such a joy | mishawaka children's photographer



Oh, this girl.  She is something special.  So sweet.  And fun.  And clever.  It's been such a treat to watch my friend, Jamie, become a momma.  When Briar fell and skinned her knee during the session, all it took was some love from momma.  I love that.  My heart officially melted when Briar sat next to me and snuggled up while Jamie ran back to the car for something.  Her precious hand resting on my leg.  Happy three years, Briar.  You are such a joy!

Hey!  Did you notice that Jenny Hoke Photography placed 2nd in South Bend Tribune's Reader's Choice Awards?  How cool is that?!  A million thank yous to all of you!!!

summer evening | granger family photographer


Won't you help me welcome this beautiful family to the blog.  We met up on a gorgeous summer evening at the park.  It was such a pleasure to meet and get to know them a bit during the session.  Just look at those beautiful eyes!


what a dollbaby | granger baby photographer


This precious girl is the third Baby Step member of her cute little family.  It's such a joy to not only watch her grow through my lens, but an added bonus...I get to watch her two big brothers each time we meet for a session.  These people are such good people.  With huge hearts.  It's a honor to call them friends.  I only wish that you could hear the happy noises she's making.  What a dollbaby!

at the park | mishawaka family photographer


Love, love, this family.  When I was working on this post, I had to search for the right session because there was so many.  I've had the pleasure of working with them during my entire run with JHP, so I think this marks the fifth family session. It's always a pleasure.  And do you know what else is great?  Whenever I see them around town, I always get hugs.  I love the connections JHP creates.  And I love that this family has a beautiful record of their family, the childrens' childhood, their growth, the love with their photo sessions with JHP.

so much beauty | south bend family photographer



Hi, friends!  Summer is just whizzing by, isn't it?!  It's been so good.  This stunning family beach session will go down as one of my favs this summer.  I love the colors they chose and how it contrasts with the colors of the beach.  I love watching these beautiful girls grow up.  And you all I know I have a soft spot for twins.

Thanks for being patient with emails and questions.  With my girls home from school this summer, I am trying to soak it up as much as possible.  And besides shooting, I am holding part time office/computer hours.

I hope you're having a super summer.  Even with the cooler weather, there is so much beauty around us.  I love that we can go from Indiana corn fields, to the cool alley ways of downtown South Bend and within an hour's drive find ourselves at the majestic Lake Michigan.  Stay tuned for some more sneak peeks coming this week!

down on the farm | nappanee family photographer


I always look forward to this session.  If you've been around awhile, you will recognize these cutiepie faces.  I love that we stayed home and captured them in the corn fields, in the treeline across the street, and with the tractor.  Down on the farm.

SCHEDULING UPDATE:  You guys continue to blow me away!  My calendar is now booked through the end of this year.  THANK YOU!!  It's going to be a great fall season, too.  Remember to get your deposits in.  They are due tomorrow, (Thursday, July 17) to secure your spot on the calendar.  Otherwise, your appointment may be given to others who are interested.  We will begin scheduling January through April 2015 sessions in early November.
