What's up with April?


april has been pretty busy lately. she's going to school full time and doing some independent artsy work. we all know that she has many talents. she's a solid photographer, a very good illustrator, a primo etch-a-sketcher, and a street-chalk artisan. Now added to the long list of talents is...
makeup artist.
april recently conned, er um, talked rain into doing a fun little session where april had full creative control. for all you perspective brides, students, photographers, and everday women looking to stand out from the crowd, april is available and accepting appointments. you too could look like krusty the clown for your important event. give her a call today. appointments are booking fast. :)




all kidding aside...call her today. appointments are booking fast. :)




seriously, call now. lines are open. hey hey!




hmm. why isn't the phone ringing? someone call just to make sure it's working. i'll wait.







here's another session she did with her uncle glenn. she did her best to make him look cool. i think she missed her mark on this one. :)
















i kid. i kid. we love the fact that april is trying stuff on her own. what kind of parents would we be if we weren't discouraging her from chasing her dreams? i mean, were discouraging her. that's a pretty crucial conjunction.
good yob aboo.

    Those shots with your uncle are totally awesome!!! What an awesome model him and Rain! I totally love the way these all look. My favorite is the shots in front of that blue door and the one with the old camera looking up. Very cool.
