4 years | michiana family and baby photographer

These guys have been around JHP for 4 years.  4 years!  It's been that long since we meet on the campus of Notre Dame for Lexi's 1st Communion session.  I can't tell you how much fun it's been watching these beautiful girls grow and blossom through those four years.  And late last year this family grew and blossomed a beautiful baby sister!!  Isn't she the cutest little thing?!  Such a happy, laid-back gal.  I loved my time spent with you guys.  Loved it!  Can't wait to see you again this summer.  Hopefully it will stop snowing by then.  ;)

happy, happy | osceola baby photographer

How cute is this little one?!  Such a fun age.  He definitely found his happy place when we stripped him down to his diaper and sat him on mom and dad's comfy bed.  Happy, happy.  Thanks for a fun session, friends!!  I'm still smiling. ☺

Baby Step Graduate alert!  My heart just about bursts when I get to revisit our special babies.  We've been watching this sweetheart grow for four years already.  Anna is such a doll and she did a super job.  Now won't you help me with her a happy fourth birthday?!

When we met earlier this week, her momma reminded me of one of her favorite JHP sessions.  Click HERE to see which one.  It was a good one! {wink}

Grandma came to town.  And I love that it warranted an email to schedule a photography session.  We found warmth, natural light and green at the Potawatomi Conservatories and that made all of us happy.  Thanks for a fun session, friends.  It was wonderful to spend my morning with you!

I don't want to make you wait any longer for this sneak peek.  My week has gotten away from me but I'll save you my excuses.  This sweetheart traveled from Chicago and is our newest Baby Stepper!!  I said on fb that I don't think I have seen a better dressed three month old.  I'm in love with this "cardigan" and bowtie.  So glad to him in the family.  ;)  I'm already looking forward to our next session and cannot wait to see what momma has him dressed in.  I just know it's going to be fabulous.  Thanks for a fun session!!

Happy Birthday Puddin' Pie.  Oh she was cautious of me and my camera.  But in the end a little patty cake with brother and mommy did the trick.  She's gorgeous whether she's smiling big or being cautious.  Those stunning blue eyes and those chubby cheeks...baby perfection.  Thanks, friends, for another amazing Baby Step year.  Where does the time go?

happy | mishawaka baby photographer

Friends, as of about one hour ago I am back in business.  Such a relief.  It appears that while our neighbors were getting hooked up with their new cable and internet service, the technicians disrupted our service on accident.  Good grief.  Four days later and I've gotten mostly caught up on all work (that I could do without internet) and a clean refrigerator.  So there's that. :)

And...there is this kid.  Cute as can be.  He was happy the minute his mom brought him down from his nap, until I walked out the door.  Which in turn, made me happy for the rest of the day.  Thanks so much for a fun session!  I'm already looking forward to your one year session!

Are you ready for Sunday?  At 5PM the fun begins.  Click HERE for more info on JHP's Summer 2013 Opening Day.
