Senior Pictures

Thanks Steven ! Your pictures turned out great!



These were taken at a park in Mokena.The colors were awesome! I love getting to talk to the teens one on one.I love to hear their opinions and thoughts.They are getting ready to enter the next big phase of their life.So much to look forward to.







Senior picture season is just getting under way. I did Steven's this fall.These are so much cooler than the school photographer does. I try to capture who the kids really are.Most people don't know that you don't HAVE to use the school photographer.They do have to get their yearbook picture done by them but otherwise can go anywhere for the actual pictures.You definitely get more for your money when you use April Blair Photography.

Watching Them Grow

AC is an amazing tennis player.I asked her mom to bring some of her awards for the shoot and I know this was only a fraction of them. (I can brag since I'm not talking about my own kids.)
I recently did some senior pictures of AnneChristine - someone I've known since she was a toddler.When I was editing these-I was stunned.She has turned into this beautiful teenager right before my eyes. I can see a glimpse of the woman she will be.(If you are reading this AC- try not to be too embarrased.It's really true.)

Baby Love

I absolutely LOVE seeing new families!They are so into their new baby-they just glow."M" is going to grow up in a house full of love.Lucky girl.
There's nothing more precious than a 3 month old baby. They are so cuddley and innocent."M" was a dream to work with.

Meet The Wrecker Brothers. I did their publicity shots the other night. What a great group of guys. As some of you know-Chelsea & I sing with Rick (top right) in our church band.

My Fair Lady

This is a picture of one of my favorite women in the whole,wide world. Grandma BeeBee.She turned 85 on this day.She is who I want to be when I grow up. Classy,funny,loyal,beautiful inside and out. I could go on and on. I treasure each time we spend together. I think everyone should hug their Grandma today.
