Film Friday - annual Cherry Blossoms edition

, ,

HOW is it Friday already again????

So...we basically didn't have a spring in DC this year and went from a whole month of rain straight to summer.  I am okay with that but I am going to think about spring a tiny bit this morning by throwing back to our visit to see the cherry blossoms two months ago.  Jeremy and I have gone almost every year since we have been together, with the exception of two years 1) Super pregnant before Evie was born and 2) we were out of the country.  Our walk downtown last year is still so vivid in my mind because I remember being so disappointed with how overcasted it was! It started out kind of exciting since this was the first time our family of 4 visited the cherry blossoms together BUT I'd say we got over it rather quickly because it was so crowded even though we got there shortly after 7am! Note: Max was strapped to the carrier the whole time, so I didn't get photographs of him on camera, but at least we have some iphone family snaps :)

I hope you enjoy these photographs :) Happy Happy Friday and have a good weekend, peeps!

All taken on a Pentax645N and a Canon 1v on portra400.

Cherry blossoms on film

Since we've started dating, J and I take a trip down to the tidal basin every year to see the cherry blossoms around sunrise because he can't stand crowds. I usually take a second trip back down around sunset hours to photograph, so he doesn't have to wait around for me.  But we've missed the last two years for good reasons, so I was super excited that we were able to make it this year!  AND we got to take Evie along.  I was also really excited that I was going to photograph mostly with my new film camera.

It was super overcasted that day and I was really nervous about how the photographs would turn out.  I initially hated them but after sleeping on it for a day or so, I think I really love them.  Hope you do too!
