WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Angie S.
"Mattie was great with our family and made it fun! She was flexible with a surprise outfit change. There was a QUICK turnaround on getting our photos. I highly recommend!"
Jeff P.
"We had a great experience with Mattie. She captured our family perfectly in the photos! Her edits were done very timely and we couldn't be happier!"
Kate J.
"We LOVE our sessions with Mattie! She has such great talent, and genuinely makes us all smile -- even our stubborn 3-year old that hates photos. We have done many sessions with her and will keep coming back, as she never disappoints!"
Welcome!
Who am I?
Born and raised in the Black Hills of South Dakota, I moved to the Twin Cities to pursue my ultrasound career. I like to say I take pictures of your insides by trade and your outsides by passion. I live in Independence, Minnesota with my husband Brent and sons Jax, Beck and Jude. They make it easy to constantly have my camera out. I picked up a camera after my first son was born and refused to put it down ever since. I love capturing the moments that truly define you and your loved ones- the candid smiles and laughs that capture life at that second, because thats what truly matters afterall.
Why do I do what I do?
Candid imagery has a special place in my heart. Families, couples or kids can be themselves and get more comfortable in front of the lens, and have fun while doing it! I love capturing the expressions that you can't usually get through a controlled posing situation. While I realize that 'stand here and smile' pictures are still important, the ones I find most cherish-able, are the ones with the real smiles and giggles, the ones with that light in your eyes, the ones that show real love and emotion. THAT's why I do what I do.
I have a wide range of portrait photography experience -families, seniors, content and branding, professional headshots, kids, events, special occasions of all sorts, use the drop down menu at the top to take a look!
