Spring is on its way! This is by far my favorite season of the year. The new life, mud, thunderstorms, gardening, my two boys out running and playing in nature, family hikes & campfires...before mosquito season hits! Just. The. Best. 

Because of the unpredictable spring weather, these will be indoors in my new studio! Our sweet studio is dubbed, Studio On Third: A Storytelling Collective* and I can't wait to have you! This means NO weather reschedules. Say what?! That's right, folks. 

If we've worked together before, these sessions will work just like previous mini events. I'll work to get as much variety as possible in the 15 minute time frame, and you'll receive your gallery within 2 weeks of the session date - all for $215! 

AND all sessions come with an entry to win a gift card to my new favorite store, GROW Geneva! You'll see some of their beautiful plants featured in this set - if you haven't been in yet, go go go!

*Some details to note: 

• There are stairs leading down to the studio so please keep this in mind when booking
• Pets are not allowed in the studio - so sorry! 
• This session is to celebrate motherhood which means these are limited to "Mommy & Me" - but grandmas and great grandmas are always welcome! If you'd like to include more of your family, I offer 30 minute petite as well as full sessions year round, and would love to discuss a separate session. 

Hey there! I'm April Duda. The mastermind behind this little business I call April Marie Photography. I started back in college with fine art and wildlife, and was soon asked to assist as a 2nd photographer at weddings and fell in love with documenting sweet moments between people! This spiraled into my business as it is now, over 10 years later, which has a focus on artistic and authentic photos documenting every season of life, even when it isn't the prettiest. 

Motherhood is as demanding as it is rewarding, and we don't always feel our best when we are beyond exhausted and our bodies have been through so much. But mamas, your children will thank you one day that they have photos that INCLUDE you. I promise <3
