Year-End Reflections: 2024 in Photos and Memories
As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the moments that made 2024 so special. It’s been a year full of creativity, connection, and gratitude. Every session, every story, and every milestone I’ve had the privilege to capture reminds me why I love photography so much—it’s all about the people and the memories we create together.
This year, I had the honor of photographing two beautiful weddings, each filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Weddings are always such a joy to capture because they’re about more than just the big day; they’re about the relationships, the emotions, and the stories that brought two people together. It’s a gift to witness and preserve those memories for my clients.
I’ve also been lucky to work with so many incredible families—some for the first time and some I’ve been fortunate to photograph year after year. Seeing families grow, kids hit new milestones, and love deepen over time is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. It’s a reminder of how precious and fleeting these moments are, and I’m so grateful to play a small role in preserving them.
On a personal note, one of the highlights of my year was traveling to Japan with my wife. The experience was truly awe-inspiring and offered me a fresh perspective on art, culture, and life. Japan’s stunning landscapes and the kindness of its people reminded me of the importance of slowing down, appreciating the details, and embracing creativity in new ways. I’ve shared more about our journey in a blog post, which you can find here.
Another exciting milestone was upgrading my camera gear to ensure I can deliver even higher quality photos to my clients. Photography is all about growth—improving skills, refining the craft, and always striving to tell stories more beautifully and authentically. I’m thrilled to use this new equipment in the coming year to elevate my work even further.
As I look back on 2024, what stands out most is the connections I’ve made. Every client, every story, and every session holds a special place in my heart. Thank you to each of you who trusted me to capture your moments, whether big or small. Your support means the world to me and inspires me to keep growing as an artist and storyteller.
Looking ahead to 2025, I’m filled with excitement for what’s to come. More sessions, more milestones, and hopefully more opportunities to connect with you all.

With gratitude,
Matt
