kemptville Family & Elopement Photographer
about fablewood Photography
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a little obsessed with photography. As a kid, I was always begging my mom for another disposable camera, eager to document the world around me—though, back then, I was mostly photographing my cats. That early love for documenting life led me to earn a BFA from Concordia University, where I deepened my understanding of art and photography as a form of storytelling.
With an artist’s eye and a soft spot for connection, I document love in all its forms—the wind in your hair, the laughter between kisses, your child’s hand wrapped in yours. These are the moments that linger.
I’m most at home outdoors, where light and nature shape each story in the most quiet, beautiful ways. Whether I’m hiking to a lookout point, camping with my family, or chasing golden light through an open field, I’m always drawn to the stillness and simplicity of the beauty around me—and I bring that love into my work.
What matters most to me is that you feel comfortable, seen, and free to be yourselves. Whether you're whispering vows on a windswept mountain top or stealing a quiet moment together in the forest, I’ll be there to document the connection that brought you to this moment—with calm energy and an eye for the details that make your love story yours.
SO NICE TO MEET YOU! I'M AMANDA, ADVENTURE LOVER + VISUAL STORYTELLER.

I don’t just document your day — I craft images that feel like memories and look like art.

"When people look at my pictures, I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice." — Robert Frank
I didn’t grow up thinking I’d be a photographer—but looking back, it was always there. The thrill of picking up a newly developed roll of film, flipping through old family albums, begging my mom for just one more disposable camera. I’ve always been drawn to the way a single image can hold a whole feeling—how it freezes a moment you didn’t realize was already becoming a memory.
Years later, I followed that pull and studied fine art at Concordia University, earning my BFA and deepening my love for storytelling. I learned how to see not just with my eyes, but with intention—with curiosity, patience, and care.
These days, I live in a small town in Eastern Ontario with my husband and our little boy, who’s taught me more about love, chaos, and fleeting moments than I ever could’ve imagined. Becoming a parent shifted everything for me. It made me want to slow down, to notice more, and to help others do the same.
Fablewood Photography grew from that desire, to document connection in its most honest form. The quiet looks, the soft touches, the moments that don’t ask to be posed. Whether you’re exchanging vows under open skies or holding your baby close in the early light of morning, I’m here to witness it all—and give you something real to hold onto.

LOVED our mini session with Amanda! After booking a session super last minute she was super communicative, helped me along with my toddler and dog. Couldn’t have been made to feel more comfortable and at ease throughout the session. And the end result- WOW! I get compliments every time I show anyone the photos! So happy I booked!

"Can't thank Amanda enough for our beautiful engagement photos. We were both a little uncomfortable infront of the camera at first but she made us feel relaxed and talked us through the whole thing. She is incredibly kind and approachable and the photos speak for themselves!"

"I recently participated in the Motherhood Mini session at the tulip farm and what a FANTASTIC experience me and my family had. Amanda was friendly and easy to work with from the start! Although our time was short (Mini session) we still got SO MANY amazing, beautiful photos! It was a beautiful experience and made me feel so nice as a mom. Highly recommend!"
