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!

Civic Center Park Senior Photography in Downtown Denver

September 17, 2025

Union Station and Civic Center Park Senior Photos

I’m super excited to share this senior’s photos on the journal today because he picked a spot I really love that hardly anyone ever chooses so it was a real treat to photograph him at his session last week. Zach is interested in history and politics so he chose to do his photos at Union Station and at Civic Center Park in downtown Denver. I found a cool new spot at Union Station that overlooks the trains and we walked around and hit up some of my other favorite locations near that part of downtown before heading on to get some with the historic architecture found at Civic Center Park. Civic Center Park is really an underrated place for photos and I think more of my clients should consider it for their photos because it has beautiful gardens during the warmer months and the Greek Amphitheater columns look awesome in photos too. Plus, I think the gold dome of the Colorado State Capitol building looks pretty awesome in pictures too. I loved so many of the photos that we created at Zach’s session that it was hard for me to only share the ones I picked out below!
