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.
Photography has always been the constant throughout my career, but my path to it hasn’t been entirely traditional. Before running my business full-time, I worked in marketing, communications, brand management and creative production, and those experiences have shaped the way I approach projects, collaborate with clients and think about the role photography plays within a bigger picture.
