Capturing the Heart of Your Family — Furry Friends Included

There’s nothing quite like the love, laughter, and connection of family — and that includes your pets. At April Barnes Photography, I specialize in capturing the authentic, joy-filled moments that make your family unique. Whether it’s a playful afternoon at White Rock Lake, a cozy session in your backyard, or a golden-hour portrait with your beloved dog, my goal is to create timeless images that tell your story with heart and personality.

As a Dallas family and pet photographer, I believe your session should feel relaxed, natural, and fun. You won’t find stiff poses or forced smiles here — just real emotions, genuine interactions, and a photography experience that feels effortless.

Why Choose April Barnes Photography

Personalized Experience

Every family is different, which is why I take the time to get to know you — your style, personalities, and what makes your relationships special. From helping you choose outfits and locations to guiding you through poses that feel authentic, I make sure your photos reflect who you truly are.

Pet-Friendly Photography

As a lifelong animal lover, I know that pets are part of the family. Whether your dog joins the family photo session or you’re booking a dedicated pet photography session, I’ll capture their spirit, playfulness, and love in a way that feels natural and true to their personality.

Capture Memories That Last a Lifetime

Family photography is about more than just pictures — it’s about preserving memories you’ll cherish for years to come. Whether your kids are growing up fast, your pet is your best friend, or you simply want to celebrate your family’s love, I’ll help you create images that feel alive and full of emotion.

My clients often tell me that their favorite photos aren’t the posed ones — they’re the ones where everyone is laughing, playing, or simply being themselves. That’s where the real magic happens.
