Cherry blossom season is here and what better way to celebrate than with a photoshoot with these GORGEOUS trees! I always look forward to this time of year when the cherry blossoms pop and explode into all different shades of pink. The trees of course make for a bright and colorful backdrop for a Spring photoshoot!
There are an abundance of places to see these beautiful blossoms and it has always been my dream to go to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan! (hopefully someday) While the list below doesn't include Japan it does include some great places in the Tri-State area specifically New York and New Jersey to see the blooms.
Read below to see my list and if you have any you want to add that I didn't include leave me a comment below! I would love to hear of more places where you live that has these beautiful trees.
