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!

Garden of the Gods Senior Pictures During Autumn

Fall Color Garden of the Gods Senior Pictures for Yearbook Photos in Colorado Springs

I absolutely love these Garden of the Gods senior pictures I’m sharing on the journal today. Fall is the busiest time of the year for most photographers, myself included. Colorado has awesome weather for the most part which means I’m still doing weddings this time of year while also getting a start on family holiday card photos. But mixed in with those are the seniors whose yearbook photos are due and they’re rushing to get them in before the deadline. Today on the blog is one of those seniors looking to get her Garden of the Gods senior pictures created for her yearbook photo. You can’t blame a senior for wanting to wait until the last minute because this is such a nice time of the year to get outdoor photos taken. The leaves are changing all across the state and make for some breathtaking scenery. One of the prettiest places in Colorado is the city of Colorado Springs. Garden of the Gods is nestled on the west side of the city and in my opinion the red rock formations at this park beat Denver’s Red Rocks, hands down;) (Except of course, if you are going to see a show, Red Rocks is not to be missed!)

Jessie,
I’m so glad we were able to get your senior photos done in time for your yearbook deadline:) Hope you have the best senior year a girl could ask for!
April

Hard not to pick this as a favorite though with the gorgeous view of Colorado’s beautiful blue mountains behind the stunning red rock formations at Garden of the Gods.

I love backlight so much I can’t tell if this one is my favorite or the last one.
