Jack | 15 Days New

Newborn Portraits in Jacksonville, Florida Handsome Jack Hudson came to visit me in mid-December. Mom’s one request was that we get an image she can use for a combination birth announcement and holiday card. After driving almost an hour to get to me, Jack had a snack and then we got busy. He was a...

Jackson | Newborn Lifestyle Session | Jacksonville, FL

I love when my clients request a lifestyle session of any type, especially a lifestyle newborn session. There is something so comforting about being in your own space, and just being, well, you. This sweet new family of 3 invited me to their home to welcome Jackson to the world. Watching, and capturing, new parents...

Welcoming Stella | Jacksonville Fresh 48 Session

I had only spoken with Stella’s mom over the phone, but she was so open and welcoming, and most-importantly, excited to have the opportunity for a Fresh 48 session. It was a last-minute decision, and while she already had a newborn photographer lined up, they didn’t offer this service. Sweet Stella was actually born on my anniversary,...

Allow me to introduce myself (or reintroduce myself to those that have been here for a while). I’m April and I am a portrait photographer based out of Jacksonville, FL. I primarily shoot out of my home studio, which has been really difficult since covid hit and my husband now also works from home full time. A super random but very obvious fact about me is that I am a native Floridian born and raised here in Jacksonville - well, technically Orange Park! Now that you know more about me, I’d love to learn more about you! Comment below with a random fact about yourself!

"Thank you so much, April Peebles! You were FIRST-CLASS from start to finish! I greatly appreciate your help with choosing the location of our shoot, outfits, poses, colors for our album, etc. and for being so flexible with scheduling. We have a large family and I wasn't sure how this would go, but you were able to get the most beautiful shots of each one of us. These pictures will be with us forever and I can't thank you enough for capturing these memories. You're the best!" ~CM

Wherever you are, make a quick list (on your phone, on a napkin or old receipt) of one thing you’ve perceived with each of your five senses today that you’re thankful for! I’m currently in my family room loving the smell of my Sweater Weather candle from Bath and Body Works, the sight of a beautiful bright sky, and the sound of laundry washing. This morning, I was so grateful for my delicious chicken minis (though I wish I had this apple pie around) and the feel of 78 degree weather allowing me to wear sandals today. What’s on your list, friend?

Shall we get a little vulnerable today? I say, why not?! I’m a recovering perfectionist. I have struggled to show myself the same grace I show others when they make mistakes, but am working every day to turn things around. Lately, I really remind myself to be perfectly imperfect. It's become my new mantra! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What struggles are you facing right now and how are you fighting it?
