Life as Art

It's more than my brand. It's my passion.

We Find The Real

Real moments lead to real memories that matter. There is no need to generate or manufacture the beauty and realities of our lives. My job is just to capture the moments as they pass. I want you to feel comfortable and connected so that your photos showcase your unique story.

Classic Photography that lasts

With over 15 years of experience, I've seen photography trends come and go. But, the real goal of photography is to deliver memories that hold up to time. We tell the story that your event paints. Some are bright and colorful, while others are best shared in black & white. Whatever the feel we want it to hold up against the clock, so you can be proud of your memories as they grow farther into the distance.

Art made for Showcasing

I very much believe in the idea that photography was meant to be seen as art. Sure some photos are great for sharing via phone or looking at in a small frame. But some photography is at its best when delivered as artwork. Grand photos hanging on walls to be seen by everyone that comes into your home.

I met April at a wedding expo in Portland, she was the first person I talked to about photography for my wedding with my now husband. April is extremely nice and professional. Gave us a very thorough interview for what we wanted and how it was going to go. Check in with us along the way even gave us helpful advice with wedding planning. The day of our Wedding, all of our guests adore April and everyone enjoyed their time with her. Both my Husband and I agree, April was our favorite part of the wedding process and we couldn't be happier with our photos. Highly recommend!

April is amazing! She’s so fun and upbeat and willing to do what it takes to get the shot, no matter how wild our idea was. She had some pretty wild and fun ideas herself! April’s creativity and passion for photography is unmatched. She made us both feel so comfortable and the pictures are perfection. Her additional products for purchase are also amazing and fairly priced. We loved working with April and are certainly looking forward to another shoot in the near future!

As a fellow vendor, April was a dream to work with, making everything so stress-free and fun. Watching her direct the group photos was especially a joy! Cannot recommend her enough for her artist's eye and her great personality! You can't go wrong hiring her!

Choosing April as our photographer was hands down the best decision my husband and I made for our wedding—truly, for any vendor. From our very first meeting, we knew she was special, but she went on to exceed every expectation we had. If you’re searching for someone who’s fun, lighthearted, and down-to-earth, yet knows how to take charge and keep your day on track, April is your go-to. She takes the time to learn every single person’s name in your wedding party and family, making everyone feel seen and valued. When one of our other vendors was incredibly late, April was there to comfort us and keep the day running smoothly. April has this incredible way of making you feel right at home while striking the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. I could go on forever about how much we love her! We’ve already talked about booking her for future child photoshoots (for kids who don’t even exist yet, but still!). I would work with her over and over again—she’s absolutely worth every penny and moment of your time.

April is the absolute best. She is such a great photographer and so fun to work with. The pure joy and fun that she has with every photo shoot makes everything amazing. You cannot go wrong with April! She will get everyone smiling and accommodate as much as she can with your photo desires.

April is absolutely the best photographer we have ever worked with. Quick with responses, joyful, so kind, and really puts in the extra effort. She made out wedding so much fun and the pictures didn't seem like a chore at all, she made the photos fun and just made it flow with all the craziness a wedding can bring. There was a bit of drama with our band on our night and through some unfortunate events, we had to go to small claims court and April showed up with us to support us and even spoke in our behalf. I hope we never have to get married again in our lives, but any and all photography we will need in the future, April will be the first we call! Thank you so much! and the photos turned out exactly how we pictured them in our minds, PERFECT

April was excellent. She is fun to be with and has contagious laugh. She has a great sense for the photos she wants and works really hard to ensure your big day is captured appropriately.

We had a wonderful experience with April! She walked us through every step of the process and helped is create a wedding that was perfect for us. And of course, April's pictures are gorgeous - we couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer!

I would not have made it through the day without April, she went above and beyond throughout the entire day! From helping me tape my dress before the ceremony to bustling my dress afterwards. I also had so many compliments from my guest and wedding party for her and her assistant. They ensured everyone felt comfortable and confident in pictures and got every angel imaginable. They truly helped make our day magical.
