hey, i’m matti

i'm a daughter, sister, barista, interior design fanatic, photographer, and friend. i'm a typical girl in her twenties, who is slightly obsessed with the enneagram (thanks to my friend trin). my heart for people overflows into my everyday actions.  i’m most comfortable serving others - it’s my greatest passion, and letting others know how loved they are is extremely important to me.  on a lighter note, i’m a coffee ADDICT - but i️ did work in a coffee shop for seven years - so what else would you expect? jalapeño chips are my favorite snack ever, i️ might as well buy stock in them.  i could go on mission trips everyday for the rest of my life and be the happiest person in the world.  despite my love for seeing the world, sitting on my patio watching the sunset is my favorite thing to do & when i️ feel closest to God. sitting in a quiet coffee shop with friends. having intentional conversations.  these moments set my heart on fire.

i’m regularly burning the midnight oil since i️ feel most productive and creative at night - i mean that's what naps are for, right? when spare time comes my way, diy’s and crafts are my favorite pastimes - watercolor and calligraphy are a way that I can get my thoughts and emotions out onto paper. otherwise you’ll find me at a concert (Vance Joy, The Lumineers, Johnnyswim). i️ love finding bands & artists that aren’t on the radio. while these are fun facts about your girl behind the camera, my love for Jesus is everything to me. my spiritual journey has been the most beautiful, wild ride. i️ can’t imagine going through life without a Father who loves me despite all of my flaws.

my photography journey has been nothing but a beautiful, crazy ride. i️ have carried a camera around with me since i could walk - but i️ never thought i'd be doing this as a career. but to be honest, i've never been so sure about something in my life (& it’s the best job ever so win win!!!). the people i️ have met and the places i've gotten to go because of it just fill my soul with so much joy and gratitude.

so - with all of that said i️ hope you can gain a sense of the kind of person i️ am. i️ hope someday soon we can meet and create some magic, or heck just meet for coffee and talk about all the awesome things Jesus is doing in our lives. in the meantime, i hope that you find joy in the tiniest of moments, watch more sunsets & listen to dang good music. have a beautiful day, friend.
