warm | granger family photographer

Another pro to having such mild weather in the month of December, is outdoor photo sessions without thick winter jackets!!  We certainly lucked out when we planned to meet after church for a quick session while big brother was home from college.  Thanks for a fun (quick) session, friends!

full of life | south bend family photographer

 

So clever and so full of wit.  That's what I said on Facebook when I posted the first sneak peek.  From what I can tell, these pictures capture this amazing kid perfectly.  He is so full of life.  And I love it.  Thanks for another super fun session.  I love catching up with you guys during our annual walk around the park. ;)

Almost forgot, Christopher is one of beloved Baby Steppers.  Is he 5 now, Courtney?  Time flies!

you get the idea | wakarusa family photographer

Beautiful setting.  Beautiful people.  Light rain??  Can you believe that?  We actually began the session in light rain.  Not sure how but it worked.  Somehow.  Thanks for another terrific session.  Sasha, you and your parents, are super-great-fantastic-wonderful-terrific-stunning...you get the idea. ;)

such a joy | mishawaka children's photographer

Oh, this girl.  She is something special.  So sweet.  And fun.  And clever.  It's been such a treat to watch my friend, Jamie, become a momma.  When Briar fell and skinned her knee during the session, all it took was some love from momma.  I love that.  My heart officially melted when Briar sat next to me and snuggled up while Jamie ran back to the car for something.  Her precious hand resting on my leg.  Happy three years, Briar.  You are such a joy!

Hey!  Did you notice that Jenny Hoke Photography placed 2nd in South Bend Tribune's Reader's Choice Awards?  How cool is that?!  A million thank yous to all of you!!!

down on the farm | nappanee family photographer

I always look forward to this session.  If you've been around awhile, you will recognize these cutiepie faces.  I love that we stayed home and captured them in the corn fields, in the treeline across the street, and with the tractor.  Down on the farm.

SCHEDULING UPDATE:  You guys continue to blow me away!  My calendar is now booked through the end of this year.  THANK YOU!!  It's going to be a great fall season, too.  Remember to get your deposits in.  They are due tomorrow, (Thursday, July 17) to secure your spot on the calendar.  Otherwise, your appointment may be given to others who are interested.  We will begin scheduling January through April 2015 sessions in early November.

It is such a treat to watch Sasha grow.  She's quite a gal and mom always has the cutest outfits picked out for her.  Imagine traipsing around Michiana's most beautiful locations with this darling little girl.  Swoon.

seriously great | granger photographer

I think I'm still smiling from spending time with these amazing kids.  I've been watching them grow through my lens for several years now and meeting with them is a highlight of my year.  This time they brought along their adorable cousins.  Double the fun!  Seriously great kids.  And I seriously love my time spent with them. :)
