Playful, professional and poetic describe the vibe. Art of all genres is abundant, and the love of family and friends is evident in the many displayed photographs. Eclectic music filled the rooms during the shoot, and Schnei- der Williams even playfully grabbed her paintbrushes as a pretend mic at one point, singing along. She always has fresh flowers in a Parisian inspired vase in her kitchen/breakfast nook that now serves as her art studio, as a loving reminder of her honeymoon with her husband in Paris. Her cat roams their enchanting home as Schneider Williams feverishly finishes paintings for an upcoming show. This was one of the warmest shoots our team has ever had the privilege to work.
