elcome to the journal for April O’Hare Photography! Here you’ll find all of my latest photographic outings with the couples, families, seniors and small businesses that I get to work with and make beautiful photographs for. You may also see a personal post here and there discussing my life or my travels with my teeny family of one husband and three cats! Sometimes I even write advice articles with tips to help make your photo experience better which you can check out under the “Educational” category.

Take your time and look around! Type in the place where you’ll be getting married in the search box to see if I’ve photographed there before. At the bottom of the page I’ve highlighted some of my favorite sessions and weddings from the past. Grab a drink and have fun going down the photo rabbit hole!

50th Birthday Party Brunch Photos at Stellar Jay Rooftop Bar

December 30, 2025

Stellar Jay Rooftop Bar Brunch Birthday Celebration at Populous Hotel

I’m thrilled that the very last blog post of the year that I’m sharing is of these awesome people. They have hired me to cover major life events for them since I first photographed their wedding over 10 years ago at Denver Botanic Gardens. Today I get to share some beautiful moments from their low key brunch birthday party that they hosted for Cash’s 50th birthday at Stellar Jay rooftop bar inside of the Populous Hotel. The brunch spread looked delicious and their family and friends gathered for some food and drinks and a chill hang out time inside the private room area. Below are some of my favorites that we created together at the party.

Happy Birthday, Cash! Here’s to many many more!
