Cherry Blossom Pictures at Baker Park | The Cole Family
Spring shoot in the cherry blossoms
The Cole family photos are some of my favorites! We took these last spring and I’m so happy to finally be sharing them here. We were able to get some really beautiful images of the cherry blossoms, which ended up being more of a feat than we had initially thought because they blossomed so late!
The Coles were so flexible as we kept having to push back our shoot in order to take pictures when the blossoms were fully open. I’m so grateful they were willing to work with me because the result was so worth it! Those fluffy flowers are such a stunning backdrop. The Cole family came looking so beautiful in all their light colors. They were great listeners so we were able to move quickly — which was necessary because it was freezing and we all wanted to keep the kids happy. But you’d never know it was cold out since the final photos look so good. I’m glad we were able to fit so much into a mini-session. I could tell they had really prepared as a family and we worked really well together. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a client!
We took the Coles photos in Baker Park. This location is about 40 minutes north of DC in Frederick, MD, and is a FANTASTIC alternative for cherry blossom pictures. DC can be hard to navigate with the insane amount of people who come to see the blooms, so heading a little outside of the district is a much easier option. Baker Park is large, has plenty of parking, and even has blooming trees right by the waterfront, just like D.C. It’s such a dreamy spot!
Not only were the Coles so fun to work with, but they came all the way from Baltimore to work with me, which I so appreciated! If people are willing to go outside the city, we have a lot more flexibility with locations and can get better shots without having to work around other people in the background. This session with the Cole family was just the best!
