Jourdan’s Senior Session

Wednesday Jourdan met up with me for the first shoot of the springtime! It was nearly summer weather here in Indiana and the Shiojiri Niwa Japanese Gardens in Mishawaka, Indiana were in bloom for a perfect late afternoon Senior Session. We took a walk along the Saint Joseph River and Central Park for some great sunset photos. I tried out some →
Perfect end to the weekend

A new day begins as sleep was interrupted after three hours' rest and has yet to return. My child stirring for his early morning change and feeding →
