Cherry Blossom Family PortraitsSpring has sprung in Washington D.C. and do you know what that means?

Once you get pass the traffic, crowds of people, and find a parking space, the blossoms serves a wonderful backdrop for your family's spring photo.

With the smiles on these bright faces; you wouldn't know the temperature were in the 40°s.
