Biggest tips to photographing the Washington DC cherry blossoms:

• go early. like sunrise early.
• go on a weekday.
• go even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, you can still get some great moody images.

I feel like if I ever had a book about my life, this would be the cover.

Spent a beautiful morning wondering around the Smithsonian Gardens behind the castle. Such a beautiful place with not many people around.

Pro tip: another great place to catch the cherry blossoms when they bloom.

For now, they have these amazing magnolias trees. It was like flower heaven.

You know it’s spring when you start seeing these bloom. If cherry blossoms are the official flowers of spring in the DC area, then I think magnolias are the second runner up. They’re everywhere and they’re so big and beautiful. I’ve even heard a few tourists ask if these were cherry blossoms. No… but they’re just as beautiful 🙂

Is it wrong to say that this reminds me of House of Cards? Is it also a mistake to say that Andrew and I have already finished the 4th season? Man, I hope we don’t have to wait another year to find out what happens next to the Underwood campaign.

#TBT to when it was crazy foggy and it looked like the US Capitol disappeared.
