Behind the lens

About April

Hi friend- I'm a photographer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. One of my true passions is capturing creative, authentic moments, freezing time, and giving people memories they'll cherish forever.

I'm truly a lover of all things creative. I love to create beautiful spaces in my home. I love to create art with watercolor, and love to create music, with my voice and my hands on the piano.

Aside from photography, I also teach piano to 25 amazing kids. I've been teaching for 25 years.

I have a wonderful husband, and two beautiful girls- Lottie (9) and Nellie (5), and a son in heaven - Houston (He'd be 13 this year).

But something you should know is that when you work with me, you're not just getting a photographer - you're getting a friend for life. I truly believe that in order for me to tell your story, I need to be more than a person who just shows up on the day. Relationships are very important to me. I can't wait to work with you, and gain a new friend.

I have lived in Utah my whole life, and consider myself very lucky that these magnificent mountains are in my backyard!

Nate and I are always striving to continue to build a beautiful life for us and our girls. I try to not take it all for granted. As a family, most the time you'll find us inside playing games, or watching movies. That's not to say we don't love a good adventure in the outdoors. Nate and I have experienced a lot of loss in this life. The hardest loss was our first child, Houston. Stillborn. Grief takes on a different face every day, but life has taught us that it is short, and none of us are promised another day. I thank God everyday for it.

My heart

behind my work

When I was little I used to get so frustrated with anything creative. I loved it, but I was a perfectionist. Any craft day with cousins, they'd be finished and be long gone playing, and I'd still be perfecting my creation. I ended up giving up on pretty much anything artistic or creative. I stuck with music. That was my way of channeling creativity. Until one day, Circuit City was going out of business, and I bought my first SLR camera. A whole world was opened up to me, and put me on a path that I am forever grateful for. As an adult I'm a little more patient with myself, and have loved learning and growing with this passion. More importantly, I am beyond grateful for the relationships, memories, and people I've met along the way.

If someone would have told me I'd be photographer back when I was a teenager, I wouldn't have believed them. Life has a way of surprising us.
