About Amanda
My favourite role is creating a great experience for my clients and subjects during all parts of the photography process, fostering a great sense of alignment and collaboration. To me, this is the recipe for creating purposeful imagery that makes a splash.
I focus mainly on portrait, lifestyle, brand and commercial work, and am personally passionate about empowering women, highlighting small business stories, and capturing unique experiences with people from all walks of life.
I am Ottawa-based, travelling frequently to Northern Ontario (Sudbury, Manitoulin Island), Toronto, and Collingwood.
A background in public relations, communications and corporate production. Former wedding photographer. Adorer of great shoot set-energy and cottage weekends. Sudbury-born, spent my 20s in Toronto, and Ottawa is now called home.
