Tag Archive for: Cherry Blossoms
Courtney and Josh had the perfect May day for a wedding in Leelanau county! The sky was clear, the temperature was mild, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and a gorgeous sunset rounded out the evening. The perfect day itself, highlighted by Coutney’s classic beauty and Josh’s winning smile, was flawless. I just love it when days come together like this!
My gorgeous friend Michele is pregnant with her second baby. I asked her to let me take some maternity photos of her this time around, since she didn’t do it with the first baby. We used a friend’s cherry orchard, in full bloom, on Old Mission peninsula in the evening so I could test out some new equipment. I am so happy with how beautiful she looks among the evening light on the trees. I can’t wait to meet this little belly bundle in about a month!
My little pal Blake is growing so quick! His favorite thing seems to be his feet right now. He was far more interested in his own toes than any silly sounds or mommy/daddy voices for most of his photos but we managed to get that cute little mug in at least a few photos! Next time I get to see him, I’m sure he’ll be up and running – I can’t wait!
One of my favorite times of the year is the week of cherry blossoms. Depending on when (yes, in Michigan is a very uncertain WHEN) spring actually begins, determines when the cherry blossoms are going to be the best. In past years, right around the middle of May has been when the trees are in full bloom. However, if spring comes early, they will peak in the first half of the month, if spring comes late, they will peak in the last half of the month. This year I would like to plan ahead and see what we can get scheduled in for family photos, engagement sittings, and child/baby shoots. Sooooo, for the ENTIRE month of May I will be running a special package for every sitting we do in a cherry orchard!!
