My love for people runs deep, and my greatest joy is making sure everyone I meet knows just how loved they are.
I’ve carried a camera around with me for as long as I can remember, never knowing it would turn into the most fulfilling, joy-filled career. But here I am, documenting life’s raw, beautiful moments—and I’ve never been more sure that this is exactly where I’m meant to be. The people I’ve met, the stories I’ve witnessed, the places photography has taken me—it fills my soul with gratitude every single day.
Beyond the lens, I’m a daughter, sister, auntie, and interior design fanatic. I’m a coffee addict (seven years of working in a coffee shop will do that to you), and I firmly believe jalapeño chips deserve their own food group. Music fuels my creativity—give me a concert under the stars or a deep cut from The Lumineers, and I’m in my happy place. I’m a night owl through and through, always burning the midnight oil, but that’s what naps are for, right?
More than anything, my love for Jesus is the foundation of everything I do. My spiritual journey has been the most beautiful, wild ride, and I can’t imagine life without a Father who loves me despite all my flaws. I find Him in the quiet moments—the ones that matter most. Watching the sunset from my patio. Sitting in a coffee shop, lost in deep conversation. Serving others, pouring my heart into the people around me.
That’s why I do what I do. Because life isn’t about staged moments—it’s about the real, unfiltered, can’t-believe-this-is-my-life kind of moments. And those? Those are the ones you’ll never want to forget.
So whether we’re documenting your love story, the beauty of your growing family, the business you built on passion, or the sacredness of birth, know this—I’ll be there, camera in hand, ready to tell your story in a way that feels true to you.
Until then, I hope you find joy in the tiniest moments, watch more sunsets, and listen to really, really good music. Let’s make some magic together soon.
hey there, i'm matti!

why your photos matter
Photography, for me, is so much more than just pretty pictures—it’s about people, connection, and preserving the moments that make life feel alive. Time moves too fast, and memories fade quicker than we’d like—but a photograph? A photograph brings you back. Back to the way it felt to hold your baby for the first time, to the belly laughs shared with your favorite people, to the love that fills the space between you.
This isn’t just my job—it’s my heart. I believe every story deserves to be told, and I’m here to capture yours in a way that feels raw, real, and completely you. Because the fleeting moments? They’re the ones that matter most.
love always, matti
There’s something so beautiful about the way time moves—how moments slip through our fingers even as we’re living them. One second, you're laughing until your stomach hurts, wrapped up in a moment that feels like it will last forever. The next, you're standing hand in hand, speaking the vows that will shape the rest of your days. And before you know it, you're flipping through old photos, reliving the way it all felt—grateful you have something tangible to hold onto.
That’s why I do this.
Photography, to me, is about holding onto the moments that would otherwise disappear. It’s about catching the way your person looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the warmth of your dad’s hug before he walks you down the aisle, the chaos and beauty of bringing new life into the world. These aren’t just photos—they’re proof that this happened, that it mattered, that you were here and deeply loved.
I want to give you more than just pictures. I want to give you something to hold onto forever.
