A Few Weeks of Pink: Inside Our Cherry Blossom Portrait Season

There are a few weeks each spring when New Jersey feels like it belongs in a storybook — and cherry blossom season is one of them.

Soft pink petals, warm spring light, and blooms that never last quite long enough. If you’ve ever dreamed of portraits that feel romantic, timeless, and quietly magical, this is your moment.

Each spring, I offer Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and they remain one of the most anticipated seasonal experiences of the year.

A Spring Setting That Never Gets Old

Cherry blossom portraits are light, airy, and full of movement. These sessions are designed to feel natural and effortless — children twirl, parents laugh, and moments unfold organically beneath the blooms.

Whether you’re celebrating:

• your child’s personality at this age

• a spring maternity season

• or finally getting that family portrait you’ve been putting off

cherry blossoms create the perfect backdrop for something soft, emotional, and beautiful.

What’s Included in the Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions

🌸 Cherry Blossom Mini Session
🌸 10–15 minute session (because toddlers have opinions)
🌸 3 professionally edited fine art images
🌸 Access to my Client Closet — gowns for girls, maternity, and mommy & me
🌸 Fully styled and guided so all you have to do is show up and enjoy

These sessions are ideal for children, families, maternity portraits, or a simple spring refresh.

Styled, Simple, and Stress-Free

Every detail is thoughtfully planned — from wardrobe guidance to posing that feels natural instead of stiff. I’ll help guide movement, connection, and flow so your images feel emotional and timeless rather than overly posed.

Soft fabrics, gentle color palettes, and natural light work together to create a cohesive fine art look that feels effortless on camera.

Limited Seasonal Availability

Cherry blossoms bloom quickly — and disappear just as fast.

These sessions are offered for a short time each spring, with limited availability to preserve the experience and the light.

Tulip Mini Sessions at Dalton Farms & Beyond – A Whimsical (and Slightly Hilarious) Spring Experience

As the winter snow melts and the first buds of spring begin to bloom, it’s time to emerge from hibernation, dust off those cute outfits, and frolic in a field of tulips like you’re starring in your own fairy tale. (Or at least like you’re trying to get the perfect Instagram shot.) Our exclusive tulip photography sessions offer a magical opportunity to capture the vibrant colors of spring in a breathtaking floral setting—without worrying about sneezing fits or stepping in mud.

Award-Winning Tulip Photography in South Jersey

We are thrilled to offer fine art, whimsical-style tulip sessions throughout April at two breathtaking locations in South Jersey. We provide a curated collection of dresses to enhance the ethereal beauty of our shoots. (That’s right, we’ve got you covered—literally.) Our locations include:

Dancing around the tulip field at Dalton Farms. Located in Swedesboro, NJ.

• Dalton Farms in Swedesboro, NJ – A historic family-owned farm featuring stunning tulip fields, rustic barns, and a charming farmhouse backdrop. If you’ve ever dreamed of being in a Dutch painting without leaving New Jersey, this is your moment.

• A Private Tulip Patch in Swedesboro – An exclusive, serene setting reserved just for our clients. No photobombing strangers, no crowds—just you, the flowers, and maybe a bee or two that didn’t get the memo.

Both locations are bursting with color, making them the perfect backdrop for your dream springtime session.

Why Choose a Tulip Mini Session?

New Jersey is called “The Garden State” for a reason! (And no, it’s not just because of our tomatoes.) The sweet scent of fresh blooms and the vibrant hues of tulips create a picture-perfect setting for capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments. Our tulip mini sessions highlight the pure joy and wonder of spring—because let’s be honest, after months of winter, we all need a little color in our lives.

What to Expect from Your Session

Our tulip mini sessions are crafted to be a stress-free and enjoyable experience. (Translation: We won’t make you do awkward poses that feel like yoga.) Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a stunning sea of tulips, providing an incredible canvas for your photos. We provide a selection of exquisite dresses to complement the natural surroundings, helping to create that fairy-tale atmosphere our clients love.

All fun and smiles! In the tulip patch!

Sessions last approximately 20-30 minutes, making them the perfect bite-sized photography experience. But don’t let the short timeframe fool you—during that time, we capture an impressive variety of stunning images. From candid giggles and twirling dresses to serene, romantic moments, our goal is to provide you with a gallery of breathtaking photos that you’ll cherish forever. (And yes, we’ll get that one shot where your toddler isn’t making a weird face.)

A Passion for Floral Photography

Flowers have always been a deep passion of mine. With a master gardener certificate earned in the early 2000s, I’ve spent years cultivating an appreciation for blooms and their fleeting beauty. Springtime in South Jersey brings an explosion of color, from crocuses and daffodils to the grand arrival of tulips!

Beautiful image of this little princess in the patch!

One of my favorite things about tulip photography is the way each session tells a different story. Whether it’s a mother and daughter twirling in a sea of flowers, a newly engaged couple stealing a romantic moment, or children laughing as they explore the colorful fields, every session is unique. The vibrant hues of tulips create an unparalleled backdrop, enhancing the whimsical, dream-like aesthetic that my photography is known for. (And if your kids decide to play hide-and-seek in the flowers, don’t worry—I’ve seen it all.)

Love the pairing of cool tones with the warm tones of the tulips!

Tips for a Successful Tulip Mini Session

To make the most of your tulip session, here are some helpful tips:

• Dress for the occasion – We provide dresses for our clients, but if you prefer to bring your own, opt for light, airy fabrics in pastel or earth tones to complement the tulip fields. (Sequins and superhero capes are totally welcome, though.)

• Time your session right – Morning and late afternoon provide the best natural light for capturing that golden glow. Plus, the earlier you come, the fewer people you have to dodge in the background.

• Keep it playful – Movement is key! Twirl, dance, laugh, and enjoy the moment to create beautiful, authentic photos. If your kid insists on pretending to be a tulip, we’ll roll with it.

• Trust the process – We specialize in creating artistic and timeless images, so relax and let us guide you through the session. No need to practice your “serious model face” in the mirror—natural smiles are always best!
