Bentley is a cute little man, and we got some great pictures of him.He lit up once he tasted his cake. What a great session!
I love the Martie's they are such a fun bunch, and I am so happy to take their family christmas pictures again this year with the addition of Bentley. We met in Downtown Suffolk at the train station museum and after a quick tour of the museum we were outside in the cold (we thought it was cold then) to start pictures.
We went across the street to the Obici Foundation's new building to utilize their beautiful front porch.
I met Mike, Laurie, Timmy and Susie in Old Town Portsmouth for a family/Christmas session. It was a great afternoon for it, and we weren't the only ones with the idea of getting some pictures at the giant christmas tree at the end of High Street. We waited out turn and found our angle. Before we left we just let the kids run around as I chased them to get some great pictures.
That is the one thing I have learned about working with young kids, sometimes you need to give them the lead and follow closely and quickly for some great individual shots.
Thanks for looking, if you would like to schedule your session with Matt shoot him an email or connect on Facebook.
Spooky Acres is a Haunted House that my wife and I have volunteered at for many years. It used to be in an actual haunted house in the Chuckatuck sections of Suffolk, VA. Once the house wasn't structurally sound enough for us to use it we moved to Chesapeake Square Mall. This was the 17th year for Spooky Acres. Paige and Darren run the house and put a lot of time and effort into getting it setup and running it every year.
This is a labor of love for them, all of the proceeds from the house are donated to charity, "it give the kids that are to old to trick or treat something to do and keep them out of trouble" says Paige.
Here are some images to give you an idea of what's in store as you walk through the haunted house.
I also setup in one of the rooms to get customer's reactions.
David and Shannah had a beautiful wedding at the West Side Chapel with a great reception at the Women's Club of Portsmouth. Brenda, Shannah's mother, worked extra hard on this wedding, making the dress, cake and many other details of the wedding. It was a small intimate wedding where everyone seemed to have a great time.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!
