Hi, I’m April Velazquez.

I’m a Mama, thrifter, novel reader, lover of dark humor, and secretly funny (or so I’ve been told).

I want your photos to feel authentically you. Your version of romantic, playful, or connected is yours alone—and that’s what makes it perfect. Whether it’s your engagement, wedding, maternity, or family session, I’ll deliver genuine, unposed memories that capture your unique connection.

Based in Hollister, California, I’m always up for an adventure! When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me homeschooling (loosely) my two daughters and embracing my role as a self-described “scrunchy mom.”

I’ve been called a quiet observer with a quick wit, and that perspective allows me to see the magic in the everyday. Whether it’s a couple holding hands, a family laughing on the couch, or the quiet moments on a wedding day, I’m here to preserve those feelings for you—authentic and unforgettable.
