The magnolias bloom a few weeks before the cherry blossoms. They're luscious and bright, and are planted throughout the "museum without walls" at the Smithsonian Garden.
The Tidal Basin is the most famous place to experience the cherry blossom trees in Washington DC. If you're looking for a timeless way to commemorate spring in The District and you don't mind the crowds, this is the session for you!
Lower Senate Park is my favorite hidden gem to see the Cherry Blossom trees! Mini sessions are less than half the price of a full portrait session and are great for families or those looking for a quick and convenient way to capture their spring photos.
