I know we haven’t been the best about updating this. We just need to get in a routine of doing it.
This year has been a great year for us and our friends. Jessica started a good job in January with Bon Secours. This year our Friends John and Mia had their second son, Bentley who is a chill and alert child, always looking around at what is going on. Our nephew Derek Jr. turned one in May and just started walking and is already pretty quick. Robbie and Rachel recently had twins, they should be coming home any day. I can’t wait to meet and photograph them.

We just bought a house in Port Norfolk (Portsmouth). It is a three bedroom cottage with a small basement (Basements are very rare in Hampton Roads). We have a one car garage out back, now to run electricity out to it. (these are the pictures off of my phone)
This week has been a lot of work, we are ready to get moved and settled in. we are grateful to everyone who has helped us! We will continue to take pictures as we make this house our home.
I have been somewhat busy with my photography, you can stay updated here. I am always looking for more work, and to expand my portfolio.
Thanks for reading, Matt.
