WELCOME!

Thanks for coming by the blog. We'll have lots of fun, show lots of photos and hopefully make some new friends along the way. My main photography site has everything you need to know about my services, but here you'll find the latest and greatest images.

ABOUT ME

During the day, I'm an editor at 60 Minutes in New York. I've been at CBS News for 17 years. When I'm not editing, I'm out and about photographing happy families and couples in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut (I'm happy to fly to Paris, by the way!). I like to keep things real, fun and fresh, and I strive to capture you as you are.

Enjoy!

A nice way to spend Mother’s Day

May 16, 2009 – 6:26 pm

I had a blast with Karen and Mike’s kids last Sunday. The kids were ready to go bright and early. I love how sweet Theo looks holding Karen’s hand.

I love this one of Theo. He looks like a little peanut, even though he’s a big boy! I always get down low when I photograph kids, but I also like to shoot from a higher angle because this is how parents see their kids.

Theo was practically addicted to Cheerios during the session. We managed to get them out of his hands for a few pictures, but I wanted to get a few photos of him with his special Cheerios cup. In this photo, he’s obviously thinking, “Stay away from my Cheerios!!”

Then it was time for a little baseball. Despite Mike’s 90-mile-an-hour fast ball, Jack still knocked a few out of the park.

These are some of my favorites of Jack.

Jack was a Wii baseball champion! Maybe it was from all that practice in the backyard with his dad.

And even Theo got in on the act.

And a big hug for mom on Mother’s Day!

Thanks for asking me to photograph your family Karen and Mike. And thank you Carla for referring Karen to me.

The Faces of 2008

January 2, 2009 – 12:11 am

Happy New Year!

I was fortunate to have a variety of wonderful clients this year, ranging from old friends to new families who were referred by previous clients. From Manhattan to Manhassett to Martha’s Vineyard, from Tuxedo Park to Trumbull, and of course, Ridgewood, I’m grateful to all the proud parents and kooky kids with whom I ran, jumped, crawled, giggled and froze (that one’s for you Melanie and Neil!).

To all my wedding photography clients, your events were magical and memorable. The attention to detail and personal touches amazed me! Thank you for including me.

Please turn on your speakers and enjoy a look back at the Faces of 2008…

Brand new baby!

November 19, 2008 – 1:15 am

Many of my new clients are kindly referred by friends and former clients, but Eileen and Bill found me on Google. The funny thing is, they felt like old friends as soon as I met them. Maybe it’s because they used to live in New York City or because we’re practically neighbors now, but we hit it off from the moment I arrived.

Eileen was really calm and relaxed, which really impressed me because she had given birth to Luca just two weeks prior to our session! I remember that my head was spinning after my kids were born, so I thought it was amazing that Eileen and Bill just glided through a photo session with their newborn baby!

Luca wasn’t ready to run but his big sister, Sophia, got her chance to chase me in the Famous Matt Richman Photography Running Shot!

Inside, she was a big help to her mom while Luca got his diaper changed. She loves her new brother!

I like to have fun conversations with the kids I photograph, so I asked Sophia if she wears still wears diapers. We walked next door and I got my answer.

Before we left her room, I grabbed one of my favorite pictures of all time. I hope you don’t mind me posting this one, Eileen, but it was too good to pass up! I’ll happily remove it if you want… just let me know. :)

Downstairs, Sophia was getting hungry after an imaginary tea party with her dad. I love how she has that I-wonder-what’s-in-the-fridge look on her face.

And soon, Luca will be having all kinds of fun with his sister. But in the meantime, he’ll just show off his winning smile…

Thanks for finding me Eileen and Bill! I had a great time with your happy family!
