"We have loved being part of the growth of each and every family we have worked with over the last six years," said studio owner Lara Aman Mattey. "So much so that we think it’s time to redefine our roots to
focus on creating a more personalized photography experience, including new sessions that artistically document each family’s growth and unique story. We’re very excited about our new studio and offerings and are confident our current and future clients will love our photography experience from start to finish."

Featuring the same team clients have come to know and love, the new studio will utilize distinct handcrafted backgrounds and seasonal vignettes designed by local artists for an ethereal look and feel.

New product lines will focus on local architecture and include a luxe line featuring glass and metal, an organic line featuring reclaimed wood, and handcrafted pieces enabling customers to chicly display their photos at home.

Finally, all photography sessions will be completely personalized – from standard sessions to the new "Reverie" sessions, which are one-of-a-kind photography experiences that are fully customized and unique to each family.

"Our new name, Ivory Tree, is for the pure light we use in our photography and for the family tree, the roots of a family, the tree of life, majestic and intertwined. Just like mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters," Mattey said. "Our mission is to help strengthen the family connection by documenting every special moment of its growth and love – we grow with maternity, coo with newborns, smash cake with one-year-olds, chase after toddlers, laugh with teens, love with families."
