"There is such a small window of time when your child believes in magic and unicorns and fairies.  April does a wonderful job of capturing that magic in a photo of a lifetime that feels authentic and looks stunning. I am so thrilled with the quality."

-Lucie B.

 

 

"My favorite part of the session was seeing my daughters eyes light up each time April mentioned a fairy overhead.

When I saw the pictures, all I could think was 'I’m so grateful to April for capturing my daughter in this exact stage of her life, where her belief in fairies is so real and innocent.'

Thank you for creating a memory that she (and I) will never forget!"

-Shelly G.

 

 "April, You have captured my children's innocence, beauty, silliness, and most of all their love for one another in your portraits. Even when I walk away from a session drained from their lack of cooperation, you ALWAYS have the perfect picture! Your creativity never ceases to amaze me and will always keep me coming back for more. I thank you for making our family Christmas card the most anticipated year after year. Light Drawn Studios portraits are sprinkled throughout my house. I'm constantly stopping to admire them and remembering the day we took them. They are my favorite and I will treasure them always. XOXO"

"April was nothing short of amazing. I always stressed out during photos with my kids because they are young. April right away embraced my kids energy and told me I didn’t have to worry... She would take care of it! My husband and I were so happy when we saw the photos. April is not just a photographer. She is an artist!"

"What a fun day... my kids will remember the magic of these photos for many years to come. April and her team are warm, friendly, professional, and have a unique ability to capture each child's personality in what can only be described as effortless. Thank you Light Drawn Studios!"

- Michelle M.

 

 

"Having worked with April Graves of Light Drawn Studios for more than 10 years, mostly on charity projects, I can tell you she is of the highest caliber of professional photographers. She doesn't just take photographs; she creates artwork of your child that you'll treasure forever. Her portraiture is stunning. Professional in every manner, April is not only great with the kids, she consistently works to assist charities with her brilliant work. Her talent, skills, and work ethic are unmatched. She is the exclusive photographer on our rare, 1890  French Salon Carousel - The Eden Palais Carousel, at the prestigious Sanfilippo Foundation."

-Gregory L. 

 

 

"April has an incredible eye for capturing the type of portraits you are looking for. Her artistic expertise and mastery of the technical aspects of photography yielded spectacular results and I could not be more pleased. From her recommendation of locations (she knows all of Lake County!) and wardrobe, to the final sizing and framing of the portraits, everything was superb. Add her easy-going personality, which made even the most shy member of my family comfortable, and you can't help but be grateful that you chose to invest in capturing the essence now, to be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you!"
