Bloomington photographer Grace Schafstall empowers women to love their bodies while exploring representations of feminine beauty. Through her boudoir photography, she examines the subtleties of the female form allowing the audience to experience intimate moments reserved for the camera.
“You are so used to your features, you don’t know how beautiful you look to a stranger.”
Self-taught photographer Grace Schafstall developed a love for photography 6 years ago when she was gifted a hand-me-down camera from an uncle. It had fallen off the roof of his car and he had upgraded. Scuffed and old as it was, Grace loved how it felt in her hand. She photographed as a hobbyist until January of 2018 when she discontinued her degree in Nonprofit Management at Indiana University to pursue her dream as a full-time photographer.
Grace and her partner, Kevin, work together at GS Photos photographing weddings, families, and boudoir. They reside in Bloomington, IN with one roommate – Kevin’s 87 year-old grandmother. They spend much of their time improving their home, spoiling their 4 cats, and nurturing their dozens of plants.
