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!

Family Portraits at Denver Botanic Gardens During June It’s no secret that my favorite place to photograph families in the Denver Metro area these days is Denver Botanic Gardens. They just have so many nooks and crannies with unique pretty backdrops all over the place there. I always feel very creatively inspired at this location. […]
