I managed to get time to finally sit and really update the portfolio. Many Image sets 
are now clickable with, if not all, most of the photos. 
I have also added the current specials and discounts section. Check that every so often 
to get free shoots or save some money.

About Diamond & Lace CC

At Diamond & Lace CC, the focus has always been on creating a meaningful and enjoyable client experience. Founded with the intention of capturing genuine moments rather than staged or impersonal images, the business has proudly served the community for five successful years. Every session is designed to produce images that are engaging, authentic, and timeless.

Diamond & Lace CC offers competitive pricing while providing full image galleries at no additional cost, a value rarely found among local photographers. While a signature editing style is available, clients are given the option to select the editing approach that best fits their vision. All photography packages also include complimentary black-and-white copies.

About the Photographer

My name is April, and I am a professional photographer, wife, mother, and pet owner. These roles strongly influence my approach to photography and client interaction. I come from a military family, and my son currently serves as an active-duty Recon Non-Commissioned Officer in the United States Marine Corps. In appreciation of those who serve, all veterans and active-duty military members are offered a complimentary 15-minute photoshoot with full image delivery.

As a mother of two daughters and an adult son, I am experienced in working with children of all ages. I prioritize creating a comfortable environment by allowing children to engage at their own pace, ensuring natural expressions and positive experiences throughout each session.

In addition to working with families, I am highly experienced with animals. My household includes dogs, cats, small animals, and reptiles, allowing me to confidently photograph pets of varying sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I welcome all dog breeds and work especially well with animals that require patience and understanding.
(View exceptions here.)

Understanding that not all clients feel immediately comfortable in front of the camera, I take care to guide and encourage everyone involved, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience for individuals, couples, and families alike.

Community Involvement

Diamond & Lace CC is the founder of Creative Pathways, a free, volunteer-led empowerment program that uses model photography to help participants build confidence and self-expression. The program is supported by generousvolunteers and clothing donations from the local community.

Commitment to Authenticity

All photography produced by Diamond & Lace CC is entirely authentic. No artificial intelligence is used in the creation of images, and all effects—such as on-site smoke elements—are executed in real time to ensure genuine results.
