In 2002 I was a stay at home mom, was looking for a way to spend time with my son and nurture my love of photography at the same time. Amanda V. Photography was born out of this need for people I knew to be able to have beautiful photographs. I began to photograph friends and their families and soon, word of mouth had me taking unique photos of families, babies, children, and seniors. I shoot both natural light & studio lighting outdoors in a variety of rural and urban settings in Central Kentucky, though indoor location or studio sessions are available.
Twenty two years later, I have returned full time to my high school teaching career and gotten remarried, but still I maintain Amanda Cantrell Photography LLC as a creative outlet. The name has changed, but the amazing service has not. I offer a variety of location shoots and provides each client with personalized service that only can be attained by having your photographer be the whole company. It is my mission to partner with my clients to create an experience, not just a photography session. You will have a part in every step of the creative process and have beautiful quality portraits and products in return.
I specialize in High School Senior portraits and personal branding. Additionally, I do some volume work geared specifically toward Seniors with formal yearbook tuxedo & drape portraits.
Member of the Professional Photographers of America, award winning portrait photographer, Amanda Cantrell Photography LLC is also an active participant in community Senior activities & photographing candid photos at Scott County High School's graduation, making these images available to families, free of charge. I am also a proud multi year sponsor and photographer for the Finley 5K to help fund SIDS research. You can learn more about Finley's foundation here:
