ladies man | nappanee baby photographer

"This one goes out to all the ladies" said Camden in his sweet voice. Doesn't it just look he could be saying those words? I love putting words in babies mouths. Just give me a thought bubble sticker and some cute baby pictures and my mind starts racing. :) I'm going to miss this mister cutie and his sweet family. It's been super fun seeing them every 3 months over the last year. He is off and running and there is no stopping him now! :) Happy 1st Birthday, Camden!

piece of sunshine | michiana baby photographer

I was greeted with a full-face smile just as soon as momma brought this piece of sunshine down from her morning nap. The kind of smile that is too much to keep your head still. Melt my heart. She is just a gorgeous baby girl that is loved to the moon and back. I cannot get enough of those sweet eyelashes that hug the bottom of her eyelid. Precious! Momma and I were daydreaming of her next Baby Step which will fall in June. Ahh, summer...


blessed off | mishawaka, in photographer

It's not my birthday or New Years. It's not even Thanksgiving or JHP's birthday but I am feeling grateful today. Grateful for the blessing that Jenny Hoke Photography has been to me and my family. And all those whom it has touched. So, at the risk of leaving someone unmentioned, I am going to go ahead and name some names.

I'm thankful for my inlaws who bought me my first DSLR and in doing so "taught me how to fish". I'm grateful to my father-in-law who sat out on my patio time after time that summer and explained (and reexplained) (and re-reexplained) all he knew about photography. I'm thankful for those friends who kept nudging me towards this. And my dad, mom and my sister, Hilary, who proof-read my beginning words as I launched my business. I'm thankful to my other sister, Amber, and her family who allowed me to photograph their cute faces. I'm thankful for my beautiful daughters who are my favorite things to photograph. My biggest cheerleader, Matt. For the support and confidence. Love and inspiration. To my board members. Yes, I do have a board. Well...unofficially official. I turn to them with questions and decisions that need to be made. Opinions and gut feelings. To my early fans who jumped on this bandwagon and set the pace. To each one of my clients (turned friends) for trusting me with your memories. To each of you for stopping by and sharing the love. And most importantly to God who deserves all the glory. I am nothing without Him and the gifts that He has given me.

Seriously...the socks are off. Blessed off!

goal | goshen baby photographer

Isn't he absolutely precious?! I am in love with those tiny little fingers pointing to the sky seeming to signal..."GOAL!" I just know that Momma is going hear that term a thousand times as she watches her 3 boys grow together. Little boys just do not come cuter (more cute) than this, folks. Darling. Delightful. And fun. I'm so glad that I get to visit this beautiful family's home 3 more times this year. Cannot wait!

baby bear | middlebury baby photographer

Seriously? This is what "work" looks like to me, folks. My goodness. I am blessed. He's a cutie, that much is true. I just knew that he'd be sitting up at 6 months, just like his beautiful big sister was at her 6 month Baby Step session. How fun to have a second go round with this fabulous family. Thanks for being so cute, Baby Bear. And thanks for a fun session!

champ | south bend baby photographer

This sweeter than pie 3 month old is a tummy time champ. I was so impressed with how well he held up his wobbly head. He had us crackin' up, though. He'd offer these giant smiles. But I had to be quick, because they were like 1 second smiles. He was definitely playing games with me. But when you are this cute, you get a free pass in the arcade. Thanks for a fun session guys!

new no.2 | goshen newborn photographer

Just a few more sneaks of this precious baby boy. I've said it before but there is definitely something special in the air when I arrive at a home with a newborn baby. It's sweet, soft and precious. And I absolutely love it. Congratulations, family. He's the perfect addition to your sweet family.

sharing the love

Want to know what makes my day?? Last week when I checked my inbox in the morning, I was greeted with the thoughtful words below. It most definitely made my day. It was music to my ears, in fact. I can't tell you how much it means to me to be invited in...invited in to see your lives and love through my lens. Thank you, Julie, for taking the time to send your words of gratitude like several of you have. Big, happy, inspired smiles here.

"Jenny, We got the disk the other day. LOVE them, as does everyone else that sees them! They're so good and we have so enjoyed having you spend time with our family and document our growth :) You have such a great way of just fitting in and allowing our girls and us, to be relaxed and to 'just be'. Hope we can see you again next year! Thanks again, Julie"

Some fun Valentine's pictures with my sweet Valentine's.

It's time to celebrate! This handsome boy has turned 1! I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed working with this cutie this year. I mean, who wouldn't...just look at that face. And mom always has him looking super cute. Don't you just love those little boy boat shoes?!

to the moon and back | mishawaka family photographer!

Meet my sweet friend, Alice, and her beautiful family. If you've met Alice you know that she doesn't do anything half way. She pours herself into everything she sets out to do. Including her family. She loves them fiercely...to the moon and back a million-zillion times. So I was thrilled when I got the chance to work with her and her beloved family. And I'm pretty thrilled with the sunlit snowy pictures that resulted! Thank you, Alice. It was a pleasure!

beautiful child | granger baby photographer

Sorry this post is going up a little late, but Baby K's daddy will be happy to know that Mr. Jenny Hoke Photography was tying up the computer while he worked from home on this snow day. It's always a pleasure to visit this adorable baby girl. She had a few smiles for me when I first arrived and in spite of giving it the old college try she preferred a more serious look for her 9 month photo shoot. She's a beautiful child any way you look at it. So smile or no smile, I think this session was a winner! See you in three short months!

warm and sunny? | south bend family photographer

No, we didn't fly down to the warm and sunny South. Is it even warm and sunny in the South these days?? I met up with this gorgeous family at our very own Potawatomi Conservatories, after rescheduling our first session due to the 3 ft of snow that got dumped on South Bend earlier this month. It's always a bummer to have to reschedule, but I tell my clients that it will be worth the wait. And it was true, again, in this case. Totally worth the wait!

I absolutely love what this family put together in terms of coordinating their outfits. Don't they look sharp?! It may take a few trips to the mall to get it right, but it's so worth the extra effort.

Loved my time spent with you guys! Thanks for a fun session!
