About us

Hello! We’re Matt & Anne, and we’re a husband and wife photography team. We are both Missouri natives, and currently live on a small farm in Jamestown, Missouri with our toddler August Vaughan, who is soon to be a big brother, and our siberian huskies, Vike & Oslo.

Matt and I got married nine years ago and through him I have learned how incredibly impactful relationships are on an individual- truly changing each of us into a person that we would not be without our partner. This widely sparked my interest in photographing the relationships of others. I love seeing how in a single, seemingly insignificant second, the love and value of an entire relationship can be portrayed. Every couple is unique and I love photographing the dynamics of each individual relationship, showing how the two of you interact together to bring out something that is remarkable and singular to you!

Use this paragraph to describe what you do. This is a great place to let your visitors know who you are.

Whether or not the weather allows, you can find us outside in the woods, on the river, in the shop building things, or with our goat herd, trying to be homesteaders. We love spur-of-the-moment camping trips, late night drives down gravel roads while blasting Lord Huron or Illenium, and taking out the kayaks when we have a warm day in the middle of January. 

That being said, lifestyle photography is our favorite thing – documenting all the unique parts of any relationship and family. Photographing adventurous people is our jam. We both earned two degrees in Forestry and in Fisheries & Wildlife, so as you can imagine, we really love being outdoors. We love working with the natural world as our backdrop, so if you’re a fellow adventurous soul, we might just be the photographers you are looking for!
