Family Pictures Dallas.jpeg

Hi, I’m April Barnes.  I’ve been a professional photographer since 2018. 

I love taking pictures.  I love documenting your precious moments. 

I love capturing the essence of subjects. 

I love being able to show your the world in my eyes.  

 

I specialize in photographing humans, animals, flowers, plants, trees, cool spaces, marketing and branding.  

 

I grew up in North Texas and have lived in many places for college and my previous career of Expatriate Management.  I’ve lived in East Dallas (the best Dallas) since 2012.  

 

Our family changed unexpectedly this summer after our beloved David (best friend, partner, dad, stepdad, son, the best hair stylist, amazing light and all his other magic) transitioned out of this Earth plane.  We’re still inspecting and going through all the things, while re-thinking, re-programming, re-visualizing, re-evaluating, re-etc ing everything.  

 

I am grateful I get to do what I love to support my family and help them create their dreams.  I connect through nature and photography.  Playing, music and laughing are healing, as well. 

 

One thing I’ve learned in the grief process is that pictures are extremely important.  They can take you back to a moment in time, where you knew exactly what was going on in your life and you remember so much more than just the still image.  It’s like a glimpse into someone’s soul.  And, the camera is my favorite tool to get to focus on the now.  

 

I’d really love to create some awesome pictures with you.  :)

If you have need for portraits, product, social media, marketing, headshots, events and/or your website, call me, let's talk!  We will discuss who, what, possible locations, looks, when, how, why and figure out what we can create.  We can also discuss what to wear and props. 
 

 

Reviews

​

- April is amazing.  She is patient and creative.  I loved my family pics so much, I used her for my wedding.  I had too many good pics to choose from... a good problem to have.  I promise, you won't be disappointed!   -Jean M.

​

- I highly recommend April.  She did headshots for my two young daughters recently.  It only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but she also provided a great experience for them - making them comfortable and getting their opinion on the shots she was taking.  You can't go wrong with April!   -Leah S.  

​

- I was so impressed with April's creativity and ability to capture the spirit and excitement of the occasion! It didn't feel like there was a photographer even there!  She was able to capture special moments with friends and family that were authentic and magical! - Shelly L.

​

- April is an amazing photographer with a natural, keen eye for detail.  I have used her professional services on a number of occasions for my business.  The results have been amazing for my marketing content! I admire her creativity behind the lens and her artistic coordinations and communication with the client is her strong point! -Carla P.

​

- April did an outstanding job capturing our beautiful moments for our engagement and also for our reception.  She has a naturally artistic eye.  She was gracious and communicative with all our family and friends.  We will definitely use April again for any of our small or large parties.  We highly recommend her!!! - Sally J.
