Summer 2013, Opening Day | mishawaka photographer

Summer. Summer. Summertime.  I'm getting excited just thinking about SUMMER 2013.  I'm trying something different this time around.  JHP's Opening Day will take place this SUNDAY AFTERNOON.  Other than the time change, this opening will run much like those in the past.  Interested in grabbing a spot for a summer family session, you'll find what you need to know below.  One other thing to note:  I am moving my image deliver to digital downloads.  Rather than getting a disk in the mail, you will be sent a link where with a click of a button you can download your entire session onto your computer.  Easy peasy.  Image disks will be available for $50. 

OPENING DAY DETAILS:

• I will begin scheduling limited May through August 2013 appointments via email on Sunday, March 3 @ 5PM.  
• This opening will be OPEN TO EVERYONE.  Existing clients and those new to JHP!
• At 5PM sharp on Sunday afternoon:  email me with your interest, weekday/weekend preference, month preference, who will be photographed, package choice, location thoughts, etc.  I will respond with possible dates and times and you will respond with your choice.  I will respond in the order I receive the emails but will confirm with those who reply first. 
• Be sure to provide and email address that you have easy access to that afternoon/evening.
• Current prices found under investment tab.  Please note that there is no price increase at this time but I am moving to digital downloads rather than a disk sent in the mail.  If you would still like to purchase a disk, they are available for an additional $50.
• A $50 non-refundable deposit is due to confirm every appointment (excluding follow-up Baby Step appointments).  The deposit is due WITHIN 10 DAYS, after which I will open the date to others interested.
• The next opening will take place in July for September through November 2013.
• In the past, these openings have filled very fast.  Please follow all the steps to better your odds at securing a session.  And please feel free to email me with any questions you have before Sunday.

I am grateful every day for YOU!  It fills my heart right up, to work with you and your beautiful families every week.  It's a treat to help you document and capture your family memories.  You are a blessing to my family and myself.  So three cheers for YOU!

addison claire | middlebury baby photographer

Addison Claire is just a pretty as her name.  She's a beautiful little girl and joins beautiful family.  A match made in heaven.  It was such a treat to visit with her family earlier this week.  This family is a true Baby Step family.  I've had the privilege of photographing each of these kiddos through their first year.  I am so excited to watch Addison grow through her first year.  It's an extra bonus that these cute kiddos will be along for the ride.

stole the show | south bend children's photographer

Not gonna lie.   This kid kinda stole the show.  He was a rock star during our time together.  Could not be more CUTE if he tried.  Actually, if I'm being completely honest.  This whole bunch is off the charts in the cute department.  We met to celebrate in pictures this guy's 3rd Birthday and Baby Sister's 18 month milestone.  Of course, we couldn't leave out big sister.  You'll find a quick picture of her below and one year ago on the banner at the top of this page.  Time flies when you're having fun.  And I for one and having a blast.  Especially when I get to work with cutie kids like these.  Thanks for a great session, friends!

REMINDER:  JHP's Summer Opening Day is just around the corner.  Mark your calendars for the beginning of March.  More details to follow.  

snowy | nappanee family photographer

I was so happy to get outside for a snowy session, though, not everyone shared my excitement.  Help me with a Happy Birthday to this gentleman pictured above.  He was in countdown mode when we met.  "In four days..."  Thanks, guys.  It was great to see you.

peach | goshen baby photographer

We have another Baby Step graduate on our hands, folks.  It's amazing how fast twelve months can fly.  This peach has blossomed into something beautiful and the good thing...the wonderful, beautiful thing is that she's only just begun.  Thanks for a year full of special memories, family.  It's been a pleasure.  Blessings to you all!

graham | granger family photographer

Welcome to the world, baby Graham.  As soon as I laid eyes on this one, I was hooked.  He's a gorgeous baby boy.  And that hair?!  I loved my time spent with this sweet family and I'm so looking forward to watching Graham grow through his first year of life.  Aren't you?  Big Sister is one of our own Baby Step graduates.  Did you recognize her? 

one blessing after another | goshen baby photographer

One blessing after another. John 1:16.  

This verse has held special meaning to me since my twins were born.  I think it definitely fits here, too.  My goodness these kids are beautiful.  All three boys and their new little bundle of pink.  This is the 3rd baby in the family to go through our Baby Steps.  How lucky are we to watch them grow like this?! Sweet baby Sage is the perfect addition to this crew.  She is 100% precious.  I cannot get enough of these guys.  The dashing good looks from the boys.  This perfect chubby bundle of sleepiness from Baby Sage.  All of it.  Thank you so much, friends, for allowing me and my lens to be a part of your lives.  

p.s.  Happy 2nd Birthday, Oliver!!

he's a charmer | granger baby photographer

Mr. Handsome is third in his family to go through Baby Steps.  I am certain his older sisters will give him tips on how to make the most of his photo sessions.  This guy?  He's a charmer. He told me some good stories and he didn't hold back on the good parts.  My heart melts into a puddle when these little ones break into storytime in the middle of time together.  Sweetest thing ever.  Thanks for a fun session, friends.  I'll see you again in a few months.
