Cherry blossoms in Central Park are truly magical, and these photos are proof of that! Mom, dad, and baby were naturals in front of the camera, loving every moment of the session. We started near the Bethesda Fountain, where the early spring vibes were already starting to bloom, and then made our way further north in the park. It was there that we discovered the most picturesque cherry blossom tree, creating a stunning backdrop for their family photos.
