Blossom Family Photos in Ottawa

Blossom Family Photos in Ottawa | The blossom trees are notoriously fickle. Especially in Ottawa where the Spring weather bounces back and forth between steaming hot and freezing cold.  Spring Blossom sessions are some of our most popular sessions every year. Even though they are tricky for clients to book because we never know when the trees will bloom!

Here are some of the reasons these sessions are so popular:

1. Ethereal Elegance:

There’s something truly magical about the delicate beauty of apple and cherry blossoms. When these trees burst into bloom, they create a fairy tale-like backdrop for photos.  The petals falling from the blossom trees and scattered all over the ground make a magical setting for any type of photo session including family photos.

2. Symbolism and Significance:

Apple and cherry blossoms hold deep symbolism in many cultures. These flowers are often associated with renewal, beauty, and the fleeting nature of life. Capturing moments amidst these blossoms becomes a poignant reminder to cherish the present and embrace the transient beauty that life offers. 

3. First Sign of Spring:

The arrival of apple and cherry blossoms marks the transition from Winter to Spring.  Winters in Ottawa are long, cold, and seem never ending. This is why everyone is so excited when the trees start to blossom in May.   Even though they only bloom for 7 to 10 days, the blossoming trees add the most beautiful “pops” of pink, white, and magenta to the Ottawa treeline.

4. Unique Backdrop For Photos:

Because the trees only bloom for 7 to 10 days, they provide an undeniably unique backdrop for photos because they are only in bloom once every year.  It’s always special when you get photos with the trees in peak bloom. The delicate blossoms wilt under heat, rain or cold.

5. Insta-Worthy Magic:

In the era of social media, many people crave that “wow” factor for their photos. Apple and cherry blossom trees deliver just that! The thousands of blossoms lend themselves perfectly to Instagram-worthy photos that have our inbox flooded with requests for Ottawa Spring Blossom family photo sessions.
