Ready to Elevate Your Image
“Let’s create portraits that truly represent who you are—confident, modern, and unforgettable.
I photograph creative professionals, thought leaders, and business owners who are launching new projects, rebranding, or stepping into a bigger role — and need images that reflect who they really are.
Not your typical headshots. On-location portraits for creatives, authors, and entrepreneurs who need images that make an impact.

AMAZING photographer! I have had photos and head-shots taken by many photographers and Matt is definitely one of the best. He has great eye for detail and I absolutely love his lighting. He is a true master at his craft! Photoshoots with him are always a fun and effortless experience. He captured so many great photos that it is always difficult for me to narrow them down.

I have dealt with many photographers all across the United States and Matt is an absolute joy to work with. He is timely, responsive, professional, with not only an excellent work product, but he makes the subject feel at ease--which allows for the best shots!

Our firm hired Matt (twice) to shoot our staff photos for our corporate website—he did phenomenal work! Matt was on time and very professional with everyone. He made sure all our members felt comfortable during the shoot and also made sure everyone was satisfied with their pictures. We're glad we found him—Matt's our guy.

Working with Matt at Draper Studios was such an amazing experience. Within days of my updated headshot, I was able to secure a modeling gig with a new client. Matt is the winning combination of not only incredibly talented, but warm, professional, kind, and detail oriented. He makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera.

I hired Matt to help shoot a couple of videos for my business and he was both professional and creative. I had such great experience with him that I hired Matt to do my headshots, glam shots and even product photos. Would definitely recommend.
