Mateusz’s family…
Mateusz bring this same perspective to every family we work with, because he knows firsthand how meaningful it is to preserve these fleeting moments.
Before Sugar + Salt was a brand, it was a way of seeing the world—something that started right at home. These photos of Mateusz’s own family are a glimpse into the heart behind our work. They’re not posed or polished, and that’s exactly the point. They capture the chaos, the connection, the quiet in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. This is the kind of storytelling we believe in—honest, unfiltered, and full of feeling.
Mateusz isn’t just your photographer, he’s a dad who knows how fast it all goes. These photos are his way of pressing pause on the everyday stuff that turns out to be the big stuff. No matching outfits, no perfect smiles—just the real, beautiful mess of family life. The sweet and the salty. Just the way we like it.
Mateusz brings this same perspective to every family we work with, because he knows firsthand how meaningful it is to preserve these fleeting moments. These snapshots of his family are exactly what Sugar + Salt is all about: real life, unfiltered and full of love (plus a little chaos, of course). From silly faces to quiet cuddles, these moments weren’t planned—they just happened. And that’s what makes them magic.
A day in the life of the Singletons…
At Sugar + Salt, we don’t ask your kids to sit still—and honestly, we don’t want them to. We believe the best photos happen when no one’s trying too hard.
At Sugar + Salt, we don’t ask your kids to sit still—and honestly, we don’t want them to. We believe the best photos happen when no one’s trying too hard. Our documentary-style sessions are all about capturing your family as you are, in the wild, wonderful flow of real life. That means snack breaks, goofy faces, tangled hair, and love in its most honest form. Because when you look back on these photos, we want you to remember not just what your life looked like—but how it felt to live it.
We chose the name Sugar + Salt because family life is both. It’s soft bedtime routines and cereal on the floor. It’s hugs and hard days, belly laughs and deep breaths. We’re here to capture it all, without filters or forced poses—just the beautifully imperfect truth of your every day. If you’re longing for photos that hold meaning, movement, and a little bit of magic, you’re in the right place.

Half a day with the Hickenloopers…
Life with teenagers moves fast. One minute they're little, the next they’re taller than you, making their own plans, and borrowing your car.
Life with teenagers moves fast. One minute they're little, the next they’re taller than you, making their own plans, and borrowing your car. At Sugar + Salt Family Photography, we know this season can feel like a blur—full of growth, big emotions, inside jokes, and quiet shifts. That’s why we photograph families just as they are, with a documentary-style approach that honors the connection that holds you all together, even as everything around you is changing.
These aren’t the years for matching outfits and forced grins. They're the years for spontaneous laughter, unspoken bonds, and moments that are too easy to miss. We’ll meet you where you are—whether that’s hanging out in your kitchen, walking the dog, or dancing in the living room—and capture the realness of your family right now. Because someday, you’ll want to remember this chapter too: the sweet, the salty, and everything in between.

A day in the life of the Greenwoods: documenting authentic family connection through candid photography
In the beautiful tapestry of family life, it is often the fleeting, unguarded moments that resonate the deepest—the laughter shared over a messy dinner, the quiet comfort of a shared glance, or the spontaneous giggles during a game of tag in the backyard. Our candid photography captures these sweet and salty moments, preserving the joy and complexity of everyday family connection. Each photograph serves as a timeless reminder of the connections that bind us, the warmth of fleeting smiles, and the unscripted, genuine emotions that make each family unique. As we document these precious instances, we create a visual narrative of love, laughter, and life's beautiful imperfections, inviting you to relive the heart of your family's story.
