The Couples Experience

No matter what chapter you’re in, your love story is worth preservation. Whether you’re celebrating your engagement, honeymoon, fortieth anniversary, or just another weekend adventure together - the moments you spend with the person you love matter. I set out to create images that capture who you are together in these moments, timeless images that will bring these emotions and memories flooding back for decades to come.

One thing about me, I love love.  I'm as emotionally involved in your session as you are, I want to get you the photos of your dreams and I'll be right there helping you throughout the booking and planning process to ensure you both are nothing but confident and excited heading into your photo session!

If you'd like to book a session, reach out via my contact form on this site. I will send you my photo session guide with information about my packages and how to book. 

1. Say Hello

Once we connect, we will choose a date for your photo session. Most of my sessions take place during golden hour, the hour before sunset.  Once you're on my calendar you can choose a location for your photo session from my extensive list of favorite locations for photos in both San Diego and Orange County (and beyond!)

2. Schedule it

Once we have the date and location down, its time for the fun stuff! Planning! I am here with you every step of the way for planning and knowing what to expect.  Every client will receive my detailed session and style guide to help you feel prepared walking into your photo session. I work closely with each of my clients to ensure every detail is perfect! 

3. Planning it

Take a deep breath, I'm here for you! Don't worry about not knowing how to pose. As your photographer it's my job to pose you in both comfortable and flattering ways. We will do a mix of both posed and candid photos, adventuring around in our location. 

4. Your Session

After your session is finished, it's time for the fun part! Your edited images will be delivered within 7 days through an online gallery. You have printing and sharing rights included in your session, so share your beloved photos everywhere! I am happy to assist you in choosing and ordering prints of your treasured photos.

"I have endless things I could say about how incredible Mattie is! She is beyond talented, her eye for details is amazing, she is so flexible and has the most calm demeanor. She is the best and is so helpful with looks, posing, candids, and capturing such special moments! With two small boys who just want to play, she goes with it and somehow captures the most beautiful moments! How she does it seems like magic! She is not only so kind and great with the pictures and family but is so professional with a great and quick communication as well as turnaround time! With other photographers it can take a really long time but Mattie has done above and beyond in this area! But the quality isn’t sacrificed. I will only use Mattie as long as we live here!"

Family session

"Mattie is an absolute pleasure to work with! We have hired her to shoot our newborn photos, holiday photos and extended family portraits and have loved the outcome every single time. We have four kids 6 and under and she does such an amazing job handling the chaos. Highly recommend!"

"We’ve been going to Mattie for years for our family photos and have enjoyed working with her! She makes the process enjoyable and easy. She knows the best spots to shoot at and has an eye for detail. So sweet with kids and makes the session fun for them! Super personable and very talented! Thankful for the beautiful work she does!"

I had an incredible experience working with Mattie, our family photographer in San Diego. She was amazing with my little ones and clearly knew how to handle those tricky moments when they weren’t in the mood to cooperate—her experience as a mom really showed. The photos she captured are beautiful, and we’re thrilled with how they turned out. We’re already looking forward to booking with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, patient, and family-focused photographer.

"We found Mattie through a search of San Diego photographers and really liked her work. Our family photos that Mattie took on the beach in Coronado were exactly what we wanted. Everything was very easy and smooth and we're very happy."

"My husband and I had the best experience doing a shoot with Mattie! She is so talented and we are beyond happy with how the photos turned out, and will forever cherish them. Mattie made us both feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole experience, helping us to pose and ultimately resulting in my all time favorite photos. Will 100% go back to Mattie for our next photo occasion!"

"Mattie did an amazing job. She creates a professional and very relaxed environment. It was very low stress, which is saying something having a young family of four. She got my daughters to look at the camera, gave us great pose ideas, and we had fun. It was by far the most calm and enjoyable photography experience. And of course, the most important part, the pictures turned out beautiful!"

Family session

"Mattie has taken our family photos several times and each time, they’ve been amazing! I can’t wait for our next session with her and highly recommend her. She’s great with my four kids and manages to get them to smile and be happy (and still!) for photos. She gets beautiful action shots and posed. All of them are just gorgeous and I’m grateful for her!"

Family session

"Mattie is simply the BEST! We are in love with our photos and the photo shoot was so laid back and easy. Our kids had so much fun at the shoot and loved Mattie. She made it like playing with a friend. Our favorite family photographer by far and looking forward too booking our next family photos already. Highly recommend Mattie!"

"We did pictures for my twins graduation and Mattie was wonderful to work with. My girls are very different. One was definitely more into the photoshoot than the other. Mattie was easily able to work with them both. My daughter who doesn’t love the attention so much ended up having a blast and really enjoying the experience. The pictures were exactly what I was hoping for. She got each of their individual personalities in the pictures and some very special shots of them together. Thank you, Mattie!"

"Mattie has taken photos of my family on several occasions and she goes above and beyond each time! She’s great with getting the kiddos to look at the camera and smile. She tells me when I should adjust my dress or hair to look my best in the photos (which is amazing because I’m trying to make sure everyone else is looking and smiling I forget about myself!)"
