April Manning Photography

April Manning Photography Award winning teen and senior photographer for the Lexington KY area. One year later, I launched my own photography business.

After a whirlwind three years of living overseas, we settled back to the farm in my beautiful hometown of Mount Sterling KY. What a wonderful journey that has been! One of the most important life lessons learned in my years away is to "Capture Moments, Not Things". Let me capture your special moments. I offer affordable options that everyone can afford.

Senior year deserves more than photos—it deserves to be remembered.

From the dreamy wildflowers to the golden summer light, every image from this session feels like a page from her story. Soft, timeless, and every bit as beautiful as she is. 💙 So proud to have you kick off my Class of 2027 senior season today and tell your gorgeous story ★brianna seals★

Another beautiful face from our Bloom & Blue team photoshoot. 🌾✨

The flowers were originally the star of the set… until the sky stole the show. That golden light lasted only a few minutes, so we dropped everything, ran into the field, and captured the kind of glow photographers dream about.

You never waste a golden hour like this. Ever. ☀️💛

Class of 2027 — only a small handful of summer dates remain. Let’s make some magic before summer slips away. Two July dates are waiting on YOU💛

The Bloom & Blue photoshoot was all planned out… until the sky started showing off💛

The second I saw that sun hanging low and pouring gold across the field, the flowers got tossed aside and these girls got moved immediately.

Because here’s the thing…props can wait. A perfect golden hour glow can’t.
And when Mother Nature hands you light like this, you don’t think twice. You run to the field and make magic📸☀️

Just when I thought this Class of 2026 session couldn’t get any better, Abby flipped out that fabulous hair color and gave us an entirely new look for the final shots. 🔥

Safe to say we saved some magic for the end.
