Boston’s spring bloom season moves quickly, and each type of flower has a different peak moment.


Here’s what’s blooming & when:

 

I. Lilacs at Arnold Arboretum (Mid-May)

Soft lavender tones, moody textures, and an intoxicating scent in the air.


Lilac season at the Arnold Arboretum is nothing short of magic. These delicate purple blooms create a soft, romantic backdrop that’s perfect for couples, creatives, & anyone wanting a timeless portrait session.

II. Cherry Blossoms at the Charles River Esplanade (Late April – Early May)

Cherry blossoms only last for about two weeks, but when they bloom, it’s absolutely stunning. The Esplanade’s cherry trees create a soft, pastel pink wonderland—perfect for anyone who wants a light, airy, and editorial-feeling session.

Magnolia season in the South End is an absolute vibe. These towering, soft-blush trees create a New York-meets-Boston backdrop that’s effortlessly cool and ultra-photogenic. This location is perfect for branding sessions, editorial portraits, and couples who love a city aesthetic.
