hi there!

I’m April Headley and I am so glad you are here!

I am a photographer, make-up artist, and mamma to three busy  teenage boys here in sunny Sarasota, Florida, home of the most beautiful beach, Siesta Key.  When I am not photographing for clients, I enjoy spending time with my kids, my parents and my sisters and their families. My favorite things are snuggling with my sweet dog Shelby and cheering for my boys at basketball and volleyball games!   

 

 â€‹ I love the Lord, my family, and I have a passion to love on people.  My passion is to help others look and feel better about themselves so I can see them shine their brightest!  Creativity drives me and I love to live outside of the box! 

I began my career in the photography industry on the other side of the camera – as I tell my children a long, long time ago and a dress size far, far away.  As a model and make-up artist I have worked with many different photographers and now apply that experience as a photographer myself.  Nothing is more satisfying than when I can turn the “I hate the way I look in photos” client into a “wow, I look great in these” client!  By working in the industry for over 20 years I have an advantage on how to photograph the image conscious by using angles and purposeful posing to fool the camera’s eye.  I believe your images should look like the best you, not a completely plastic version of you.  To achieve my style I like my clients to look natural and not posed, for the images to evoke emotion and look like real life.  I put my true heart into my work and am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to your session and image edits because I know I am helping you create an heirloom memory that will be viewed and treasured for years to come!

       Other fun facts:

  • I love my church family and our worship

  • I love Dolphins and Sea Turtles

  • I have 3 younger Sisters that are my best friends

  • I love my Mom and Dad and talk to them almost daily!

  • I enjoy dancing for hours but don't ask me to run!

  • I love being the cheering Momma at Basketball games

  • Love al Fresco dining (when it's not hot out)
