Serving Louisville, Lexington & Beyond (I love to travel, just ask!)

Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Amanda J Designs serves families, entrepreneurs, and professionals throughout Kentucky and surrounding areas with timeless, light-filled portrait photography designed to become part of your family’s legacy.

“My most treasured photographs with my family were captured by Amanda. Photographs are a way to hold on tight to fleeting moments in time and capture the finest of details; the sparkle in a child’s eyes, the freckles across their nose, the wisp of baby hair across a forehead (all the things you beg your brain to keep locked in your memory bank forever).

Amanda’s work is a step above; both elegant and timeless. She is a natural with a camera and a true artist in her ability to capture the most stunning evening glow and create art that so brilliantly showcases loved ones; work that goes far beyond the greetingcard- it belongs on the walls of your home.”
