TRAVIS + APRIL

makers. photographers. storytellers. lovers. Jesus-followers. not perfect. wanderers. a wakeboarder. a baker. a son. a daughter. a father and mother. pet-parents. coffee drinkers. vietnamese food eaters. a bbq crafter. teachers. learners. denim wearers. country-dwellers. small town kids. midwesterners. second and third attempters. outdoor-types. dreamers. doers.

we love people.

we want to document your love story and your deepest emotion; the internal thoughts, feelings and outward expressions that bind you together as one. we are easygoing, honest, real, and our clients are like us. they care deeply but are carefree in a way that gives us the right to be our best and do what we're gifted at in our own way. we truly love photographing love and are blessed to have this opportunity.

YOU + US

we photograph in the moment and on location because it's real but also in front of a carefully chosen natural backdrop to make it stunning fine art. we document that sideways look and the brush of his lips on your forehead, the pressure of intertwined fingers. we frame and focus on the beauty and details that we see there. we see the best. our clients are like us. we enjoy this moment in time with them and they enjoy us.

please note that while this sounds great we’re not for everyone. look through our photographs, browse our stories, really observe what we create to see if we are what you’re looking for. an extravagant dress and all that glitters is not really our style--we want to take the road less traveled and that dress might not make it. we believe that there is a photographer out there for everyone and we want you to find the one that makes you happy!
