Softcover book of color photographs with fairy-lore text. That is, images are actual unmanipulated photographs but the text relates these to fairies. I am confident it is a book of photographs as well as relating at least some of the photographs to fairies. Other recollections are softer.
This reminded me of The Fairies https://www.amazon.com/Fairies-Photographic-Evidence-Existence-Another/dp/0060282347 but these photos are staged/manipulated. I think I recall that some of the pictures in here are just of woodland scenes, though.
I found the book, it is Ellen Fenlon’s _Fairy Church in the Woods_. It was easy to find once I changed my search to ‘woods’ rather than ‘forest’.
