Capturing Life's Authentic Moments
Real Life Moments from Newborns to Weddings
Hello there! I'm Amanda, of Amanda Kahnell Photography. I'm so thrilled to welcome you to my corner of the internet. I strive to do more than just take family photos; I aim to freeze those precious moments in time that truly encapsulate the essence of family connections, love, and happiness.
In a world where perfection often dominates, I find beauty in the messy and chaotic moments of motherhood and family life. I believe that true joy lies in the candid, unfiltered expressions, the spontaneous giggles, and the heartfelt embraces that happen when nobody is posing for the camera.
Using Northern Virginia as a backdrop, my approach to photography is deeply rooted in authenticity. I want to capture the real you, the genuine interactions, and the unscripted emotions that make your family unique. Whether it's the playful chaos of kids running around the house, the tender moments shared between parents and their little ones, or the laughter-filled gatherings with extended family, I'm here to document it all.
Will travel for weddings and elopements along The East Coast from Northern Virginia to the Adirondack Region of New York.
