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.

AM Blended Families

When my ex-husband and I decided to divorce, it was our number one priority to make sure that our son always felt our love and that his life never felt the effects of our decision. Through this experience, I discovered how "different" we were in how we are raising him together, and I wanted to challenge other families out there to be "different" like we are (if possible. Everyones situations are not all a like). This is how I birthed AM Blended Families. I wanted our family to be an inspiration to others and to help anyone that we possibly could.
