Meet a pair of girls who just want to have fun - Mom Angela and daughter Thea. Angela walked in to the studio seeking a shoot that was a bit out of the ordinary when it came to capturing her and her daughter. Awesome, exactly where...

I've had the pleasure of knowing a couple members of the Belmont family for a few years now. They have a great energy about them and a very passionate in their endeavors. One such passion they definitely share is their love of fashion. Working together...

Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little Miss Groth is made out of. Just under two weeks old and already stealing hearts, baby Lillian came to see us at the studio last month and I was in heaven getting to play with all our headbands...

What do you get when you mix one-year old baby girl Amelia with sun, sandy beach, and a mermaid tail? A really, really precious set of photos to cherish forever! Spending the day in the sun with the Almazar family was a blast, just like...

Today, on Father's Day, I get to share a very fun, very fitting set of photos - a Father and Sons' Star Wars themed shoot, complete with both Jedi and Sith characters.  A shoot that was destined to happen the moment Alice and I moved into our new...

Casting spells, traveling at "warp speed" and exploring uncharted corners of the universe. We now have a couple generations who have been born and grew up in a much different world than all of those prior to the digital age. Both children and now adults have...

The Almazar family story begins with the born and bred Englishman, Josh, who crossed the big blue Atlantic. He met his sweet American wife, Annie. The two of them swapped lobster tails for smoked salmon with a move from Maine to Washington. Question: What to you get when...

Um, can you say "back log?!" Yeah, we've been swamped around here, but the really, really good kind of swamped. Lots of changes happening to handle the biz growth, including bringing on a new, awesome shooter, Scott (more to come very shortly on that). So,...

Boy, do I have a cute family to share on the blog here today. Meet Chuck and Katie Johnston. Oh, and show-stealer, Gus. Spending the day out in the beautiful Penrose Park area, little Gus here gave us some photographs that can only be described as well-timed...

This job just gets better and better as time goes on. Over the years, I've pushed any photo opportunity (which clients gave me the liberty with) to create some truly unique and different artwork. It starts with an intimate/interesting view into the subject(s), backed by solid...

A couple weeks ago, I put out a call for super Seahawk fans, ages 3-7, to join me at Matty Photography studio to take some fun images paying tribute to our local Seattle Seahawks. An extra cheer, if you will, in the team's direction as...

This is my grandma, Leona. It feels weird saying her actual name - she's always been "Grandma" in my world. But for the sake of this post I'll break protocol and let that one slide, but just once. I've been fortunate enough to grow up...

Rewind a couple months back, putting us back in prime Fall season, I had the pleasure of photographing a truly adorable family, the Sellers. We had some fun outside, capturing the growing family - Christine and Larry, along with son Gabe, and hiding there in...

Alrighty, on to batch numero dos of this 'Incredible' family recently photographed. If you are wondering why I'm saying the number 2 in spanish, you probably missed series 1 on the Incredible shoot, click here to view those and get up-to-speed on this entire shoot...

Yes, that's right, this'll be a two-parter. Too many great photos to share in one post, plus the fact that this shoot did indeed take place over two separate shooting days/concepts. When you locate a family who completely fits the bill for the entire cast...

This sweet little 8 lb 1 oz, 20-inch long blessing was in the studio and we couldn't get enough. I always ask parents if I can keep their babies after I've fallen in love with them, having spent the last few hours with them, but...

A few things to celebrate today! This week marks the Matty blog's 5th birthday. Really hard to believe I've been mashing away on my keyboard, sharing my photo adventures for that long already. Over 300 posts, averaging a post every 5 days for 5 straight...
