Family & Maternity Portraits
I'm a Michigan wedding and portrait photographter. I'm the one who will assist with planning your wedding timeline, help pin on boutineers, answer your questions and capture your moments the way they deserve to be.
I started my photography business in 2014. I was going to school for my master's degree, working part time at the St. Clair County Library System, photographing people on the weekends and dreaming about becoming a full-time photographer. Almost 10 years later and that dream is now a reality! In April 2023, I left my job at the library to pursue photography full-time!
Taking the leap was scary, but it's what God was calling me to do, and it's been worth every minute! Spending my time serving my couples and doing what I'm passionate about has been so rewarding! How many people get to do that every day?!
I love working with my couples. My goals is to help them shine in front of the camera throughout both their engagement session and at their wedding. Something I hear a lot from the couples is how relaxed and fun our time together is. While I take my job very seriously, I want you to enjoy yourself. On your wedding day, you will be spending more time with me than almost anyone else. I want you to feel at ease and truly enjoy the excitement that will surround you on your wedding day. If you don't feel free to be yourself around your photographer, then you won't love your images and they won't feel like you.
Hi, I'm April
Photographer, Twin, Child of God
T h e P r o c e s s
One way I ensure families have the best photography experience is by creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable. Family sessions aren’t just about taking pictures—they’re about capturing the love, laughter, and unique connections that make your family special.
Whether it’s playful moments with the kids or a quiet, heartfelt embrace, my goal is to document your family in a way that feels natural and true to who you are. I’ll guide you through the session so you can focus on enjoying time together while I capture beautiful, genuine memories.
To book, simply fill out a proposal where you’ll choose your package, sign the contract, and pay a 20% non-refundable retainer to reserve your session. Once completed, we’ll work together to schedule the perfect time for your session. Keep reading to learn more about The Family Experience!

Why choose me?
Because I understand that photos aren’t just images—they’re memories, emotions, and moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
In 2021, I lost my father. I’ll never get the chance for him to walk me down the aisle or share a father-daughter dance. That experience changed the way I see photography. I’ve worked with couples who have lost parents or grandparents shortly after their session, and the photos I took became some of their most treasured keepsakes. The people in our lives matter, and I don’t just capture beautiful portraits—I capture the love, connection, and genuine moments between you and those closest to you.
During your session, I focus on creating a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere where you can truly be yourselves. Whether it’s a quiet, intimate moment or a joyful, laughter-filled interaction, I’ll be there to document it in a way that feels natural and authentic. You deserve more than just pretty pictures—you deserve a meaningful experience and images that will take you back to how you felt in that moment, years from now.
Your love story is unique, and your photos should be too. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Frequently Asked questions
I'm based near Memphis, Michigan, and love to travel! Sessions further than 30 miles from Memphis, Michigan will incur a travel fee. Mention your location when you contact me, and I will provide a quote. If your location is on my list of places I'd like to photograph, you may be eligible for special pricing.
You will receive an email with your online gallery link, a bonus mobile app, and other instructions 1-2 weeks after your portrait session. This timeframe could be shorter depending on the season.
The number of images you receive will vary based on the package you choose and the amount of time it includes. I provide an estimate with each package, but I'm typically an "over-shooter" and usually deliver more.
Your photos will be delivered in an online gallery and mobile app. The images in your online gallery are larger files and are best for downloading to your computer, meanwhile the mobile app downloads are smaller files that don't take up as much storage on your phone and are a better size for sharing on social media. Feel free to share these links with your friends and family.
I prefer to use natural light for portraits, but I’m fully equipped to work with flash in any setting. My goal is to ensure that my flash images blend seamlessly with my natural light work, giving you a consistent and cohesive gallery. When time and location allow, I also love using flash creatively to add a unique and artistic touch to your images.
First, you will need to fill out the inquiry form on my website. Once I receive this, I will send you an email with a link to my pricing guide full of information. If you choose to book with me, a contract will need to be signed and a 20% non-refundable retainer paid.
I am currently booking 2025-2026 portrait session dates. I recommend booking 2-3 months in advance to ensure the date/season you'd like to have is available.
I do! I know this is an investment, so I make it easier by offering various payment plans that work with your budget. Unless otherwise requested, your total will be divided into 5 payments, but can be customized as needed. The non-refundable deposit to hold your date is 20% at the signing of your contract.
My cameras record each photo to 2 different memory cards. If there is an issue with a memory card, I have a backup!
After your portrait session, I transfer your photos to a solid-state hard drive and do not delete them from my camera cards until after your images are edited and uploaded to your online gallery.
In Michigan, it's normal for us to have a lot of cloudy days. I don't typically reschedule a portrait session unless there is rain. In the case of rain or snow, we will choose a new date that works for you, although if you're up for a unique experience, I have worked in rain and snow. I have a collection of clear umbrellas and am always up for an adventure!
In my 11+ years of photographing portraits, I have never missed a session. I would love to say that this will always be the case, but unfortunately, we never know what the future holds. In the case of an emergency, you have the option to trust me to provide a backup photographer that I have all the confidence in to photograph your session, or we can reschedule your session.
