April is fantastic! Amazing attention to detail, personable, professional and fun! From our first meeting, engagement shoot, our wedding day and all of the communication in between she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured so many fabulous photos during our wedding day that we will cherish forever. Also, she was NOT afraid of the rain and got the most amazing photographs because of it. We are so glad we chose April and will continue to contact her for any other photography needs! More...

Highly recommended We hired April to shoot our mother's 90th birthday / family reunion. She wandered through our huge crowd getting many beautiful candids and staged shots. When we realized that we never got any good pictures of our own kids/fam (too busy hosting!) April came back to add them to the portfolio! Talented, creative and great service - a winning combination! More...

April is such an amazing photographer! We love everything she’s done for us. She’s captured countless beautiful memories of both our baby shower and came to the hospital for our new born photo session. My entire family loves April’s work and we all hands down would recommend her skills to everyone!! More...

April Marie has a rare eye that captures people interacting, or just being themselves, not "posing" per se. Her shots are warm slices of life and its special events.

April took my daughter's high school senior photos, and we couldn't be happier with them. She worked with us to plan a photo shoot that represented her and her time in high school, and she was so accommodating to the requests we made. Not only did we love all the pictures, but we were thrilled that we got many more than we anticipated. The only "problem" was picking the ones we wanted to have made into prints and a photo book, because they are all beautiful! Thanks April! More...

April has been taking our pictures for 7 years. She took pictures for our wedding, a separate wedding photo shoot, both of our children's newborn sessions, and our family pictures. She has a unique talent and eye for capturing all of the different personalities in her photos. Every picture in my home has been taken by April and I couldn't be happier. She is professional, timely, and talented! More...

April has such an eye for capturing beautiful moments, that at the time you didn’t realize happened. We have 2 energetic girls, and every session their running around, crying, or just squirming through out the whole thing. We leave thinking, hopefully she got at least 1 good shot of us. Then Every time We’re so amazed that she gets A LOT of Great Shots! Her style is what you see in magazines. We wish she could follow us around everywhere so we could see our life through her lense !!!!! Highly recommend her! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Capturing moments as they happen rather than trying to create them.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
"What do you want your photos to say to you and your audience?"
What do you love most about your job?
Knowing that my work will be a piece of history for local families and businesses.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always been an entrepreneur and a photographer at heart (I actually just came across my first ever album from when I was about 8 years old!), so it was just a matter of waiting for the right time in my life.
Why should our clients choose you?
If you're looking for a perfectly posed portrait in front of a backdrop, we may not be a great fit. BUT if you're looking for authentic and artistic documentation of yourself, your children, your pets, your space or the most important day of your life, I would absolutely love to speak with you!
