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.

Hey, ya'll!  We are back from our Seabrook Island, SC vacation.  It was just as amazing as we remembered.  These cuties are pretty amazing, too, though.  We met up for Adelyn's final Baby Step session and the twins birthday session.  Thanks for a fun walk around the park, friends!

beautiful evening

I'm so fortunate to work with such amazing families.  This is the second time I've worked with the Kramer family.  Another perfectly beautiful evening at the park.  Sigh.  :)

This kid?  He stirs up all sorts of memories for me.  My very first JHP client.  As a newborn baby.  He's turning seven this fall.   So JHP is turning seven, too.  What a ride this has been.  A wonderful, blessed, crazy ride.  It's always such a pleasure to work with this family.  Thanks for a great session and thanks for the memories.  :)

You remember these kids.  Don't you?  The three younger ones are Baby Step Alumni.  And the oldest?  Well, he's an honorary member, for sure.  ;) I always look forward to their session!!  Such a treat to work with these cutiekids.

hooray! | south bend, granger, mishawaka baby photographer

Hooray for birthdays!  Hooray for Baby Step Graduates! Hooray for walking!  Hoorays all around! :)  This sweet boy has already celebrated his first birthday.  He is such a joy.  Those blue eyes.  That mischevious grin.  Loved my time spent with him and his beautiful family this year.
