hey friends!
I'm Tiffani
15 years of photography brought me here.
Thank you so much for stopping by and getting to know me. My name is Tiffani Matsuura. I absolutely love capturing families and friends, where every snapshot tells a story of love, joy, and the beauty that surrounds us. I have been capturing cherished moments for just over 15 years, specializing in creating timeless memories. My photography style is characterized by a light & bright aesthetic, drawing inspiration from film to infuse a romantic and personal touch into each image. I specialize in families & newborns, but love beautiful & whimsical weddings.
I have had the privilege of photographing across the country, finding inspiration in the diverse landscapes of nature and infusing them with genuine connections formed by love. Whether it’s a contagious smile or the tender embrace of loved ones, I am dedicated to preserving the little moments that are intricately connected, celebrating the essence of love, friendship, and family. Beyond my passion for photography, I am a devoted Christian, finding joy and inspiration in my faith and the joy of loving Jesus.
Join me on a journey to capture the warmth and authenticity of life, as I continue to blend artistry, nature, and the love that binds us all.
A lot of people ask me, what does A Worthy Treasure mean?
A worthy treasure is meant to inspire us that every moment in our lives are worthy to treasure. I’ve walked through so many ups and downs in my own personal life, but always find the beauty in small moments. they are worthy to be treasured and worthy to find beauty in all the small beautiful details.
One unique thing about me, is that I am first and foremost a missionary. I was a full-time family and wedding photographer for over 14 years when the Lord called me into the mission field of California. I did just that and began sharing the gospel & discipling anyone who would listen. Currently, I am a Worship/Leader Minister in my local church as well as with an organization called JesusMovement.us based in Southern California as well as an Evangelist. I love being a minister as well as a home-steading, home-schooling mother of one beautiful girl. I have been married for 14 years this year, has a 7 year old daughter and two puppies (and soon some chickens). This past year she has traveled across America, singing to share the good news of Jesus.
move forward
Over the years, I’ve worked with so many incredible clients. I’ve photographed weddings, proposals, families, newborns, maternities, parties and so much more. However, my favorite part about being a photographer is the friendships that I have formed.
I don’t just feel like I have “clients”, but true friendships, where I have the privilege of watching families grow all the way from engagement to a family filled with little ones.
