cutie cousins | granger family photographer

While it's a crazy April blizzard outside my window right now, I am going to go ahead and share these fun cousin pictures from last fall.  I saved them because they we ordered a big canvas for my parents for Christmas.  Here's hoping this blizzard is the last hoorah and we'll be back to regular programming tomorrow. ;)

JHP would not be where it is today without all of you!! I'm so looking forward to a great 2016!! And I hope this gorgeous SUNSHINE sticks around awhile. ;)

raise your hand | mishawaka children's photographer

Raise your hand if you're ready for summer.  If you are hoping to get on JHP's Summer schedule - May through August.  You will want to mark you're calendar for Monday, March 3 @ 9AM sharp.  I will announce the details on Monday.

We recently painted the girl's bedrooms.  Reilly choose Berry Cheesecake which is a peachy pink and Reagan chose Spa which is a aqua color.  We LOVE them both!  But it was a great opportunity for a quick little mini sesh with their new Matilda Jane Clothing.  It happened to be close to Valentine's Day so we threw a few hearts into the mix.  Love is in the air!

Happy Weekend, friends!  I'm loving this sunshine.  The wind...not so much.

monday, march 3rd | michiana photographer

Mark your calendars.  Monday, March 3rd is Opening Day around here.  JHP will begin accepting SUMMER 2014 sessions at 9AM sharp.  Scheduling May through August sessions.  More details to come but feel free to email with questions.

snowy | mishawaka children's photographer

This happened in three and half minutes the other day.  Wearing their clothes from school, we combed their hair and ran to the backyard.  A quick snowy session.  I love the look of snowy sessions.  Hats and scarfs.  Chilly, silly cute smiles.  Hope you are keeping warm on these bitter cold days!  
**NOW SCHEDULING JANUARY THROUGH APRIL 2014**

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!! :)

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. :)
