20+ Inspiring Cherry Blossom Photoshoot Ideas
This Post May Contain Affiliate LinksCherry blossom season is one of the most anticipated blooms of the year for photos, and having a few intentional Cherry Blossom Photoshoot Ideas can make all the difference in how your images make you feel.
Whether you’re planning a maternity session, engagement photos, or a family session, this guide is filled with prompt-based ideas to help you move, interact, and actually enjoy your time with the blossoms.
Ideas for Engagements
1. Walking Through the Blossoms
Hold hands and walk slowly side by side. Bump hips, look at each other, or let one person gently pull the other along.
2. Standing Close with the Blossoms Framing your faces
3. Bring a Blanket
Bring a blanket and lay it out under the blossoms. Snuggle close and admire the blossoms together.
4. Touch Foreheads
I always tell my couples, nose-to-nose, forehead-to-forehead for this cute, romantic prompt in case the couple doesn’t want too many kissing photos in their gallery.
5. Gently Touching the Blossoms with Ring Hand
Be extremely careful with this prompt! Cherry blossoms are super delicate and fall easily.
6. Spin them Slowly
A soft, gentle, slow spin looks beautiful among the whimsical blossoms
7. Wide Shots with Lots of Negative Space
Stand farther back and frame your subjects so their tiny in the frame, and let the cherry blossom trees have their moment.
