Matthew is a fantastic photographer that really took the time to shoot some professional headshots with some candid portraits for our family owned property management company. He was given the gist of what we needed captured and his creative energy filled in the rest.
Matthew is extremely genuine as I learned that he also donates his time to a senior organization photographing the aged population in creative ways to provide them with extremely cherished momentos.
Matthew is a fantastic photographer and provided above and beyond our expectations.

Matthew was so accommodating... and what I had asked of him was very last minute, and he made it happen! We were in need of headshots for business purposes... He traveled to me with all of his equipment, and I wouldn't say our office has the best space for photography, but he made it work and the photos came out great! He's so reasonable with his fees. I had used someone prior to Matthew, and he was a little over twice the expense, and we were not happy with that job. Now I know if I need more headshots done, I'm calling Matthew!

We loved Matt so much. He arrived on time and immediately started shooting away. He has an infectious smile that kept all of us comfortable and having a great time in front of the camera. We thoroughly enjoyed having him at our wedding and would recommend him to anyone.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When beginning a project with a customer, old or new, I like to sit down and listen to what they're hoping to capture. Everyone has a different vision and varying expectations, so it's important for me to understand what I need to do to make you glad you chose to work with me.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been taking photos since I was a kid, and I've worked hard to develop that passion into a professional set of skills. Beyond the practical lessons learned from thousands of jobs, I've taken courses over the years to expand my creative horizons. Approaching each project as an opportunity to learn something new, or refine a previously acquired skill, has also been a great teacher.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with a wide variety of clients: all the way from national beverage account executives down to close friends. If someone is interested in my style, I'm interested in working with them.
