Arminta

I’m a co-parenting mother to my son Miles, with a heart to serve and a deep love for storytelling through photography, podcasting, and marketing. Holding a Master of Arts in Strategic Communications and Public Relations, I use my expertise to create meaningful connections—whether it’s through powerful visuals, authentic conversations, or compelling brand narratives. Born into an amazing blended family, and now raising my son in one of my own. My village is absolutely amazing, and my creative work allows me to capture and celebrate those moments of love, strength, and connection that make family life so meaningful.

Photography

My love for photography begin when I was just 12 years old. My father was always the one with a camera on family vacations and I soon became the one who always wanted to take photos. I started my company Impact Lens Media, formerly and more popularly known as Arminta McKinney Photography, in 2012 and I'm so grateful for those who've given me the honor of capturing some of their most precious memories.

Family Rewritten and I am Arminta

Family, Rewritten is the next chapter of AM Blended Families, expanding the conversation beyond traditional definitions of family to explore co-parenting, single parenthood, blended and chosen families, relationships, healing, and the many ways we create love and connection after life changes the original plan. Through honest conversations and real-life experiences, Family, Rewritten celebrates the idea that family doesn’t have to look one particular way to be whole, healthy, and filled with love.

I Am Arminta: Life, Motherhood, Business & Everything Between is a personal, unfiltered look at the many roles we carry and the lives we build along the way. From motherhood and co-parenting to entrepreneurship, friendship, dating, career, finances, personal growth, and simply figuring out how to balance it all, I Am Arminta creates space for conversations about the parts of life that don’t always fit neatly into one box. It’s about becoming, evolving, building a life that feels meaningful—and embracing everything that happens in between.
