KIND WORDS

“Mattie is literally the sweetest soul on the planet! I had some crazy anxiety leading up to the shoot but she made me feel so comfortable. Of course we were nervous in the beginning but Mattie is just a natural at making people feel at ease and truly captured our love better than we could’ve imagined! She listened to our wants and directed us when we needed help. I truly felt unprepared for our shoot because my husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera but Mattie was ready with tips and ideas for our poses and not to mention fixing my hair and wardrobe malfunctions when needed. I can’t recommend her enough!!!”
