Greater Boston
A photographer near you
I’m Mat — a photographer based in Burlington, working right across the towns nearby. Families are most of what I shoot, but the same approach covers maternity, first birthdays and milestones, and engagements and proposals.
My sessions are candid and shot entirely in natural light. No studio, no forced lineups and no “everybody say cheese” — we go to a park near you or stay at home, and I photograph what actually happens. Sessions start at $599 with every edited image included, and your gallery is delivered within seven days.
Weekends in September and October book out first. If you want autumn colour or soft golden-hour light, reach out early.
Where to shoot
The best spots for photos near you
A park near you
Every town round here has one or two spots that photograph beautifully in the hour before sunset — open meadows, tree lines, water. Tell me where you live and I’ll suggest the ones that work best for your family and the time of day we shoot.
Your own home
Some of my favourite sessions never leave the house. Toddlers, pancakes on a Saturday morning — natural light through your own windows, and nobody has to get everyone into the car.
Somewhere that matters to you
The backyard you’re leaving, a grandparent’s garden, the field at the end of your street. If a place means something to your family, we can shoot there.

Kind words
What families are saying
“Mat has taken our family photos for three years now and we are always very impressed and so happy with his work! He somehow manages to capture many beautiful images of us despite working with silly, quick moving, and sometimes very shy kids. He is so easy to work with, very responsive, professional, and his work speaks for itself.”
“We hired Mat without any knowledge of his work and we were completely blown away. He was professional, courteous and extremely talented. Our photo shoot included 2 toddlers and a doggy. Even with their resistance, he captured amazing shots. The quality of Mat’s work is what you would find for 5 times the price elsewhere.”
“We recently hired him for a maternity photo session. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable getting our pictures taken professionally, but Mat immediately put us at ease. The pictures turned out stunning and he got us the digital proofs very quickly. His prices are incredibly reasonable given what he provides.”

About Mat
Thirty years of chasing the real moment.
I’ve been taking photos since I was a kid — more than thirty years now — and I turned that into a business in 2015. Two kids of my own later, I still shoot the only way I ever have: candid, natural light, and the moments you didn’t know were happening.

Booking a photographer, answered
What do you photograph?
Families, maternity, babies and milestones, engagements and proposals. Candid and natural light in every case — the approach is the same whoever is in front of the camera. Sessions start at $599 with every edited image included.
Which towns do you cover?
I’m based in Burlington and there’s no travel fee within about twelve miles — Winchester, Lexington, Arlington, Bedford, Reading, Wilmington and the towns around them. Further out is usually still possible, so it’s worth asking.
Where do sessions happen?
A local park near you, or right at your own home — whichever suits your family best. Some of my favourite sessions never leave the house.
How quickly do we get the photos?
Your full edited gallery arrives within seven days, and every image is yours to download and print at any size you like.
What should we wear?
Soft, muted colours that don’t compete with each other, and clothes your kids can actually move in. I send a short guide with real examples once your date is booked.
How far in advance should we book?
Fall weekends usually go six to eight weeks out. The rest of the year, two to three weeks is normally fine.
