About Amanda

I focus primarily on portrait, lifestyle, brand and commercial work, and am especially drawn to projects that highlight people, small businesses and meaningful stories.

I am Ottawa-based, travelling frequently to Northern Ontario (Sudbury, Manitoulin Island), Toronto, and Collingwood.

Before running my business full-time, I began my professional career in marketing, communications, brand management and creative production. Those experiences have shaped the way I approach projects, collaborate with clients and think about the role photography plays within a bigger picture.
