Red Caboose Photography

Southeastern Indiana's ONLY photographer offering Mermaid Sessions and a Couture Gown client closet

Hi, my name is April and I'm your photographer! I have been doing photography since 2009 but didn't make it official until 2012. I currently work for Whitewater Publications covering Brookville, Liberty, Rushville, Shelbyville, Oldenburg, Batesville, and Milan. I also work for the Connersville News-Examiner covering Connersville, Northeastern, and New Castle.

I am a 2009 graduate of Franklin County, IN and currently reside in Brookville, IN. In school I was in choir, drama club, color guard, FFA, 4H, and environmental club. I have a few cats, a dog, and horse. My daughter and I love going on adventures, and usually can be found outside. You've probably seen us at the local pool, as I've become the "mermaid den mother" and let some of the kids enjoy swimming in our tails.

Some fun facts about me would be that I was a steam and diesel locomotive engineer by the time I was 21. I have traveled to Maryland to work on a steam locomotive restoration project, Western Maryland C&O 1309. Along with being the first woman to work on that loco, I am one of a handful of women who have ran Whitewater Valley's Lima-Hamilton Engine 25. This engine used to be a switcher engine out of Cincinnati Union Terminal. There are only 4 Lima-Hamilton's left in the world and #25 is the only one left running.

A photography related fun fact is I have had the pleasure of working with Laura Kirkpatrick (Ciaciolo) in a studio session, who was featured on 2 seasons of the hit TV show, America's Next Top Model.

Some of my hobbies outside of photography include playing with horses, kayaking/swimming, railroading, traveling and fun adventures with my kiddo and bonus baby. We get to the zoo pretty frequently, along with the museum.

Red Caboose Photography is happily servicing the tri-state area! I travel all over the country to shoot sessions and cover events. Any shoot outside of my base location of Brookville, IN does come with a travel fee, which is based on mileage.

I would like to welcome you to my website and appreciate your continued support of a small business. Check out some candid shots below on some of our adventures!
