About
I am always thinking outside the box to give each customer an original, unique set of images that shows the very best of the client's business or personality that is cutting edge to the times and photography of today.
I enjoy meeting new people and working with them to come up with the best game plan to benefit them the most. The true joy is presenting them with my work and seeing them light up with appreciation for all the hard work I put into their project and knowing that it is one of a kind.

We were so impressed with Matt’s work and reasonable prices. He came to our home out in the country and found the best place on the property to take pictures.
We had a large group of family with kids and adults and he got great pictures of everyone.

Incredible work! Needed a photographer for proposal (which my now fiancé had no idea was happening) Matthew’s work was excellent. Literally the most perfect shot of when she realized what was happening. We both loved the photos he took, especially capturing the emotions and expressions. Had some posed engagement photos afterwards, and again, nothing but excellence. Overall very grateful that we had such a good photographer for such an important moment.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard pricing is based on the client's budget and the length of time I feel I will need to get the job done and provide the client with great customer service as well as images that are above and beyond what they expected.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meet with the client in person or on the phone and discuss in detail what type of images they are looking for. Let them know what ideas I have and together we come up with something creative, professional and unique to that specific client or business.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Worked with various companies and clients in all types of businesses and have a well rounded resume of experience and energy to always improve my work and also my clients expectations.
