Candid Photographer

Amanda Kahnell

My full time job is teaching photography to high schoolers in Northern Virginia. I have been doing family photography for the past 11 years. I enjoy spending time with my family and our Irish Setter puppy. My formal art training is a bachelors in art from SUNY Potsdam in NYS and a Masters in Interdisciplinary Studies in Art from Virginia Commonwealth University.

With every click of my camera shutter, I strive to create images that not only showcase your family's bond but also serve as cherished memories for years to come. My goal is to freeze those fleeting candid moments so that you can relive them whenever you glance at your photographs.

So, if you're looking for a photographer who embraces the beautiful messiness of family life and knows how to capture its true essence, you're in the right place. Let's embark on this journey together and create timeless memories that will be treasured for generations.

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your family's story. I can't wait to meet you and capture the magic of your everyday moments.
