Meet April
As a mother of 2, I know all too well how in a blink of an eye our babies go from toothless grins to teenagers that are all of a sudden needing senior portraits. In today’s digital age, it’s easy to whip out your phone and snap a photo here and there, but truly timeless moments of our children deserve more than that, and unless the generations to come have access to our SIM cards, hard drives or clouds, how will the moments captured exceed our lifetime?
"My commitment to every client experience is that your children feel beautiful, magical, and loved. The heirloom portraits from evoking ethereal expressions are nothing short of enchanting and will be treasured for centuries. Nothing else on this earth can replace the moments behind the lens that I am so grateful to capture and give to you (and your family)."

“April is just an amazing person and artist! She makes the kids feel really, really comfortable. She thinks of EVERYTHING! You do nothing but show up at the right time and she takes it from there! It was a wonderful experience! It’s a moment in time April captures in a way that I don’t think anyone else can.”
-Diane M.
“April, you have captured my children's innocence, beauty, silliness, and most of all their love for one another in your portraits. Even though I walk away from a session drained from their lack of cooperation, you ALWAYS have the perfect picture. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me and will always keep me coming back for more."
