Hi there! Welcome to my site, thanks for dropping by! My name is April Martell, and I live in Monastery, Nova Scotia, which is located halfway between the Canso Causeway and the town of Antigonish.

If you're looking for a photographer who specializes in children, then you've come to the right place! If you take a peek at my photo sessions gallery, you'll see that there is no studio stuff, and no uncomfortable poses. Here, you'll only find natural smiles and natural play, and where better to play than outside?

Although candid photography is my favorite kind, I also enjoy many other types as well. If you've come in search of a photo to fill that space on your wall, you'll find that here too! Just check out one of my many galleries, you might be surprised at what you find! Something local to remind you of home? That's here. Lots of photos spanning from Halifax to Sydney and the places in between, just take a look!

Well, if you clicked on "About Me" to actually find out who I am, here's a quick run-down: I'm originally from Cape Breton, as is my husband. We moved here in 2007. I love animals and music. I hate exercise, but enjoy sports (figure that out). I think that dust adds character, and there is no better time to do the dishes than tomorrow. Who has time to dust when there are photos waiting to be taken?

Now that you know who I am, feel free to drop me a line! We can set up a photo session, or if you'd like, you can purchase a photo for your wall. You can contact me by email naturalplayphotography@gmail.com or you can give me a call at 902-232-2034.
