Hi! I'm April and I'm an Artist fueled by coffee and beautiful light. I'm a photographer/graphic designer by day and painter/photographer in my free time. I'm so lucky that I get to do what I love for a living!

I've been playing with cameras since I was in high school, but it wasn't until I begun painting that really inspired me to take photography seriously. I started out purchasing books with photos of flowers or landscapes to paint, and as you can imagine, it got a little pricey. Someone suggested that I take photos and use those as inspiration/reference when I paint. BRILLIANT! And so my love affair with photography was born! It's been 15+ years, and I haven't looked back!

I hope to be able to share my vision and passion with you!
