Embracing Spring's Charm: A Cherry Blossom Family Session

April 15, 2015

As winter loosened its grip, the sweet scent of spring finally filled the air – a moment I'd been eagerly awaiting. A client's request for a cherry blossom session led us to a quaint park in Vienna, steering clear of the bustling Tidal Basin in DC.

We knew the blossoms wouldn't be at their peak on our chosen day, a tad later than usual. A quick chat with mom assured me – we were on the same page. It wasn't about perfect blooms; it was all about family connections. With her trust, we picked outfits, crossed our fingers, and hoped for a nice day... and it was! The cherry blossoms were a delight, the weather played along, kids giggled and ran around, and I may have gone a tad camera-happy – can you blame me when joy-filled moments unfold? 😊🌸
