She was a pro and so kind from the beginning, from explaining the process, to consulting about the outfit, taking the photos, and assisting with selection afterwards - she was wonderful! Both kids were immediately comfortable with her and she took lots of time, energy, creativity, and patience to ensure we got some great shots to choose from. What I will remember about the studio sessions was how joyful they were, how much we all laughed. The finished portraits continue to bring us joy. Such a nice reminder of how fast the time goes, and our children love looking at them and are proud to show them off. Shana is right, they do instill a sense of belonging in kids and remind them how loved they are. They've been a wonderful investment and are probably my most cherished possessions!

Shana takes the time to sit with you to discuss clothing options (if doing outfit changes) and "problem areas" that you'd rather not emphasize. During my outdoor photoshoot, she would stand on an stool bending every which way just to get the best angle. The pictures turned out beautifully! The only negative thing I have to say is that her prices are expensive ($75 for a 7x5), but the quality is impeccable. Overall, I was extremely happy with the results!

Our wedding was the only wedding they scheduled for that day, ensuring we were their only focus. Michelle and Chandler handled a small emergency at the reception for me with nothing but smiles and calm confidence. Absolutely In earned five stars from me!

I HATE having my photo taken, but she actually made the process fun and worked with me to produce really flattering headshots. I've gotten multiple compliments from friends and colleagues on my new headshots, and I would recommend her to any professional without hesitation. For our family photos, I was blown away by how patient she was with my 3 year old son, who was not in the mood to have photos taken the day of our shoot. She cheered him up in impressively short order, and ultimately she took gorgeous photos that captured our family's personality perfectly. And when I thought it couldn't get any better, she turned around the proofs and edits for both sessions very quickly! She was professional and communicative throughout, and I can't overstate just how much I've enjoyed working with her.

She provided amazing equipment that was simple to setup, and the end products were amazing. Her personality even helped drive people to our booth!

There are few people I would feel comfortable welcoming into our home during such a tender, vulnerable time, but April is definitely one of them. She is unfailingly positive and kind as well as talented, and she has a gift for setting people at ease to get the best possible shots. (We're an awkward bunch, and don't make this easy!) As both an educator and a mother herself, April is so good with kids, and was very understanding of the needs of both our six year old and our newborn. Her background as a wedding photographer translates readily into family portrait photography, as she is able to draw out the love between family members and showcase the best qualities of the relationship between two people.

The search for photographers was overwhelming and the list was long! I emailed many photographers whose prices were too high or they simply didn't respond. I finally came across April and was instantly drawn to the soft, simple beauty of her photos. She responded quickly and her prices were great! April took the time to speak to me on the photo, text, and over email several times before our photo session. She got to know my fiance and I through a thorough questionnaire that was so fun to fill out. She even customized our photo package to best meet our specific requests and vision for our photos. On the day of the shoot, April arrived early and was already BEYOND prepared with many ideas for our photos. She helped us get comfortable in front of the camera quickly and seamlessly! I was shocked at how quickly she helped us loosen up and have a great time! Throughout the shoot she incorporated our opinions and ideas while also including her own creative vision. The result was a wide range of beautiful photos that we will treasure forever. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to incorporate every photo that we wanted as well as the plethora of ideas and inspiration that she had. It was a GREAT experience and I feel like April really captured US through her lens. We received our photos much earlier than expected. Every single one turned out beautifully. I am SO thrilled that I chose April to photograph our engagements. BOOK WITH HER! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
