heart of gold | goshen family photographer

Happy Friday!!  This family?  I just love them.  The adorable kids.  The adorable outfits.  Gorgeous mom and dad.  Their hearts of gold.  ;)  Seriously, such a pleasure to work with amazing family like this one.

Happy 10TH Anniversary, friends!  You've made something beautiful.

 

2014 - it's going to be a good one | mishawaka family photographer

I am trying to figure out why the calendar says that it is January 16 already??  Just over half way through the first month in 2014.  These images were taken on a chilly night way back in November.  I haven't shared them before because some of them were used for Christmas gifts.  Did you have a good Christmas?  New Years?  And extended Winter Break?  The Hokes love Snow Days.  Mr Hoke moonlights as a meteorologist.  Not really.  But he loves to keep us updated on any and all snow that is headed our way.  Our motto is "If it is going to be cold, it might as well snow...and look pretty."

So 2014.  It's going to be a good one.  I have my first session of the year under my belt.  Last week, I met with the most handsome little one.  You will be seeing some sneak peeks of Baby Sam very soon.  I'm looking forward to some Baby Steps next week.  One new one.  One who has mastered sitting up.  And one graduate.  

I still have a handful of openings sprinkled through out the first months of the year.  January - April 2014.  I am getting new inquiries every day so they are sure to fill soon.  Email me right away if you're interested in grabbing one of those openings.  More info can be found under the tabs above.  Schedule.  Investment.  I will begin scheduling Summer 2014 - May through August in early March, so mark your calendars and stay tuned for the date announcement.  As always, if you have questions just shoot me an email.  I love to hear from you.  And I LOVE working with Michiana's most fabulous families. 

quick hello | mishawaka family photographer

Hi, friends!  I'm just stopping by to say a quick hello.  The stockings are hung.  The tree is trimmed.  Cookies are being baked...and eaten.  And most importantly, we are preparing our hearts to celebrate the Greatest Gift ever given.

Need a last minute gift?  I offer JHP gift certificates in any amount and they can even be emailed.  Print, tie with a pretty red ribbon and it's under the tree just in time.  I have a handful of openings scattered throughout January - April.  I'd love to do a snowy session with you or even a fun indoor lifestyle session right in your home.  It's all about the memories!! :)

These evergreen cuties are such a joy!  I count it such a priveledge to watch them grow through my lens.  I'm keeping most of their session underwraps since it 'tis the season. ;)

My ten year olds.  In their papa's wheat field.  Matilda Jane. With curls in their hair.  Golden hour.  My heart just might burst.

fall 2013 opening | michiana photographer

IMPORTANT!!  Mark you calendars for JHP's Fall Opening on Monday, July 8TH.  This is the day that I will begin scheduling September through November 2013 sessions.  More details to follow, but this Opening will go much like the ones in the past.  Follow THIS link for details on the last Opening.  Summer sessions are off to a great start.  I am continually blown away by the beautiful people that I get to work with.  You guys always show up looking amazing and the kids.  Your darling kids.  My heart is so full. :)

I wanted to dig up some fall photos and these are some of my faves!  My girls, Reagan and Reilly, in their Matilda Jane.
