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!

Knoll Willows Open Space Senior Photos in Estes Park

July 29, 2023

Estes Park HIgh School Senior Photos at the Knoll-Willows Open Space

I had the chance to meet up with this senior and his mom when they flew into Colorado for a short trip to check out the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. He is a big movie buff and loves The Shining so it was a great place for them to stay since the hotel in Stephen King’s book was inspired by the Stanley Hotel after he stayed there back in the 70s. And I had the perfect location in mind for them once I found out that he was a fan of The Shining. The Knoll-Willows Open Space is this gorgeous little hill just across the street from the Stanley Hotel with a ton of wildflowers, trees, and mountain views as well as a great view of the hotel from a distance. This is where we created the photos below.
