HOW I WORK
I'm a low-key photographer. One camera, one 50mm lens.
I call it my love lens, because it captures everything with kindness.
I use natural light and seek out the most flattering angles. I'm a beauty hunter at heart.
No awkward or stiff posing here. I work with who you are right now.
A session with me feels like hanging out with a friend—we chat, we laugh, and somewhere in that ease, we create images that make you feel genuinely good about yourself.
Portrait sessions happen in my natural-light home studio in Waterloo, using textured paper backdrops that keep the focus on you. For branding shoots, I source locations that tell your story—or we work in your home or workspace, wherever you feel most you.
Because there's so much more to photography than a pretty picture.
Portraits should capture a spark of your essence. Branding imagery needs to convey trust and authenticity—especially now, in an age of AI where polished perfection with no soul is becoming the norm.
This is the art of capturing who you truly are. A beautiful, co-creative process.
Presence, not perfection.
I’m Amanda.
Your essence alchemist + beauty hunter.
