Cherry Blossom Photos Without the Chaos

Every year, the cherry blossoms at the Utah State Capitol draw huge crowds—and for good reason. They’re beautiful. But they’re also busy, rushed, and honestly… a little stressful for most people being photographed.

This session with Kyla is proof of something better.

All of these images were created within about a one-mile radius right here in Murray.

No crowds.
No pressure.
No waiting for people to clear out of the background.

Just calm, beautiful locations and space to actually enjoy the experience.

Variety Changes Everything

In just one hour, we created:

  • 4 distinct locations

  • 5 different wardrobe looks

  • A full gallery with completely different vibes

That kind of variety matters.

Instead of one backdrop and one look, you get:

  • Clean, natural portraits

  • Floral-heavy, dreamy images

  • Close-up editorial shots

  • Relaxed, lifestyle-style moments

And it all feels cohesive—not rushed.

You Don’t Need “The Popular Spot”

A lot of people assume they need the most famous location to get the best photos.

You don’t.

What you actually need is:

  • Good light

  • Thoughtful location choices

  • A plan for variety

  • Someone guiding you through it

That’s how you get images that feel personal instead of generic.

Planning Makes This Possible

Sessions like this don’t just “happen.”

Before we ever start shooting, we plan:

  • Wardrobe combinations that photograph well together

  • Locations that are close enough to move quickly

  • Lighting direction throughout the session

  • A flow so you’re never standing there wondering what to do

That’s how we fit this much variety into one hour without it feeling rushed.

If You’re Thinking About Spring Photos…

Here’s my advice:

Skip the chaos.

There are incredible, peaceful locations all over Murray and the Salt Lake area that give you the same (or better) results—without the stress.

And your experience will be completely different because of it.
