The Unfiltered Experience
No color. No fancy wardrobe. No Photoshop. Just stunning photographs of you, exactly as you are.
It’s Time to Break Free
Rediscover What You Look Like By Being You
Ever look in the mirror and feel like you just don’t see the YOU that you feel like? There’s so much pressure out there about how we should look, dress, and act. But here’s the truth: the bravest thing you can do is just be yourself, no apologies.
Now, imagine having a photo of yourself that’s more than a phone selfie. A real reflection of who you are, your energy, your natural beauty, totally unfiltered. To me, that’s a statement of self-love and acceptance.
For a while now, I’ve been drawn to portraits that capture the raw, honest essence of a person without distractions. I’ve always wanted to create a black and white portrait photography experience in Maine that highlights our true selves and shows that we are beautiful exactly as we are. That’s why I launched the Unfiltered Experience.
The Unfiltered Experience
No Masks, Just You
Showing up for this session takes guts. You’re walking in without the armor: no professional makeup, no new wardrobe, nothing to hide behind. For a lot of people, this is the first time they’ve let themselves be photographed without all that.
Let’s Move
We start by getting you moving. Walking, turning, shifting your weight – this is where the real stuff shows up, not the posing.
That Face
This is about your face without the mask. I’m watching for what happens when you’re not trying to look a certain way – that’s when your actual personality comes through.
Vulnerability Rocks
This part is about being vulnerable enough to celebrate your body exactly as it is. You decide how far you want to go – fully dressed, implied, or full nudity. Whatever feels honest to you.
The Instant Reveal: we look at the images together right after we shoot, straight from the camera with nothing edited yet. Most people are surprised by the amazing images they end up choosing.

Real Stories
What Clients Say
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!
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!
