About Me

"It is one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are"

The Story of a Photographer


Hey Everybody,


Im Amanda; Owner & Photographer here at CEP. I originally went to college for my Veterinary Technology degree, but while in college discovered I truly enjoy capturing peoples emotion and giving them a paused moment in time within a photograph. I started as a hobby photographer and later began CEP in 2021. Since then I have been able to meet so many incredible people through my work and the possibilities just became endless! They say "If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life" but I disagree, because over the years I have come to realize that if you love what you do.. You work harder, you become passionate about your work and those involved - Now that's something I can get behind! I absolutely love portrait photography and being able to provide all my clients with something different, giving them all a individualized look through their photos.

When I'm not busy photographing a breed show or clients portraits you'll either find me at the motocross track photographing or working with elementary children. I am a workaholic and love to being working most days of the week but in all seriousness I enjoy my down time just as much. I am 100% an outdoor nature girl and enjoy all that comes with it . Im adventurous with a slight need for a good adrenaline rush, I can never say no to a good concert or a vacation away.. and you'll never see me go without my coffee !
