When I said I love spring outdoor sessions, I mean I REALLY love spring outdoor sessions! I am so excited to share this cherry blossom family session that I captured with the Johnson family. We were catching the end of the cherry blossom prime bloom time before the petals had all fallen and was able to capture just a dreamy floral portrait! Oh these are so good my friends!
I have had the pleasure of photographing Windy, Adam & Charlie before for their maternity and newborn portraits! It has been some time since I have gotten to see Charlie so it was really fun seeing him running around and his sweet personality!
Cherry Blossom Family Session
Our session was originally scheduled for in the evening but with storms on the way, we moved it to that morning and let me tell you – it was a very, very warm morning for April! I was sweating by the time we were finished and as yucky as that is, it means those warm summer sessions are not too far away and I was THRILLED about that! Ha! It was also really windy but it made some beautiful moments during their session, shaking the petals all around them as they played under the cherry blossoms.
I always tell my families, be prepared to play during your session with your little ones! Playing tag, airplane, peek a boo – all the things you love to do together at home, is exactly what we will do during your portraits! It makes it such an enjoyable experience for your children when it is more like family time together, than sitting and smiling for portraits! (But don’t worry – I will still get that smiling at the camera pose too!)
I love that I am back to photographing families again and getting the chance to see my families grow over the years! Are you ready to update your family portraits? I would be thrilled to document the season you are in! Let’s start the conversation! Want to be included in my newsletter for all the details on my seasonal minis? Click here!

You guys. Every year, I swear I forgot how beautiful the spring season is in Ohio. And every year, when I take outdoor spring portraits with any blooming, flowering trees – I am just in awe. My dear friend , who is also a fabulous motherhood photographer, and her two boys had the dreamiest motherhood session during cherry blossom season.
The park was FILLED and I mean FILLED with other photographers and locals taking in the beautiful trees. The weather was a perfect 70 degrees and partly sunny, so everyone was just out and about soaking it in. But you would never know that we were shoulder to shoulder with others getting in as many photographs as we could as we both wrangled our boys for these portraits. (We took each others pictures with our boys and yes, it was absolutely a workout and made us both question our sanity! Ha!)
Cherry Blossom Motherhood Session
E is also expecting her 3rd baby so we were sure to document a few early maternity portraits and I just love how romantic and feminine these photos feel. She is not finding out the gender this time around and I envy her patience! I wanted to do that with T but I’m too much of a planner and ended up needing to know! I told her I am guessing girl, however I ALWAYS guess wrong so it’s probably a boy – which she thinks it is!
The cherry blossom season doesn’t last very long so it is truly a gift to get these portraits! If you are interested in getting portraits with the cherry blossoms, it is best to plan for a week or two around prime bloom! (Here in Ohio, it is typically the first or middle part of April.) But let me tell you, it is totally worth it and so dreamy!
I plan to share a few snip its of my photos with the boys in my next post. 🙂

If I am being honest, it seems to weird to me to be sharing a family session here on the blog! While it hasn’t been so long to photograph a family session, it has been quite some time sharing one for all to see. For the past few years, I focused solely on weddings, maternity & newborn sessions that I didn’t share when a past client of mine would book a family session or share snip its of my mini sessions that I would host every year. But today I have a Schoepfle Garden family session to share with you all and it feels really, really nice to see these back here on the blog!
A Schoepfle Garden Family Session
Mama had a portrait session with me many years ago, with her and her children! Back then I did not realize what they were, but it was very much so a motherhood session and I am happy to get to see her kiddos once again and how much they have grown!
Mom chose one of my favorite locations for her family session, Schoepfle Gardens! This location has so many nooks, crannies & beautiful backgrounds to choose from and really shines in the spring with all the blooming flowers! While we did come right at the beginning of the spring season, we were still able to find some really great spots that offered nice greenery and even a few small little blooms to give us that spring feeling to their family portraits!
Photographing in the early spring here in Ohio can be tricky. It can tend to still be quite brown & gloomy, however with these few tips, you can avoid those leaf-less trees and still have the feel of spring! Find a greenery bush that is “bloomed” year round. This includes rhododendron bushes, bamboo and even pine trees too! Wear pastel & spring colors to add in color if you can’t find any in the location you are at. Lastly, be sure to photograph on a bright, sunny day! This doesn’t always get to happen, I know. But having that sun shining on you brings the little bit of pop that you’ll be looking for!
