We were lucky to catch up with April Pinto recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, April thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?

Back when I was a little munchkin, my great grandma was going through this memory maze with Alzheimer’s, not recognizing a soul. But my grandpa, being the absolute sweetheart he is, busted out these nostalgic photo albums. He’d turn the pages, and in those split seconds, it was like my great grandma caught a glimpse of her past.

Those moments hit me right in the feels, making me see photos as more than just pics. They’re like magic windows into memories. Watching my great grandma ride that memory wave, even if just for a hot sec, totally stuck with me. It’s like a deep reminder that photos? They’re like heartstring tuggers, connecting us to the precious stories that shape us.

You know, when I’m soaking up nature vibes, that’s when I feel like I’m getting the ultimate God connection. And then, throw in the tight bond with my fam – it’s like a heart-hug, you know? Being a photographer just clicked for me because it’s the perfect mashup of those two magic ingredients. It’s like capturing a slice of God’s art while weaving in the love and connections that make life sparkle. 🌿📷✨

April, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Oh, goodness, let me spill it – my career isn’t just a job; it’s my passion, my heartbeat! God hooked me up with this incredible gift to vibe with people on a soul level. I’m all about that deep connection, soaking up the love in family bonds, and capturing the pure magic of marriage.

Timelines? Crucial. Vendor referrals? Got ’em. I’m there from the first meet, sketching out timelines and wardrobe vibes. And as my brides blossom into moms, we keep the love flowing with our sweet, artful lifestyle portrait studio.
