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!

September Senior Photos at Denver Botanic Gardens

September 18, 2021

Denver Senior Yearbook Portraits at Denver Botanic Gardens

Earlier in my career I used to photograph newborn babies, but as time went on, I realized it just was not the type of photography that truly made me happy so I took it off of my offerings and started referring those out. I found Raelene Kerner through an online facebook group we’re both a part of and loved her warm, dreamy, newborn photos. Since then I tell all of my clients who ask me about newborn photos to talk to her and she’s even photographed newborns for family and friends of mine so that I didn’t have to (and they are better off for it!). 

Her daughter, Kaye, is a senior now and they got in touch with me because they wanted to have the full experience of going and getting senior photos done even though her mom could totally rock it for her. I mention all of this to say that Kaye would have rocked it with any photographer though I’m super glad I got to be the one to do this with them. Kaye was such a natural in front of the camera. We wandered around Denver Botanic Gardens for a couple of hours and created all of these magical photos together. Due to wildfire haze, the light was extra warm and it looked gorgeous in front of one of my favorite areas with the Japanese circle gate. We photographed all the way until the light was so gone we couldn’t really see the gardens in the photos anymore so we ended it. Kaye, you did amazing and you have incredible stamina. I think you’ll find that it was worth spending so much time though once you see all of the photos. Denver Botanic Gardens is a magical place!
