Quotes

“If someone asks if you can do it, just say yes and go out there and do it. Start small in whatever your passion is and learn as you grow. Keep adding on.” - April Bielefeld

“You have to be uncomfortable to get the right poses and shots.” - April Bielefeld

“If you sell yourself a little bigger, it’s that perception and you’re gonna give it to them. It forces you to put yourself in those shoes and step up to the challenge and do it.”
