kind as they are cute | michiana family photographer

How cute is this family?  They are as kind as they are cute and I always love getting them in front of my camera.  All four of these cutiepie kids are Baby Step graduates!!

It's been a little sleepy around here.  Both here on this blogsite and over at Jenny Hoke Photography Facebook.  Rest assured, it's been anything BUT SLEEPY behind the scenes.  Real life is so full right now.  And my camera is clicking away.  I hope to play catch up and share some of these sessions with you.  Lots of gems like the one below that you just need to see!

While my fall schedule is full, I have been getting some inquires for the coming winter/spring season.  I will open my January through April 2017 calendar on Monday, November 7.  Shoot me an email with any questions.

does it get any better? | granger, south bend, mishawaka baby family photographer

Does it get any better?! This little one is 100% adorable. Thanks for a fun one year session, Sam&Co. It has been a blast watching you grow through your first year of life.  More from his cute session coming soon.

Friends, I'm getting some inquiries for summer sessions. As a reminder, I will begin scheduling SUMMER 2015 (YES, think warm summer thoughts!!) on Monday, March 9. In the meantime, I do have a handful of March and April session openings. Send me an email to get on the calendar. I'd love to work with you!!

so glad | south bend baby photographer

Vivi, I am so glad you were a part of the Baby Steps program.  It's been such a treat to watch you grow.  

oh my heart | south bend baby photographer

Guys, another Baby Step graduate.  Oh my heart. ;)  I so much love watching you babies grow during your first year.  Each time we meet, you've changed so much.  Learning to sit, and clap.  New teeth...or tooth.  Surrounded by love.  Oh, I love it.  And I really love images like the one above a happy, secure baby surrounded by her parent's loving arms.  Happy Birthday, sweet Hailey.

a great combination | south bend baby photographer

 I just love these kids.  So much personality.  And so cute.  It's a great combination.  This blue-eyed one above is now a Baby Step Graduation following in his big brothers footsteps.  What a fun year of growth it's been.  Thanks for letting me tag along!

watching you grow | south bend photographer

This darling (one of our early Baby Steppers) has turned 5!!  She's such a pumpkin with so much personality.  Anna Banana I'm loving watching you grow.

In other news, we are outside.  Despite the snow that fell last night, Spring has arrived in Michiana.  It's been just warm enough for us to begin holding session outdoors and I'm cheering with the rest of you!!!  Stay tuned for some more outdoor sessions.

This sweetiepie turned has turned one!  And that means she has graduated from our Baby Steps.  Just like her brothers she was a joy to watch grow through her first year.  And just like most gals I know...put a cupcake in front of her and she will SMILE!!  Thanks for a great year, friends!

going places | mishawaka baby photographer

Sigh.  Another Baby Step Graduation.  It is such a privilege to watch these little ones grow.  An extra privilege here, as her older sister and brother are also Baby Step graduates.  This little one is full of spunk and happiness.  And she is going places! She's CUTE, too.  Thanks for a wonderful year of photos, friends.

in good company | granger baby and family photographer

This handsome guy is officially a Baby Step Graduate.  It has been such a fun year watching him grow.  He is off and running and I know he's going places.  He is in good company with Baby Step Alumni/Big Sister around.  Thanks for a great year, friends.  It's been a pleasure working with your beautiful family.

happy girl | south bend baby photographer

I love, love these simple sessions.  Give me a cutiepie kid.  A bed.  And a big window and I am a happy girl.  The cutie with the pig tail?  She is one of our beloved Baby Steppers and because she is moving across the country we needed to get this session in pronto.  So happy to have met these sweet people and  I wish them many blessings in their newest adventure.

Oh boy!  Do I love working with these cutiepie kids.  Love it.  I'm always certain to get a bunch of stunning soulful images as well as some shining smiles.  And again, these kids kill me with their attempts to say my name.  Melt.my.heart.right on the spot.  Thanks for another fun and fabulous session, friends.  I'm already looking forward to next time. ;)
