Olathe Spring Session
Cherry Blossom Orchard – An Adoption Story
Family session in the orchard with cherry blossoms—does it get any better? Actually, it does. This was one of my most memorable Olathe spring sessions because it celebrated something truly special: adoption. These two sweet little girls now have a forever home, and the love that filled this session was overwhelming in the best way. What an absolute honor to capture it.
The cherry blossoms in this part of Colorado are fleeting—if you’ve ever been lucky enough to catch them, you know. The wind can come sweeping through Olathe from April through June, and when it hits 40+ mph, those delicate blooms don’t stand a chance. That’s why I always try to schedule spring sessions in Olathe quickly when the blossoms arrive. They’re magical. I mean it—if I could spend every spring chasing cherry blossoms around the globe, I would.
These girls had such a blast dancing, playing, and soaking up all the love from mom and dad. They were thriving in front of the camera, and I loved every second. I always aim for a mix—yes, we’ll get those posed, smiling shots for grandma’s fridge. But the real magic happens when kids can just be themselves. With a little gentle prompting, those candid moments come alive, and that’s what I’m after.
This family’s bond was beautiful to witness. Their joy, their story, their energy—it’s what makes Olathe spring sessions so powerful. Getting to document this kind of connection is why I do what I do.
