April has captured more than an image of our daughter. She captured emotions and details that we will always treasure. April has a tremendous talent to see beyond the lens and brings her subjects forward with her artistry and eye for color. Our daughter’s portrait is a gorgeous piece of art on our wall.

Sweet Zella
24" x 20" Hand rendered, acrylic & mixed media on canvas 2020
"April captured a "moment in time" for our family with our beloved dogs several years ago that we will forever cherish! How she does it, is truly her gift! She was able to photograph three adults, two children, and four dogs in remarkable images! This was a gift for my husband, capturing his children, grandchildren and our beloved dogs. Since this photo session, we have lost three of the four dogs, and grandchildren have grown. Time passes on, but April gave us a gift that lasts a lifetime! We are forever grateful to April for her special talent and this gift of love and lasting memory!"

"Words cannot express how impressed I am with the quality of April's photography and painting of my very special boy, Edgar. I absolutely loved the painting of the photo of Edgar as it brought out a whole new dimension to it. I loved working with April while I was at a dog show no less and she captured the absolute best photo ever of Edgar along with several other shots I treasure. April is a pleasure to work with and a most excellent photographer who captures the character that her camera is aimed at! I highly recommend her!"
