Amber Collins

Lifestyle & Portrait Photographer

 

My journey into photography began while studying broadcasting and electronic media at Eastern Kentucky University, where I also minored in journalism. During an internship at The State Journal, I gained hands-on experience photographing local events, gathering stories, and capturing the little candid moments that often speak louder than words. That’s where I realized how powerful photography can be in telling someone’s story.


I’ve always had a love for art and creativity, which later grew into a passion for graphic design—especially creating engaging social media content. Combining photography with design felt like a natural fit, and it’s what inspired me to start growing my own photography business.


My goal is to continue building my portfolio, help local families and businesses showcase their stories beautifully, and eventually grow this passion into a full-time career. Whether I’m photographing people, pets, or small business details, I want every client to walk away with images that feel true, meaningful, and lasting.

 

 

“The world moves fast, changing everything around us with each new day. Photography is a gift that can keep us in a moment forever, blissfully eternal."

Behind the Brand

candid, inclusive, and authentic moments are what make for the best photos.

99 & Me Design is built on a simple, but powerful idea: everyone deserves to feel chosen and loved. Inspired by the parable of the lost sheep, our name reminds us that even one—the one who feels overlooked or forgotten—matters deeply.


This belief has shaped everything I do. From rescuing animals to capturing family moments, my goal is to highlight the people, pets, and stories that deserve to be celebrated and remembered. Every photo I take is intentional, rooted in care, and focused on the moments you choose to treasure for a lifetime.


At 99 & Me, we believe that being chosen isn’t just a gift—it’s a story worth capturing.
