A perfect fall evening.  A beautiful family.  Fun kids.  And some tickles.  All makes for a super session.  Thanks, friends!

Here's Johnny.  I'm making my smile with that Johnny Carson bit...I'm also showing my age. ;)  You all know that we're big on family at JHP.  Well, this handsome gent is my hubby's cousin's son.  Follow?  His dad (and mom) are pretty proud of him and when his dad (my hubby's cousin) told me that "He's a good kid."  I already knew it.  It was a pleasure to work with you.  God bless you as you finish your last year of high school and then take on the world.

I think I was smiling just as big back at them during our session.  Aren't these a bunch of beautiful smiles?!  We had a beautiful walk around campus last week.  I'm not sure if it was me and my goofy antics or the fact that these kiddos just arrived home from visiting Mickey.  I'll take it either way.  Thanks for a super fun session, friends!  It's always wonderful to see you.    

 

 

steal my heart | granger children's photographer

The boys are growing up!  Both of these darling boys are Baby Step Graduates, and now they are celebrating 18 months and 3 years!  I was lucky enough to picnic with these guys and their cute momma and daddy after we finished our session where the boys continued to steal my heart.  The big bro?  He packed a snack for me and even labeled the sandwich bag with my name.  Sigh.

I love it when my sessions take me down those dirt roads out into the country.  I love being surrounded by corn fields and the late summer evening sun.  And I love meeting super cute families like this one.  If you were there, you would have heard lots of laughing, a little fun nature-d teasing, and you would have seen a lot of love.  Thank you for letting me capture that love through my lens.

Thank goodness for sweet, happy faces like this one to keep my Baby Step fix going.  Between these gorgeous blue eyes and her happy, happy grin (that was especially for her big sis) we were good to go.  Big Sister is just a doll, too.  With her beautiful, thick brown hair and darling freckles.  I think I first photographed her when she was 3? Is that right, Mom?  And now she's celebrating 7 years old!!  Thanks for another fun session, friends!  Oh, those blue eyes ;)

p.s.  Mud Pie.  It's the brand name of that cute ice cream cone tutu dress above.

Those babies who had their meeting?  This darling was one of them.  Happy Birthday, Clara Kate!  And Happy Baby Step Graduation!  It has been so fun watching you grow this year.  Big sister, Macy (Baby Step Graduate) is now celebrating her 3RD birthday.  What?!  I just love you guys and count it a privilege to watch you grow through my lens.  Thank you so much!!

 

 

a meeting | bremen baby photographer

I'm pretty sure that the babies had a meeting.  A meeting to discuss having their 1st birthday parties all at the same time and graduating from JHP's Baby Steps all. at. the. same. time.  It's almost more than my sentimental heart can bear.  They are all just growing on up.  Which, of course, is amazing and awesome.  But it's also a little hard on the heart.  Of course, though, we wouldn't want to have it any other way. So with that...Happy 1st Birthday, Cory!  Those blue eyes will take you far.  I'm sure of it. ;)

he's a champ | south bend photographer

Help me welcome this almost-one-year-old and his cute family to the JHP family.  He was a champ when we met up earlier this week.  The blue eyes just did it for me.  So cute.  Thanks for a fun session.  And thanks for being a champ, Lucas!

I just LOVE these girls.  They are over the top adorable and they are my beloved Baby Steppers...all three of them.  I've got to run out the door to pick up my beloved girls from school but let me sum it up.  They are awesome.  Their momma is awesome and is hooking me up with my very own Scentsy Pumpkin Warmer.  And their daddy and big brother are pretty awesome, too.
