little ben | south bend family photographer

Here's an early Monday morning post for you.   Little Ben is such a riot.  This is the third time that I've photographed him and it's always a fun time.  He makes us work for his smiles but they are 100% worth the effort.  Such a handsome little man.  I especially like the one above with the pinecone.  I call it GQbaby.  Thank, friends, it was great to see you again.  Happy 3rd Birthday, Benny!

Who says you can't have fun at the beach on a chilly spring day?!  Aren't my new friends just made for the beach?  They are just darling.  Little beach models. Thanks for a fun session, guys.  These pictures definitely have me itching for summertime. 

JHP ANNOUNCEMENT:  I have plans to be in the THUMB OF MICHIGAN THE 1ST WEEK OF JULY. I'd love to take on a few sessions. Message me with your interest and we'll go from there. Thanks!!

Allow me to introduce to you my new favorite 11 year old!  I love this kid.  I don't want to say too much and embarrass him.  But let me just tell you that in the short amount of time that I spent with him and his awesome parents, I could tell he was something special.  I had a great time with my new friends on Saturday morning.  The sun was shining.  The trains were looking colorful and fun.  The boy...well you already know how I feel about him.  And the parents?  Super cool.  Thanks, guys, for a super fun session.

This beautiful little girl felt most secure in her daddy's arms.  And I can't think of a better place for her to be at the moment.  It's been such a pleasure to watch this family grow.  They are just some of the sweetest, most genuine folks you will find. :) Oh and I can't leave without mentioning that Audrey is one of own of Baby Step graduates.  Don't you just love watching these little ones grow?  HERE she is at 1!  Thanks for being awesome, friends!

Won't you please help me welcome our newest Baby Stepper to the blog.  It was such a sweet privilege to spend part of my morning with this new little one and his beautiful momma.  I cannot wait to watch him grow this year.  His momma said that he was such a good baby and I can attest to that.  Thanks for a great session!  See you in a few months!

Little boys in their Easter outfits are one of my favorite things.  So cute.  Little Lucas is 9 months old already.  Amazing, isn't it?  He had apparently decided that he was going to go with the grin for his session, no big mouth smiles for this chap.   I like a 9 month old guy who knows what he wants and follows through. :)

A little stay-cation Spring Break fun kept me from getting these up sooner but here they are!! :)  It was such a treat to meet Miss Reagan and her momma.  I think this may have been the very first time that I've photographed another child with the same name as one of my girls.  This cutie girl is as sweet as they come and was in such a happy mood.  The sun was shining bright and it was just an all around super session.  Thanks, new friends!  And Happy 8 Months to Reagan!
