    "Our pictures turned out amazing, and I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for family photos. He was kind, patient, and produced work that was beyond expectations.

    Matt was recommended to me by a professional in the industry, so I knew we were in for a great experience. Scheduling and invoicing processes were super easy. I was initially nervous about how the shoot would work with our 5 month old, but Matt calmed any fears I had. He arrived promptly as scheduled, and got to work immediately. He has an amazing eye, and was able to capture photos in areas I thought would be far too dark. Matt was very accommodating with our grumpy infant, giving us the time and space we needed to get our little man to cooperate. This was our first experience with professional photography, and we couldn’t be more pleased. I am stunned at how fast he was able to get a full gallery to us.”

Do you help choose locations?
Absolutely. I have favorite spots I can recommend, or we can shoot somewhere special to you—even in your home.

What can we do during an in-home session?
Anything that feels like you. Think rainy-day activities: baking, games, fort-building. Something a little out of the ordinary often brings out the best energy.

What if my home isn’t perfect?
Perfect is overrated. We’ll focus on rooms with the best light and activities that matter to your family.

What if it rains?
If the forecast looks rough, we’ll make a weather call 12–24 hours ahead and reschedule if needed.

Totally. Just reach out for a custom quote for larger group sessions.

Your gallery will be ready within 5–7 days after the shoot.

What if I don’t see a session that fits my needs or budget?
