April Ranew Photography, Martinez

Like a superhero, April Ranew has the ability to freeze time. Her photos reflect an eye for moments and compositions that reveal her subjects' personalities, such as a couple embracing each other under an overturned kayak or an airborne groom clicking his heels while arm in arm with his bride. Many of April's shots also showcase her knack for setting, often incorporating scenic Georgia locations and the natural light of the sun or the glow worm that resides inside every camera.
