About

Hey, you! I’m April ☺︎
Soulsearcher, Styleseeker, Bon vivant, Friend… and Photographer.

I love people.
And art, fashion, cinema, laughter, dancing, disco & seeing people happy!

HERE’S THE REAL TEA:

Born in NJ, raised in TX, headed west to Los Angeles, and back to TX…

My heart lies in the world of Hollywood filmmaking, acting, and voiceover acting. After a twenty-year career producing film & TV — MTV Networks, independent film, reality TV — I came back to my hometown of Granbury to take care of my mom.

With the homecoming, away from the 7-day work weeks with 18-hour workdays, came a respite that I didn’t know I needed. And a profound reminder to:

Catch meaningful moments. ✻

So for now, my storyteller soul is fed by portraiture baked with 100% truth of your identity, style & personality + a soupćon of heightened reality… like a Technicolor movie.

My hope for you, after a photo shoot with me or any photographer you choose, is that your portrait evokes something indelible inside you. And that, when you look at it 5, 20, or 50 years from now, your heart melts with wonderment at the person in that picture… lucky you, born into that beautiful body, face, and all that life experience… and you had a great time that day. ♥️

I’m currently based in central Texas — Granbury, Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, and surrounding areas. And I travel for destination shoots!

RANDO FACTS ABOUT MOI:

Born to a Filipino Mom & Texan Dad, lived in NJ until 7, then moved to Texas, then lived adult life in Los Angeles. Can you imagine the accent I could have ended up with? (I don’t have one, so I’m told. Maybe the motley accents canceled each other out 🤷🏻‍♀️😆)

I appreciate everyone I meet. Every creature has their role on this planet… with endless stories to tell.

My style sense: Edgy, modern, editorial, individualist.

My fave cities: NYC, London, Paris, the French countryside.
(I’m an anglophile, francophile, and cinephile.)

My favorite artists: Dalí, Magritte, Jeff Koons, Donald Judd, Sonia Delaunay, Franz Kline, Tamara Lempicka, James Turrell, Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, Stanley Donen…

Travel & exploration make my heart sing.

Studied Film/TV at University of Texas at Austin. LOVED everything about it.

While in college, I modeled, acted, production managed film projects & also taught dance at an Austin studio, which peut-etre est pourquoi j’adore collaborating with dancers & other artists!

Houseplants are one of my shameless obsessions.

Petfinder is my dating app.

I’m guardian to 3 little sweet rescue dogs (altho one is a part-time terrorist) + 1 cat (gothically stoic with resting b*tch face) + 1 mom (mine, I’m her caregiver), whom I collectively call The Farm.
