April is a filmmaker based in Dallas, Texas, focused on authentic storytelling. She first picked up a camera in middle school and has been obsessed with creating films ever since. She loves experiencing new things and traveling to new places but never says no to a quiet night at home with her husband, Clint, her dog, Moose, and cat, Brutus. As a director and filmmaker, she has spent years honing her creative expertise as a visual storyteller. She produces all of her films with a keen awareness to the details of the story. April believes great storytellers are collectors of emotions, sounds, environments and moments. We all compose our own stories through small moments - moments that connect us to each other through the good, the difficult and a purpose greater than ourselves. She loves telling narratives that form the common human experience. aprilkirby.com @aprilkirby (insta , twitter)

I love photography, and it is what I do for $, but Flocc is the part of me that wants to do something that is fulfilling and helps others.

"My first glimpse of the power of storytelling was in 2000 on my first trip overseas to Bulawayo, Zimbabe. After this, I began a career in software & information systems management, but I could never get away from the joy of photography. I eventually started my photography company, doing a variety of work, including portraiture, weddings and events. In 2009, I began focusing on using photography to move an audience into a much bigger story through international travel & commercial engagements. Since then, I’ve travelled all over the world with companies big and small. Showcasing passion, craft, and personality has been my primary driver for working with clients and telling their stories. I love capturing and creating a company’s ethos & personality through photography." -Paul www.paulgoimages.com instagram.com/paulgoimages https://www.dallasbirthstories.com
