Spring carries the softest kind of magic. The sunlight lingering longer, petals unfolding in pastel layers, and stories of new beginnings quietly blooming. As a NOVA maternity photographer a spring cherry blossom session is so magical. These are the moments I treasure most: preserving the tender joy of growing families in natural, light-filled settings. This maternity session at Glenview Mansion—set beneath the full blush of Kwanzan cherry blossoms—was a perfect reflection of that magic.

This glowing couple joined me during my annual Cherry Blossom mini sessions. Tucked within their laughter and loving glances was the sweetest secret—they were expecting their first baby. These images were more than just portraits; they were part of their pregnancy announcement, lovingly shared with family and friends.

Under a canopy of full pink blooms, we created imagery that felt as joyful as it was timeless. The Kwanzan cherry trees, with their layered petals and soft draping branches, offered the perfect storybook backdrop. Glenview Mansion is a hidden gem. An ideal spring setting for clients seeking that cherry blossom beauty without the D.C. crowds.

They laughed, held each other close, and beamed as they cradled the beginnings of a new life. One of my favorite moments was her gently holding the ultrasound strip behind his shoulder. Both of them smiling with a quiet excitement that only new parents know. These subtle gestures—so full of promise—are what make maternity photography such an honor to capture.

As a NOVA maternity photographer, I work with families across Loudoun County, Arlington, Fairfax, and the greater D.C. area to document their most meaningful milestones. This session, though just over the Maryland border, is a favorite example of how we can create soft, elegant imagery in breathtaking locations that feel both intimate and iconic.

Whether you’re planning to announce your pregnancy or simply want to capture the tender season of waiting. Spring maternity sessions offer an unmatched blend of beauty and emotion. With curated wardrobe guidance, gentle posing, and an editorial-meets-natural approach, each session is designed to feel personal and relaxed—while resulting in heirloom-worthy imagery.
