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.

High School Senior Photography at end of Summer DBG

Denver Botanic Gardens Family and Senior Photoshoot

Today on the journal I get to share this gorgeous young lady’s senior photoshoot that we did with her parents at Denver Botanic Gardens. We did a bit of a hybrid session where we focused on doing her senior portraits but also mixed in some great photos with her parents too. It was Labor day weekend so it was fairly busy at the gardens that evening and still we managed to find so many amazingly gorgeous backdrops to use that it was no issue at all creating these portraits for them. I think it helped that we had a huge downpour right before we met which helped clear out some of the people who might otherwise have stayed a bit longer. Below are some of my personal favorites that we created together that night.

I still have room in my schedule for senior portraits. So if you’re a senior who still needs to get them done, please take a look at the SENIORS page of my website and reach out. I’d love to help!
