“My journey started in the backyard with a Brownie, grew from hobby, to enthusiast, to the opening of my own photography business. Feeling most at home behind my camera, I know this journey to be a gift…a gift that feeds my soul every step of the way…a gift I embrace, cultivate, and share. Each of my photos tell a story, because within me a story is stirred. Stories of back road wanderings, celebrations, and people who cross my path. To everyone who steps in front of my lens, invites me into their life, and trusts me with their stories. Thank you.”
Cheryl Rankin Van Stockum
Cheryl is a regular contributor to The Sentinel News and is Chief Photographer for Shelby County Life Magazine. Her photos hang on the walls of Shelby KY Tourism Commission & Visitors Bureau, the Masonic Homes of Kentucky, and The Shelby County Community Theatre. Her images can also be seen on her signature line of prints and stationary. She is available to photograph family and individual portraits, weddings, events, and stock photos for business and industry.
A retired RN, Cheryl lived, learned, and raised her sons in Louisville. Moving to Shelby County in 2007, she quickly became immersed in the community she calls her “new home town”. She lives with her husband Reggie on the family farm where they sip tea on the front porch, and watch the sun set over the fields. She is ever grateful for the people in her life who call her wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt, in law, cousin, friend, and Grandma Cheryl.
