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!

Helen Hunt Falls and Garden of the Gods Family Photos

August 10, 2023

Family Photography at Helen Hunt Falls and Garden of the Gods

I am excited to share this session because this family and I met at a location I have never photographed at before (Helen Hunt Falls) in Colorado Springs. There isn’t much space to get a bunch of different angles and you’re not allowed to be in the water at the falls, but they still made for a pretty backdrop for a photo or two before we drove back down North Cheyenne Canyon Road to get over to all of the places I like to use in and around Garden of the Gods. Colorado Springs is such a beautiful place here in Colorado. Garden of the Gods has to be in my top 5 favorite locations to photograph families here in Colorado. Below are just a small handful of some of my favorites that we created for this cute family that evening.
