📍 Meet Keeno -
The Eye Behind the Lens
Thanks for visiting! My name is Keenan Guthrie, founder of Kandid Keeno. I’m a lifestyle and wedding photographer based in Clarksville and Nashville, TN, committed to capturing the moments that matter—honest, unfiltered, and full of soul.
My first official step into photography came unexpectedly during an intimate elopement shoot in Nashville. Even after that experience, I wrestled with doubt—wondering if I was really "a photographer." But in March 2023, that changed. I stopped playing small and decided to invest fully in this craft. Through strategic branding, consistency, and intention, I put my work out into the world—and that first year resulted in eight booked sessions and the opportunity to assist in two weddings.
2023 was a pivot. A proving ground. I spent countless nights deep in YouTube tutorials and self-taught sessions, driven by nothing but passion and hunger to grow. And today? I stand as a testament to what perseverance and purpose can produce.
But this journey isn’t just about me. As a father and Black man who's known loss, healing, and rebuilding—I shoot with legacy in mind. My mission is to lead my family by example and serve the next generation, especially young Black men, with honesty and strength.
Still, my lens is for everyone. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, committing your life to someone, or simply want to remember who you are right now—I’m here to capture that. Candidly. Authentically.
Let’s tell your story—Kandid Keeno style.
