Really happy with my family pictures for the second year. He went above and beyond to ensure we had great shots with a 1 year old that wasn't in the mood to smile that day. We received them the following week, and he was quick to make my editing requests. Overall, flexible and kind, great to work with.

Matt was great to work with from the initial contact to the last photo of the shoot. Great communicator and especially good with our littles. Wrangling 3 little girls - aged 5,3,1- just before suppertime was no easy task. Not only did he roll with situation, he got some gorgeous shots of the whole family. It was overcast on the day we shot and he used the light beautifully. We'll be reaching out to him again next year!

Matt made the entire experience easy. He was relaxed, patient and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He took us to several beautiful spots giving us so many different backgrounds and a wonderful variety of photos. Nothing felt rushed or overly posed.
I was completely blown away when we received our gallery, and the turnaround was so quick! Matt is incredibly talented, and I can't recommend him enough!
