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!

Christmas Family Photos with Wreath on the Aspens

December 23, 2022

Family Christmas Photography in an Aspen Tree Grove in Colorado

Today it is -6 degrees outside while I try to wrap up the remaining work I have to do before the end of the year. Looking at these photos I remember just how chilly and cold it was for this poor family for their Christmas family session. But, as today shows, it could always be worse! Haha, of course I would never go through with a session in these kinds of temperatures, but sometimes, when the forecast is saying mid 30s for days on end you just go for it and see what you can get. I was a little nervous because their daughter is only 5, but she was seriously the best little trooper ever. I am shocked by how many great photos we were able to get for them before we decided we needed to call it a night. I love that they brought their own Christmas wreath so that we could hang it on the aspen trees in this pretty mountain meadow on Squaw Pass Road. I also loved the bright blues and reds of their clothing. It really made for a pretty Christmas photo scene for their photos. Below are some of my favorites from their session. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!
