Amanda Swain Photography Capturing the moments, memories, and meaning life leaves behind—through the detective lens, the camera lens, and the eyes that learned to see differently.

Preserving the stories, sacrifice, and legacy that connect generations. Hi, I’m Amanda — photographer, detective, and writer behind Through My Lens https://lensofamandaswain.substack.com/

What began as photography became storytelling. Through images and words, I document the beauty, grit, faith, healing, and becoming found in real life. My background in law enforcement has given me a deep respect for people’s stories — especially the moments that often go unseen. Whether I’m behind the camera or behind the keyboard, my goal is the same: to capture what’s real and create something people can feel.

Always an honor to share my knowledge and passion with those eager to learn! A special thank you to my hubby, kids and coworkers for graciously ‘donating’ DNA 😅 cause sometimes the best way to learn is to get your hands dirty.

Every photographer needs a crew. 📸

There was NO way I could be the sister, bridesmaid, photographer, videographer AND somehow stand in three places at once.

So my people stepped in. My daughter and her fiancé, my son, my grandson, and one of my closest friends—who was still recovering from surgery— grabbed cameras and helped me catch the moments and angles I couldn’t.

And my son had another pretty special job that day—walking my sister down the aisle in place of the grandfather he never got the chance to meet. 🥹🤍

Some of their amazing shots even included me, which is pretty rare when I’m behind the lens.

Thank you to my little camera crew. I couldn’t have captured the whole story without you🤗

Came for a wedding.
Stayed for the Jeeps👋🏽

Just about everything possible into one week..

And considering she barely made it home from the LAST beach trip… being there felt like a victory all by itself.

Sunshine, salt air, Jeeps, and one heck of a week. ✌🏽🌊
