Baby Freckleton

Wow--what an amazing day we had yesterday. I know many of you are dying to see some pics of Jack--well we are dying to show them to you.

Here are just a few--we will post more later, with our other surprise---a new blog!! Watch for it at: www.freckletonphotography.net

We were hoping to have it ready, but there are a few minor glitches that should be worked out soon--but for now--welcome Jackson Ellis Freckleton. Born November 10, 2009--7lbs 7 oz, 20 inches long. Mom and Baby are both doing great and we will all be home on Thursday.

Thanks to everyone for the love and support we have received and continue to receive. We are so blessed!!

Just minutes after he was born


By far our most favorite picture so far---he has been so alert and he is just the cutest boy with his blonde hair--we didn't think he had any hair at first because it was so light and so matted down:

Deedra and Michael Married!

I love fall weddings...the crisp air, the gorgeous colors, it's all so romantic! Deedra and Michael were married October 2nd at a family member's home on the edge of town.

A younger sister and two friends were Deedra's bridesmaids and they all looked beautiful!


I love it when the couple sets aside time for a first look! It is a sure way to end up with awesome formals (pictures of the bride and groom) and it gives the couple time before all the chaos to get lost in the moment of seeing each other. This day, it was especially fortunate that the couple chose to see each other early because after the ceremony there was barely enough time for family pictures before the lighting was gone.
















Michael had his brothers be his groomsmen. Matthew was the best man and he gave the most sincere and heartfelt toast to his older brother--I was so impressed!






Thanks to Michael's mom, Caryn, for all her help with everything!


A huge thank you to Tamara Lillie who helped us shoot this wedding (I mostly waddled around and tried to keep up!). This is her shot of the bride and it is absolutely my fave!




This shot has Jer's name written all over it! I love the sunset!


Congratulations Deedra and Michael!! Best wishes for a long and happy life together!

Family Pics Freckleton Style

Thanks to everyone for their love and support with this baby. We thought "it" (yes, I still don't know what it is!) might be coming this weekend, so Jer made the previous post when my contractions were 8 minutes apart. Apparently, the little squirt had other plans, cause no kiddo! Who knows when it will decide to arrive? Oh well, that's half the fun.

So here's the rest of the post from our family photo shoot. We decided to do our own school pictures and while we were at it, a few family pics. I just can't believe we forgot to do our own "awkward family photo"!

Starting things off with my fave of the day. I love my man and girlies!




Big sis


Little sis


This next series totally cracks me up. There was some major posing going on!


Actually, if you know the girls, this is pretty much how life at our house is!




For all of you parents who tell me how rotten their kids are during family pictures, now do you believe me when I tell you it's not rotten, it's perfect!


This is Libbie, our black lab that doesn't usually look like a dementor--I'm sure she was just posing.






Finishing things up with some more "school pics". This reminds me so much of Aunt Stacee!

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!
