S
ince discovering art as an outlet in high school, I’ve wanted to take a bite out of every artistic medium possible.
That was until I discovered photography, about 3 years ago. I’ve come to love creating portraiture that provides others with a sense of beauty they may not have otherwise appreciated. Seeing the world differently through the lens is what truly drives me to be a better artist. Originally from a small town, I’ve recently planted my feet in a “big” city. I’m truly inspired by creating connections with others. Working in the field of photography offers the chance to meet people from many walks of life. Having an impact on my subjects drives me to create wholeheartedly. Getting the opportunity to capture images that hold beauty is the driving force of my photography business. I chose the name Xpressions by April solely to show my own artistic expression.
