Beauty for the Everyday Woman
Because you deserve to see the woman the world already loves.

Hey friend—I’m April. Wife, mama, and International Award-Winning beauty and glam photographer, passionate about helping everyday women rediscover the extraordinary beauty within themselves.

You spend so much time showing up for everyone else. Whether you're juggling work, motherhood, relationships, or all of the above—it’s easy to lose sight of the woman you are at your core. But she’s still there. And I’m here to help you see her again.

This experience isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about celebrating who you are in this season: strong, soft, radiant, real. Through a personalized, high-end portrait experience, I create space for you to feel seen, pampered, and empowered. With expert styling, natural-yet-polished posing, and a heart-centered approach, you’ll walk away with more than just beautiful images—you’ll leave with confidence, joy, and a deeper connection to yourself.

This is your moment. Not five pounds from now. Not when life gets less busy. Now.

Let me show you the beauty that’s been there all along.

Bringing your vision to life. Together, we will plan a beautiful session that allows you to reconnect with yourself and let your true, authentic beauty shine through.

WHAT makes us DIFFERENT FROM the rest

At April Kroenke Photography, we believe beauty isn’t something you have to earn—it’s something you already have.

Our approach is rooted in over 18 years of experience and a deep passion for helping everyday women feel seen, celebrated, and confident in their own skin. This isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about creating an experience that honors who you are and reminds you of your worth.

Here’s what makes us different—and why our clients return again and again:

✨ A Heart for Women

We specialize in photographing women in all seasons of life—whether you're rediscovering yourself after motherhood, stepping into a new chapter, or simply craving a moment to feel radiant again. You're not just a client here—you’re cherished, hyped, and celebrated.

✨ Guided Every Step of the Way

No modeling experience? No problem. From styling and wardrobe tips to expert posing that flatters every body type, you’ll feel supported and confident from the very first moment.

✨ A Soulful, Boutique Experience

This isn’t a rushed, one-size-fits-all session. We take our time, get to know you, and create space for genuine emotion, connection, and joy to shine through. Every detail is intentional—because you’re worth it.

✨ Timeless, Transformational Portraits

You’ll walk away with more than stunning images. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the woman you are today—and images that remind you of that every time you see them.

This is beauty for the everyday woman—redefined.

And we can’t wait to welcome you in.

A Note from Me, Mama to Mama…

I’ve spent years making sure everyone else was in the photo.
The kids. The milestones. The smiles.
And if I’m being honest—most days, I was the one behind the camera. Tired. Pulled in a dozen directions. Not feeling “ready” to be seen.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
There is never a perfect time.
And yet… now is always the right time.

Because this version of me—the woman who’s grown through motherhood, who’s loved hard, sacrificed deeply, and still shows up every single day—she deserves to be remembered, too.

I want my children to have images of me as I am. Not just posed at holidays, but alive in my beauty, strength, softness, and joy. I want them to see that it’s okay to make space for yourself. That you can still love others and honor your own story.

So if you’ve been waiting… friend, stop.
Let’s capture you—fully, authentically, beautifully.
Because you are worthy of being seen right now.

With so much love,
April
