This isn’t your typical family photography.

Families are ever-growing and ever-changing. They’re full of life, wonder, chaos and charm. Today will be a moment either lost in time or a memory you can cherish over and over. We can take beautiful photographs of those moments that last forever.

Does it feel like you only get photos of your family if you make the time to take them?

You’re not alone.

Explore any family photo album and you’ll often see photographs of the kids and one parent, while the other stays behind the camera. Or, better yet, an extended arm or selfie stick as everyone awkwardly huddles and smiles for a picture. 

Instead, why not have…

A FAMILY EXPERIENCE YOU’LL ALL REMEMBER?

No struggling to get everyone looking in the same direction as you coax them all to pose for a quick snap.

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS YOU’RE ALL A PART OF?

No wondering where one person was or trying to dredge up distant memories of what they looked like in that moment.

IMAGES THAT CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF WHO YOU ARE AS A FAMILY?

Because overly posed and styled studio photos just aren’t your thing—although we’ll definitely get a couple of you all smiling to camera to balance out your collection.

WE’RE REDEFINING WHAT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY LOOKS LIKE

THIS IS DOCUMENTARY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY

Photos that mean something so that you, your children, and future generations get to see what it was like to live a day in your life. A day where you eat breakfast, play games, act goofy, sit on the couch, go to the zoo, or even run out to grab some groceries. It’s family life and it’s all worth capturing.

We hired Matt for a journalistic-style family photo shoot and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. He’s talented and so fun to work with.

PRINT THEM, HANG THEM OR CREATE AN ALBUM

The choice is yours. Move away from the scrolling and pinching and zooming on your phone (how often do you even look at all those photos anyway?) and create special memories with something much more tangible.

Matt and Nicole are amazing! Every part of the experience with them was so easy. And looking at our family album, you can see just how much Matt and Nicole listened to everything we said.

True professionals!

We had the BEST experience with Matt and his team for both of our wedding celebrations. They are SO FUN to work with, and their photos captured our big days in such a magical way that looking through them takes us right back to those special moments.

It was amazing!

Working with Matt and Nicole was one of the easiest decisions my (now) husband and I had made throughout our entire wedding planning experience. Our beautiful album will be cherished for years to come! And we are forever grateful.

Sophisticated and timeless

Matt and Nicole went above and beyond to help make our wedding day everything we could have imagined. They were very helpful with problem solving and keeping things running smoothly. We were already so impressed by them but after we saw the photos we were blown away.

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS…

We have answers. If you don’t see your question answered below, drop us a message!

We work in a very natural and candid way for the most part. Most of the time, you won’t even know we’re there. Our role is to capture the story of your family as it happens, without posing at every step. When it comes to portraits, we’ll guide you through some posing in a fun and relaxed way that keeps the whole family engaged.

It very much depends where you feel most relaxed. We love shooting in your home but our favorite thing is to get out and about in nature to capture your family having fun. This might be a local park or nature space where you all often visit and feel comfortable.

And of course, family pets are very welcome to join in the fun!

Absolutely. We’re fully insured (let us know if your venue needs a copy of the paperwork). We’ve also learned through extensive experience that you can never be too careful, so we have back up equipment in case of damage or failure. We back up all your images to multiple memory cards, hard drives and an offsite cloud backup so there’s no chance of them accidentally getting lost. 

Most definitely! It’s our belief that every family needs an album of their most precious photographs, or some beautiful prints and wall art. We love how special it is to be able to sit down and physically flip through an album. You, your family, and friends can also order prints direct from our online gallery too!
