On our way home. See you soon DC <3

This was the ONLY time I’ve ever had tripod troubles at the Lincoln Memorial. I was setting up my shot inside the memorial at sunrise, waiting for some people to walk out of my frame when a capital police came up to me and told me tripods weren’t allowed. I was confused since tripods are now allowed on Capitol grounds, I figured they’d be a little more lenient everywhere else. I guess not. Either that or he was bored because seriously there was barely anyone there! So I walked and took pictures on the side of the building… with my tripod.

Have a great weekend everybody! We’re having such a great time here in Tokyo so far. Can’t wait to share my images with you 🙂

Theres this energy that I can’t describe when you visit the tidal basin during cherry blossom season. Everyone is so happy and excited. People get dressed up to take pictures in front of the trees, smiling faces everywhere, it’s just so much fun!

I heard the cherry blossoms will be peaking soon in DC! Wishing everyone back home beautiful light and new fun experiences <3

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.
