This guy is a true artist. Check out his site (currently being revamped) or his blog. You'll see a…read morelot of candids, weddings, celebrities... but Matt has a soft spot for animals and I believe some of his greatest pieces are the moments he captures with people and their dogs. So much so that I have four of his black and whites up in my dining room. The first thing people notice when entering that room are the photographs. The first time I saw his work was at McLean Animal Hospital. He used to be a photographer with UPI and began working for himself. There were some postcards about the artist in the waiting room so I took one and got in touch. At the time I had a specialty retail store and I called to let him know he's welcome to display his work there. It added so much to the decor and feel of the place. Matt's a longtime local boy from Arlington whose photography has taken him around the world. If you're looking for a way to really capture something special, get in touch with him.

Why yelp did you remove this review???…read more The fotographer is amazing. I googled him and after meeting with him I was impressed with his credentials and his demeanor. He certainly wasn't the cheapest but he had the most impressive body of work. We hired him for our quinceanera, and did he deliver. My daughter unfortunately takes after her mother-inlaw. She will hopefully have a successful career in radio. However Matt turned her into a cinderella and we couldn't be any happier with the photographs. Mucho Gracias hombre and stay thirsty!

When I politely asked if there was a personal reason, she became aggressive, insulted me, told me I was 'weird' for even asking, then blocked me without resolving the issue. Unprofessional from start to finish. I received no apology, no explanation, and no professional courtesy for content I paid for. Proceed with caution--this is not someone who handles paying clients with respect or maturity. Poor customer service.

And then wow - the quality of our photos with him. I'm no doubt getting more photos with him. We got so many good shots right off the bat I feel like was only in front of camera for less than 5 minutes and we had captured the look. I'm sure we could have gone longer, but didn't need to. He must have great equipment because the camera quality was great.

I've had the pleasure of working with Elyse on a number of photo shoots. Initially, she took…read morematernity photos and then photos of my newborn daughter. Ultimately, I happily used Elyse to capture my business. As a local small business owner, Elyse encouraged me to develop a branding strategy that would tell a story on my business website and social media outlets. I really wanted the photos to enhance my mission, but also show the real me! We worked in a professional studio setting where Elyse took hundreds of photos over the course of 5 hours. There was no rushing and I felt so heard! She did an amazing job of listening to what I wanted, while also suggesting ideas that would make my vision that much better. It's obvious Elyse puts a lot of time and hard work into delivering quality photos. During post production she clearly takes the extra hours to comb through the details-things that I wouldn't normally deem important (ie symmetry, complimentary colors, and proper lighting.) She is a perfectionist, so I trusted that she would take the time to make sure I'd be happy with the end result. One of the biggest differences between Elyse and most other photographers that I've worked with is this: she makes you feel super comfortable while guiding you on how to pose. As a woman this is so crucial because it's really difficult to find a flattering stance. I never know how to stand or smile! I also have a hard time just looking natural. Elyse helped me figure this out in like 5 minutes! It always felt like Elyse had my back when creating images for me and my brand. I couldn't recommend her more. Aside from being super knowledgeable in her field, she truly has an eye for what looks incredible and I would recommend her to anyone who wants the very best photos.

I cannot express how pleased I was with the overall outcome of the images. Not only were the images wonderfully captured, but they really gave my portfolio and website a professional edge. I have also received endless complements about the intimate portraits she captured and that I have since utilized these on ALL my social media accounts-- (i swear her photos have upped my follower count!) Elyse has a unique way of looking at things, and an eye for creative capture. As a creative myself, I admire her talent and look for this quality in a photographer. Beyond her talent, she is a gentle, fun-loving personality that is super easy to work and fun to be around. I cannot wait to work with Elyse again!!
