storyteller | south bend baby photographer

It's a happy day at JHP.  Won't you help me welcome this precious bebe to the Baby Steps Family.  Isn't he the sweetest thing?!  He knew just what to do to melt my heart and make me smile.  The stories.  He told the  best stories.  I can't wait to hear more when we meet again.  Thanks, friends.  It was wonderful to meet you and your new bundle.

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.  ;)

bowtie | michiana baby photographer

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!!

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.

who's he looking at | granger baby and family photographers

This beautiful boy and his dark brown eyes is baby brother to one of our sweet Baby Step Graduates.  You'll see her in the images below and you'll also see that she is pretty excited to be a Big Sister.  Can you guess who he's looking at??  He only had eyes for his pretty momma.  He's smitten.  And I would dare to say that the feeling is mutual. Thanks for a fun session, friends.  I'm excited to see you again in three months!

*If I was doing this correctly, the title should read "at whom is he looking."  Am I right?  That "at" at the end is throwing up red flags.  Good thing there is not an English test today! :)

how cute | granger family photographer

Hi, friends!  It's Friday night and I'm posting a sneak peek??  Not my usual working hours but the Hokes are busy!  We are preparing for a super fun 9th birthday party for the twins, the last day of school for this year is on Tuesday, and it's Memorial Day weekend.  Wow.  Lots of fun going on, but I know this momma is anxious to see her family.  And how cute are they??  So with that I'll bid you goodnight.  Have a great weekend everyone!

Now scheduling THUMB OF MICHIGAN sessions.  July 2 - 7, 2012.  Email me for more details!!

Three cheers for our newest Baby Stepper!  At 3 months old, she's smiling and cooing.  She's definitely mastered being cute.  She has a pretty great big sister to help her learn the ropes.  And mom says she's an all around super baby.  I'm so thankful I get to watch her grow this year.  Enjoy every minute of it, guys.  Thanks for a fun session!

baby toes | elkhart photographers

This adorable family, so added 10 new cute baby toes to their numbers. Clara was born in August and just like her Big Sis jumped on the Baby Step Train when we met up last weekend. She is a DOLLbaby! Just the cutest thing. As I sat at my computer to edit, I just wanted to reach right in and pinch (softly of course) those plump baby cheeks. I cannot wait to watch this pumpkin grow! Thanks for a fun session, guys!

Thanks, also, for being patient in waiting for this sneak peek. Computers...love 'em/hate 'em. But we're back in business now so stayed tuned for more!

swirl | nappanee baby photographer

Do you see that magnificent little swirl right at the top of this little boy's head? Momma said she noticed it right away when he was born. Those are the things that just melt my heart. That and those darling dimples. My goodness....sweetness abounds. I could not be more happy to welcome this pumpkin to JHP's Baby Steps. Can't wait to watch you grow!

champ | south bend baby photographer

This sweeter than pie 3 month old is a tummy time champ. I was so impressed with how well he held up his wobbly head. He had us crackin' up, though. He'd offer these giant smiles. But I had to be quick, because they were like 1 second smiles. He was definitely playing games with me. But when you are this cute, you get a free pass in the arcade. Thanks for a fun session guys!

the award goes to | middlebury baby photographer

I have got to give this delightful young man the official award for the Absolute Smiliest (yes, it's a word) 3 month old. Ever. In history. Go ahead an check and you will not find a smiley-er (yes, it's a word) 3 month old around. Oh, and those smiles will melt your heart. One hundred percent genuine CUTE! He totally hit his 3 month old session out of the park. Thanks for a fun visit, guys!

That pretty little thing sitting on mom's lap? She was one of our very own Baby Steppers. What a doll!

so happy together | nappanee baby photographer

Meet our newest Baby Stepper and his gorgeous Momma. I love these sweet images we got from this Wednesday session. Momma and son. Have a wonderful holiday weekend, friends.

sunflower baby | granger baby photographer

Gorgeous family alert!! Say hello to our newest Baby Stepper. She is a doll! Isn't she?! Mr. jennyhoke photography works with her daddy. I was so excited to meet up with her and her beautiful parents for a some picture takin'. She was a star with a capital S. Full of smiles and personality the entire time. (A Baby Step session usually takes about one hour or less. Any longer than that and the babies let me know that they have had enough. I can't stand to make the little ones miserable so I don't push much beyond that.) Thanks for having me, family. I'm so excited to watch her grow this year.

those eyes | mishawaka baby photographer

Crazy busy today, so I'll be short and sweet on the next few posts. Meet our newest Baby Stepper. He's 4 months old and is "amazing" according to his mom. After meeting him, I'd have to agree! Those eyes just about do me in.

two by two | bremen baby and family photographer

Twins!! jennyhoke photography's first set of twins! I can't tell you how excited I am to welcome these precious soul's to the jhp family. Twins hold a special place in my heart (I'm the proud Momma of my very own set.). These two cuties were much anticipated and definitely much loved! I'm so looking forward to watching these babies grow this year through the Baby Steps. Come along for the show! Check back in 3 months! (I hope you'll check back before that, but you know what I mean.) Thanks, family, for spending a part of your day with me.
