Cherry Blossom Magic in Cherry Hill — 2026 Spring Mini Sessions
Every spring, the world gets a little softer, a little sweeter, and just a tiny bit pinker. And if you live in the Philadelphia or South Jersey area, you already know this time of year is basically our Super Bowl of flowers. The cherry blossoms pop, families come out in full bloom (pun intended), and every Philadelphia family photographer is out here living their best life among the petals.
This year, I’m thrilled to announce my 2026 Cherry Blossom Sessions, happening right in beautiful Cherry Hill, NJ — a town that quite literally lives up to its name.

A Little Cherry Hill History (Because Fun Facts Are Necessary)
Did you know Cherry Hill wasn’t always Cherry Hill? Before the 1960s, it was actually called Delaware Township — but once residents grew obsessed with a local farm famous for its cherry trees, the name stuck. Pretty on-brand, right?

And here's where it gets even better…
Since the 1970s, this specific stretch of road has been home to a breathtaking tradition:
🌸 1,400+ Kwanzan cherry trees
🌸 2 miles of dreamy pink blooms
🌸 Thousands of visitors every season
These trees were planted as a gift to the community, and every year they burst into peak bloom like they’re showing off. It’s one of the most stunning natural displays in Camden County, and one of the top spring photography locations for South Jersey photographers and photographers in Philadelphia.
Basically, the whole region treats cherry blossom season like an unofficial holiday — and honestly, we should.

Why Cherry Blossoms Make the Perfect Portrait Backdrop
Cherry blossoms have that rare talent of making anyone look like they’re starring in their own fairytale. Kids look whimsical, siblings look angelic, and moms… listen, moms look like they stepped out of a luxury magazine editorial.
The soft pink blooms, the golden light, the pastel glow — it all comes together in that dreamy way only spring can pull off.

Why Families Love These Sessions
Parents love these sessions because:
• They’re quick.
• They’re magical.
• Their kids suddenly turn into spring models the second they see the trees.
• And the photos look like wall art — not snapshots.
Most families come back year after year because the blossoms only peak for such a short window. They feel special… because they are special.

A Few Fun Cherry Blossom Facts (Because they’re too good not to share)
🌸 Kwanzan cherry trees are known for their double-petal blooms — basically the “ball gown” version of cherry blossoms.
🌸 Philadelphia’s love affair with cherry blossoms started in 1926, when Japan gifted the city thousands of trees. (A whole century later, we're still obsessed.)
🌸 Cherry Hill’s blossoms peak around mid-April — almost perfectly timed for your spring portraits.
🌸 “Hanami,” the traditional Japanese celebration of cherry blossoms, literally translates to “flower viewing”… which feels exactly like what we’ll be doing together.
