving a "fancy camera." Love it when my clients say “Your camera takes such great pics!” 🤦‍♀️
I might be more expensive than others in our area but I believe I’m so worth it. My prices are based on the minimum amount it takes to pay all of my taxes, cover all of my expenses, and pay myself a fair wage for working on my photography business full time while working hard to be as affordable for my clients as possible.
This is my career. It's a job. I am good at what I do and confident in the work I provide for my clients and I care about and support others in our industry. Photographers deserve to be paid a fair wage just like everyone else. Photographers shouldn't make less because we love what we do. I love what I do and love my incredible clients and I am so proud to be a legal photography business.

PS- I stole this from Nicole Ashley Photography, I don’t know where it originated from but it’s so true.

working with raelene was awesome, fun, and she is the most talented photographer ever! i would recommend her to anyone, and the pictures she took turned out so great 😊 i couldn't be happier with my experience with her!

What can I say!!! An awesome lady that was able to make us feel so relaxed and so much fun ... ESP for a hubby that hates his pic being taken a teenager that just wanted to go back to his friends a lady (me) who was paranoid about body parts and a Great Dane that wanted to sit on the photographer!!! Thank u so much and for listening to me and making me feel comfortable... An amazing evening :) can not thank u enough and can not wait till we get his arrival to have the new born photos... Def found our family photographer for life!!

This was Briella-Rae 's first time ever having photos done and it was an amazing experience. Raelene was so relaxed and so patient with everything and the photos turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Raelene as a photographer, and will be going back very soon to have more pictures done.

So great to work with! Friendly easy going attitude yet extremely thoughtful and pays great attention to detail!

She was amazing! The pictures turned out so good! Her upbeat personality made getting the pictures done so much more fun too😋

Ralene was second shooter for Chloe & man was I glad she was!! Her infectious personality and amazing eye for detail really made the photos perfect!!! I would HIGHLY recommend her!

Raelene makes everything so fun and easy. Extremely talented! She captures the best photos and is very efficient, using your time with her very wisely. I can't say enough good things about her and her team. We have had her for engagement and wedding photos and will continue to work with her.

Raelene just did my daughters photos for grad. They turned out absolutely stunning and I'm not sure how I'm ever going to choose. She was a blast to work with, even in crappy weather!!! She had tons of creative ideas and she just kept the photos coming. She went above and beyond with my parents downloading and sending them their photos with Megan immediately so she could have them before holidays!! Thanks Raelene, you made Megan feel beautiful and special!!!

Raelene is the best photographer I have ever experienced. Not only are her photos are absolutely stunning but she is such a bright and positive person. She stayed extra at our wedding on her own time to make sure everything was perfect. Not only that she is very social but she is a lot of fun too. I highly recommend Raelene Schulmeister Photography!



Thank you for sharing such an amazing day with my wife and I.

Raelene is seriously the best! She's great at making you feel comfortable and makes you feel like you're best friends! Her photos are stunning, and timeless and you'll be able to look back for years to come and remember your wedding day just like it happened. I can't recommend this girl enough! :)

Raelene does an amazing job taking beautiful photographs, all while ensuring you are comfortable and having a great time! She pays attention to detail and it truly shows! Thank you so much for your amazing work Raelene and creating some great memories for our little family.

Raelene did a fantastic job on our family photos!!

Raelene is fantastic . She goes with the flow makes people laugh and have a fun time with their photo shoots. She's quick with getting u the photos. There hard to pick from as they are all good. �

If you want it to feel like a family member or close friend is taking your picture, Raelene is the person to hire. She was so prepared and creative. She spent the whole day with us and it just felt so natural and easy going. We had an amazing day. Thank you for being apart of it.

I really dislike having my picture taken, but when we tagged along during one of her shoots, Raelene said for my husband and I to jump in place for a sec. We reluctantly agreed but 5 minutes later we were done and the photos are more stunning than our wedding ones! She made us laugh, smile and feel so comfortable and natural. She's got a great eye!!

Had a great day walking through the park getting my snaps taking thanks your a Rockstar!!

Had a blast , you made it fun



Coming from a guy who doesn't like pictures, could very well be talked into it again.

Another great photographer right in my backyard! x
