Yesterday, I awoke to pouring down rain and crackling thunder. It wasn’t forecasted, so I hopped into the car at 6am, hoping that it would clear before our scheduled Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions. After some calls with my early morning clients, we decided to all go down, park and wait it out. Which we did, and which worked out beautifully. Very few tourists (comparatively speaking), great blossoms, and gorgeous light.

Here’s Annabelle, my first time working with her, and what a star she was. She loves her great blond hair, and new party dress. She must have felt like a princess yesterday….

 
Followed by Samara, whom I’ve been working with since the inaugural year of our Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions…how she’s grown into a beautiful young girl. 

I returned in the afternoon to shoot an Engagement Session for Sima and Richard, more of their pics later on today or tomorrow. What spirit!

 And here is my last shot of the night….

 Incidentally, four of my five clients from yesterday were stopped by various news channels, asking if they would allow their picture to be taken for publication/web/tweets, etc. So…if you’re looking for clothing and accessories inspiration, look no further!
