Introduction: Hello and welcome! As a professional photographer for over a decade with a background in fine art and printing before that, I’ve emerged with a strong sense of composition and color. My love for environmental portraiture is informed by my experiences photographing events, weddings, on the street, as well as live music performance. I have developed a passion for improvising with light and color, to create striking, beautiful and memorable photographs of people in any situation. This range of experience has also proven especially essential in helping me better serve the specific needs of clients whose goals are not easily described by Thumbtack’s request template.

We were initially quite anxious about getting a photographer for pre-wedding photos since we are awkward people especially in front of a camera. But April made the photoshoot such a fun experience. She was so easy to work with - her professionalism and personality. We got the photos days after and we just loved them! She captured the right moments, the colours are amazing, they look so natural, and we did not look awkward nor cold at all! We're not the type who puts photos around the house. But after seeing her work, we're already looking forward to going back to Sydney to hang the photos she took around the house! Will definitely look her up when we go back to New Orleans and New York (she's also based here)!

April Renae Photography's reply

Gaj and Michelle, thank you so much for the kind words. It was an absolute joy photographing the two of you during your visit to New Orleans. And, you were both amazing to withstand those low temperatures and even a bout of rain! It makes me so happy to hear that these photos have inspired you to have prints made for your home in Sydney. Please do look me up next time you're in either New Orleans or Brooklyn. I'd love to grab a coffee with you two again, no matter the weather :-).

She was very attentive and gracious to our guests. I am very pleased with the quality of the photos she's taken. Prior to the event, her responsiveness was timely and precise, addressing every question and concerns I had. I highly recommend her professional services and would not hesitate contacting her again in the future.

April took photos for my 31st birthday in New Orleans. She was extremely accommodating and open to my ideas. April made me feel comfortable worked well with my fluctuating schedule. I found some murals throughout the city at the last minute and April had no problem going with my change of plans. April communicates very well and I would definitely recommend her to others for their photography needs.

My girlfriend and I hired April to be our photographer during our recent trip to New Orleans in May 2018. We were celebrating our one-year anniversary and wanted to book a photo shoot to mark the occasion. And we couldn't be happier! April was simply amazing! She is very approachable and personable, and was a true professional who made our experience both fun and comfortable. Her attentiveness to capturing the photos was outstanding. What was more impressive was her ability to scout specific locations before the shoot...it definitely demonstrated her commitment to ensuring that we had a memorable experience. Our anniversary was extra special due to the awesome photo shoot. It was a pleasure to work with April and I would recommend her for any type of photography project. She is the best!

Talking through projects to get a good idea about what the customer wants typically works best, but I am flexible and can work via message/email if a phone call isn’t possible.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and have a BFA in Photography.
