Real Moments You’ll Cherish Forever

Documentary Photographer located in Warrenton

Families are constantly evolving—children grow, moments change, and time moves too quickly. At Amanda Kahnell Photography, I believe in documenting your family’s story in an authentic, documentary-style approach. Whether it’s a quiet moment at home or an adventure outdoors, I capture the raw, beautiful moments that tell the true essence of your family’s love and connection.

"I often think back on my childhood—the everyday moments and the big milestones. My memories come to life through the photos my family took, and now, they’re absolute treasures. Those images bring me right back to the love, the connection, the little details that made our life ours. That’s why I’m so passionate about documenting all seasons of life—the quiet, ordinary days and the big, unforgettable ones—because every moment is worth remembering."

Some of this page is still in progress…. I’m waiting for photos of my own childhood from my mom. She can’t find them. It seals the deal as to why documenting your life is so important!

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
