That person to the left over there? That's me, April. I'm a photographer (no kidding, right?) in Lafayette, Indiana. I love shooting everything, but my passion is wedding photography. Ironically enough, that's the one thing I said I never wanted to do. Go figure.
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world (wide web). I hope you'll come back often & leave lots of comment love. Photographers loooove comments. And lenses, but that's a different story....
I only wish that my eyelashes looked like this. I honestly can’t believe Jack sat still long enough for me to take this. I took it with my old school macro lens & had to use manual focus. It may take a little longer, but that lens produces some of my most favorite pictures. Of course it helps when I’m photographing one of my favorite subjects as well.
- What a cutie! Great picture! Boys always get the long perfect eyelashes! Not fair! :)February 19, 2010 - 1:26 pm
- He is SUCH A GOOD BOY!!! Tell him I LOVE AND MISS HIM!February 19, 2010 - 1:57 pm
- VERY nice...February 19, 2010 - 3:38 pm
- I want those eyelashes too!!!February 21, 2010 - 2:22 pm
Here’s a little teaser of a big blog post that’s coming up this week. One of my all time favorite ring shots…
Hooray! My first full blog since, well, let’s just say it’s been awhile. My plan for the winter is to show you all the stuff I’ve been storing away for the cold, slow months ahead. There are a couple of weddings, a baby, another afterglow session, an engagement session & a few family sessions too. Hopefully I’ll be getting some energy back in a few weeks & I can get some more up here. Keep your fingers crossed for me, ‘k?
What better way to start off 2010 than with the amazingly awesome Nicki? I had so much fun on this photoshoot, that it almost made me decide to do only afterglow sessions from now on. But then I realized that most of the fun was Nicki herself & Robin too of course, who tagged along & held Nicki’s coat for her in between shots. Nicki was up for anything, including potential trespassing (shhhh….) & braving the frigid water, just to get some cool shots. So, yeah, you could say we got along. Here are the links to her two sneak peeks, just in case you forgot – 1 & 2. Also, make sure & watch the slideshow, ’cause it’s the first one I’ve ever custom timed myself. Impressive, huh? ;)
ps–the shoot was at Trader’s Point Creamery & they couldn’t have been nicer!
One of Nicki’s favorites….
Sooo, as I was posing Nicki for this shot, I know for a fact she thought I was crazy. Luckily she trusted me when I told her that it may be uncomfortable, but it looked totally natural &, oh yeah, AWESOME!
The sun only peeked out a couple of times
All I’m going to say about this is that Nicki is a brave, brave girl. Oh yeah & I freaking love this picture!
You can’t be on a farm & not have a tractor in at least one shot….
Seriously, could she be working it any harder? Rock. On.
Nicki’s favorite. I’ll admit, I’m pretty partial to it myself…
Pretty, pretty, pretty….
LOVE it.
FYI, this was in October & it was FREEZING!
See, I’ll bet her dress isn’t nearly as trashed as you would’ve expected it to be, now is it?
- Stunning girl, but then again, I'm partial. :) Awesome shots. And I love the song you used for the slideshow!January 12, 2010 - 11:29 am
- Wow! What girl wouldn't want that for herself?! Beautiful.January 12, 2010 - 8:17 pm
- Yah, I want to be her too...looks like a lot of fun :)January 15, 2010 - 3:59 pm
Just in case the title didn’t give it away, I have some very exciting news – I’m pregnant! That’s right, Jack’s going to be a big brother 
I wanted so much to put a picture of him up here with a cute sign telling the big news, but it’s been pretty hectic around here. I finally realized that the baby will be here before I ever get the sign made, so I just decided to lay it out for you plain & simple. If you’ve noticed my lack of posting both here & on facebook lately, hopefully this explains why. To say that I’ve been tired would be the biggest understatement in the world of understatements. I’m just waiting for the end of the month when the tiredness is supposed to take a vacation & leave me feeling more like myself again. This was quite the little surprise for Dustin & I, but it’s actually pretty cool because both my sister-in-law & my little sister are due within 6 weeks of me. So, that should be fun!
Because of this exciting development, I only have a few spots left for next year for wedding photography, so, if you’d like me to shoot your wedding, get ahold of me asap & see if I’m available!
Since I don’t have a cute picture of Jack with a sign, here’s one from Thanksgiving weekend with his best pal, Charlie. They were getting ready to go to their first monster truck show (which I sat out thankyouverymuch). Can you tell they’re excited?
- Congrats!!!! Looks like we are both going to be exploring the world of two kids. (AHHHHHHH!)December 28, 2009 - 9:58 pm
- Congrats April! That's so exciting ;) What a blessed way to celebrate 2010!December 29, 2009 - 8:28 am
- CONGRATS!!!!! I'm so excited for you!December 29, 2009 - 10:58 am
- yay!!! Congratulations!!December 31, 2009 - 1:07 pm
- So I'm a little late on seeing this, but CONGRATULATIONS! It's so fun that you and Shaena are pregnant at the same time too! :)January 5, 2010 - 2:26 pm
So, yeahhh, that was an awkward absence. Sorry about that. Here’s one of the teasers I said I’d put up here (3 weeks ago). In my defense, it’s been probably the most insane 3 weeks of my life. Check in later for all the crazy details, until then, enjoy the awesome Robyn & Josh…
- Love it! Perfect couple and perfect processing for the picture!December 15, 2009 - 12:03 am
