I loved how he worked with the natural light. There is elegance, timelessness, and purity in the simplicity.

  • In most cases Matthew visits your home to plan your portrait session, which includes collaborating on a preliminary photo list and determining which room(s)/windows have the best light for the project.

  • Relaxed and easy.

    Classic Portraits may also include personal items that represent the essence of the individual.

    A group/family portrait can also be taken, if desired.

  • Matthew selects the best portraits and professionally edits them to optimize their beauty.

  • Matthew works with you to determine how you would like to display your Classic Portrait(s). He can suggest masterful framers with whom he has already worked, or you can choose a custom framer of your own.

Making Memories That You’ll Never Forget

The Family Portrait Experience

  • You and Matthew will discuss with the number of people in your family, their age ranges, any special accommodations or considerations, and possible locations for the portrait session.

  • Matthew really enjoys the individual, couple, or small group candid and experiential portraits, as this is where the essence of his subjects shines through. This fun, relaxed portrait session yields exceptional results.

  • Matthew carefully and professionally edits your portraits and sends you a gallery. From here, you can download the files and order your desired prints.

  • You select the images you want prints made of, their size, and quality grade. You submit the order to the lab. Matthew’s expert set of eyes reviews your order to eliminate any potential problems. Your beautiful prints typically arrive within a week, via USPS.

I have 4 energetic boys and he did a great job of capturing the personality of each boy specifically. He was a joy to work with. I highly recommend Matthew Greene!

For Now… And For Future Generations

The LEGACY PORTRAIT Experience

  • Discuss with Matthew the someone in your family who is aging, in fragile health, or for some reason merits the focus of your portrait session? What is their essence, i.e. hobbies, profession, proclivities, etc. that can give the portraits more depth and meaning? (See example portraits with artwork, nature, sense of style, highlighted. These are just ideas.) Think about including something special in your own portrait.

  • Typically we start with a group, or family portrait. Any thoughts on where you’d like this taken (your home, a scenic location)? Where will the individual and sub-group photos be taken? Legacy Portrait Sessions often include Classic Portraits of all the family members individually.

  • Matthew captures the unique personality of the Legacy Portrait subject(s) and capitalizes on the bonds and feelings that exist within the group.

  • Matthew professionally edits the very best portraits from your session, allowing you to then have a cherished family heirloom—one that truly reflects the subject’s essence.

Matthew Greene has done portraits of me personally and professionally and in all cases, the results have been extraordinary. His shots of me outdoors combine his uncanny sense of natural beauty with his ability to capture unique aspects of gesture and expression. His “official” portrayals manage to project authority and humanity. I don’t know how he does it but he does it very well.

  • What are your business objectives? In this case, Kathryn Heidemann, President of Cleveland Institute of Art, indicated that she wanted updated executive portraits to represent her creativity and comfort in her role, now in her third year leading CIA.

    What settings should we consider for your session?

  • Relaxed and comfortable best describes a portrait session with Matthew. Casual conversation helps his subject relax, and ultimately forget their portrait is being taken.

  • Matthew selects the most successful portraits from the session and professionally edits them and sends them to you via email.

Matthew recently did another session of portraits for me. I feel more empowered and confident in my “leadership self”, and we had fun bringing in more elements of color and personality. Matthew is very intuitive in his creative process and in connecting well with his subjects, and is a pleasure to work with.
