Maine's Premier
Portrait Studio
You’re Not Here For Just Any Photographer. You’re Here For The Right One.
Why do you need professional portraits?
Most people don’t see themselves clearly.
You’re either too close to the story or too busy living it. What makes Stonetree different is that I show you what the world already sees (and loves) when you walk into a room.
My name is Matt Stagliano and I’m a portrait photographer.
I create portraits that look like you, but more importantly, they FEEL like you.
Not the version you put on for LinkedIn. Not the one you save for family. I’m talking about the version of you that shows up when you feel seen.
I work with artists, entrepreneurs, professionals, and anyone tired of photos that feel like masks. My sessions are quiet, honest, and collaborative. No pressure. No pretension. Just space to be real.
Whether you’re here for a headshot, a full personal branding session, or something raw and vulnerable like The Unfiltered Experience, the goal is the same: portraits that tell the truth in the most beautiful way possible.
What You’ll Get:
- A calm and welcoming session built around you
- High-end imagery with zero guesswork
- A guided experience from consult to final reveal
- Artwork that reminds you who you are
My Promise to you
I won’t ask you to smile. I’ll ask you to breathe. Because once you do, something shifts. You soften. You settle. That’s the moment I’m waiting for—and it always comes.

Real Testimonials from Real Clients
Matt is the only one who truly captured who I am. I have never felt more beautiful, confident, or strong. His ability to put you at ease is super helpful, and his studio space is gorgeous. If there were a 10-star option, I would leave that! Thank you, Matt!

"The idea of sitting for a portrait made me feel anxious, jittery and to more to the point want to barf. And then I met Matt. I experienced what Stonetree Creative was all about. He instantly made me feel comfortable, effortlessly taught me a few “tricks of the trade” and allowed me to open myself up to an intimate portrait session."

I cannot put into words how incredible my shoot with Matt was. He took the time to get to know me and understand how to best guide me through the shoot. By holding non-judgmental space Matt created an environment where I felt safe to be vulnerable, explore different parts of my personality, and show up as my most authentic self. I cannot recommend working with Matt enough!
