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!

Blue and Green Basketball Bar Mitzvah Party

March 20, 2025

Green and Blue Basketball Themed Bar Mitzvah Party at Columbine Country Club

I have another very special bar mitzvah to share on the journal today. This time it is for my nephew, Cam. He just turned 13 and celebrated his bar mitzvah just a few weeks ago and I’m excited to get to share a small selection of some of my favorite photos we got on his big day. It feels like we just celebrated his big brother, Griff’s bar mitzvah and I know it’s going to feel too soon yet again when we celebrate Cici’s bat mitzvah in just a few years too.

Jessica Adler did another incredible job helping Jenny and Charlie with Cam’s party. Just like his big bro, Cam is also a big basketball fan and goes to a lot of Nuggets games so they did a really cool green and blue colored basketball theme for the party. They turned the dance floor into a really cool basketball court with bleachers on both sides. And the invitations were really awesome because they fit the theme perfectly by having them look like an event ticket you would get when attending a basketball game. I also really loved that Cam wore the same suit jacket that Griff wore and they added his name and date to the custom embroidered collar. It was such a special day and I’m so proud of Cam and all that he accomplished with his bar mitzvah. He did such a great job leading the service and reading from the Torah!
