Cherry blossom season in Washington, D.C., is nothing short of iconic—a fleeting moment when the city is draped in delicate pink petals, transforming familiar landscapes into something almost dreamlike. It’s a time of beauty, renewal, and reflection, making it the perfect backdrop for timeless portraits.
This year, I am offering one-hour portrait sessions designed to give you a relaxed yet refined experience among the blossoms.
Thursday, March 27th & Tuesday, April 1st
7:00 AM – 12:00 Noon
Sessions are scheduled in the soft morning light for the most beautiful and flattering portraits. These dates are based on the National Park Service’s peak bloom predictions and may require flexibility due to nature’s unpredictable timeline.
Cherry blossom sessions are highly sought after, and for good reason—the window to experience peak bloom is brief, and each year brings its own unique rhythm. Sessions are booked on a first-come, first-serve basis. As bookings fill, available locations will become more set, so reserving early ensures the most flexible location options.
The National Park Service will release its 2025 peak bloom prediction tomorrow, and I schedule sessions accordingly. That being said, cherry blossoms follow no calendar but that of mother nature. Flexibility is key, as weather and bloom cycles may shift. I work closely with each client in hopes of capturing sessions during the blossoms’ peak bloom.
