Baby on Board

Whatever happened to those stupid little yellow signs that were so prevalent in the 90's--thank goodness some trends don't last long. Some things seem to last too long--like this pregnancy.

This is Jeramy back for the second post of the day. We went out a couple of weeks ago and did a Fall Family Photo shoot--Freckelton Photography style (how is that for alliteration?). I would wait to post this, but Shelley has been having some regular contractions, and it may not be long until she is no longer pregnant. So here is a post to my beautiful wife.

When we first found out we were pregnant, we discussed how we weren't going to do "pregnancy" pictures. The closer it has got, the more I wanted her to see how good she looked--and to show off that belly:) I am so excited to be a dad and so excited that I have this special woman to be a parent with. Here's to you love---love you!!







Then we turned the camera over to the girls to take some of the two of us--these are our first together since the wedding.



We both loved this picture!!!


We will put on the pics of the girls in the next couple of days---ooh and maybe some newborn baby pics too!!!!!!

Dave, Carolee & kids!

You might recognize these cute kids from earlier in the year, but this fall it's time for family pics! We headed down to the new Taylor's Landing area to see what inspired us--and to see how long we could all be "serious"...not too long as it turned out.


Jer's viewpoint


Love this one...


It's amazing what even a few months can do--the kids look so much older!


Mr. Handsome has how many girlfriends?






Jer played with the flash and sun while I took portrait shots :)








Let's get moving! Who do you think will win?






I just love photographing kids--never a dull moment for sure! The best is being able to capture their personality and when they tell you all of their parents most embarrassing secrets--none of course, were revealed in this session!




Now you can see where the kids get their gorgeous eyes!


Thanks for a great shoot you good-looking people!

Erica-Sr. Portrait

Hey everyone, it's Jeramy again--still no baby, but I wanted to do this post since I know Erica so well.
So where do you begin when you have known a person for a long time and you can not believe that you are taking their Sr. pictures. Should I tell funny and embarrassing stories about her---well that would take to long because there are so many.

I have know this family for a long time-but became really good friends with them a little over 10 years ago--they were my second family. So this is one of the moments, where I start to feel a little bit older seeing Erica so grown up--luckily she is still kind of the gangly, giggly girl that I first knew so many years ago, but Erica had grown up into a beautiful young lady who is a lot more responsible that what I remember:) They moved to Utah about 4 years ago and I was so happy that they traveled up to Idaho one weekend so we could do her senior pictures. It was a lot of fun.

Well, on with the session and maybe there will be more to say.



Erica was always so giggly and fun to tease--and this girl could talk a hundred miles an hour--oh wait, I think she still can.


The lighting that evening was amazing!!


If you know her mother--you will see she looks just like her






We even got Glen to agree to a few pics--I sure miss my backpacking buddy!!


Erica loves volleyball--her dad and I were her first coaches--Erica had a wicked serve, and it looks like she can jump now too.




Thanks for a great session--I love and miss you guys a lot. Congrats Erica, you are a great young lady!!!

Lindsey Revisited!

A new, pink formal, a new haircut, and a new track uniform...the perfect excuse for another round of Senior Pics....














Why not bring a friend along?

Jason, Heather & Madi

You've seen this family on our blog before, but we were lucky enough to do another family session with them this fall. We are going to miss them SO MUCH! They have headed up to Alaska where Jason is stationed with the Army. I'm not complaining too loudly though because he use to be in Afghanistan!




I am just getting to know Jason and he is a great guy! I have a lot of respect for what he does. I've heard a couple of stories about his time in the Army and it must be the hardest thing in the world to have a loved one serving military. Thank goodness you are back on U.S. soil!


Heather and Jeramy are cousins--oh the mischief those two must have gotten into when they were kids! Can't you see the twinkle in Madi's eyes? She too has a gift for being silly! I love that adorable little squirt! Here is our "Ode to Madi" part of the post.






There was something about the taste of straw that Madi liked...




Heather's Dad, Dustin Lyon, is an amazing artist. Creativity runs deep in their family--check out Heather's photography blog devoted to military families!




Be safe and have fun in Alaska! Madi find a big old bear and take a picture of him for me!
