The winner of the mini baby milestone package | Goshen newborn, birth & maternity photographer

I am so excited to announce the winner of the mini baby milestone package. For every newborn, birth or maternity session a client scheduled between 1/1 - 2/14, their name was put into the drawing that amount of times. I entered 13 names into the list organizer of random.org And the winner is this little girl and her momma of course:



Holly, you're the winner! Thanks so much, Holly, for trusting me to take your maternity, birth & newborn photos! And thank you so much to everyone who has scheduled with me and kept me busy doing what I love. I love my job and I couldn't do it without you.

2011 jhp senior image contest | High school senior photography

Wow! What a fun & exciting contest we had on Facebook. I want to thank all of the seniors who played along. And I also want to thank everyone who voted for their favorite image and to those of of you who are new to jeri hoag photography.

It came down to the last minutes battling back and forth between first and second place. In the end though Brooke won with 284 votes. Chelsea came in a close second with 273 votes. Huge congrats to both of you! Everyone is a winner though as I think they are all wonderful people and have some fabulous senior photos to cherish.

Brooke did an awesome job and has won a prize package consisting of: her choice of a prom night session OR a best friend session by jhp. A 4x8 accordion album with approximately 10 images from the session and also a $25 gift certificate from Jules Boutique Goshen & a $25 gift certificate towards framing at Accents Framing & Gifts of Goshen. It's a $295 total value. And, because Chelsea did such an awesome job too, I think she deserves something so I'm offering her a prom OR best friend session as well.

Thanks again to everyone who joined in the fun!

so precious | Buchanan, MI newborn photography

This baby boy was so precious and huggable. I can see why his momma wants to hold him all day. He was so adorable while trying to pose him. He would squirm, open his eyes, then fall back to sleep, over and over... too cute! He was not happy with me when I tried placing him on his tummy and screamed at me a few times. All in all it was a great session. Thanks, Jayme!

I had a fit when I arrived at this little ones house and met her. I'm sure her momma hears it a lot, but just look at all of that gorgeous hair! I love it! She definitely wins the award for the baby with the most hair that I've ever photographed. And look at that smile... I absolutely love it when I can capture a smile on a sleeping newborn. ♥

Growing | Goshen baby photography

I had to share a few more of this little guy. He was in the last newborn baby post I made below. He's growing up too fast just like all babies do. Don't let the sleeping image fool you... this time we met at 5 weeks old he was awake most of the time and kept flashing those gorgeous blue eyes at me. What a little sweetie.
