Hi, I'm Jbaby

There’s something about spring that feels like hitting restart on the soul. The air softens, the trees bloom, and the world feels a little more alive. Here in Pittston, PA, the annual cherry blossom blooms brings beauty & community together. People gather to walk the cascading trails of them, take photos (like me), and even hold events, like the Cherry Blossom Festival. All of these and more bring people together to celebrate renewal, connection, and the beauty of nature right here in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

As a creative photographer based in NEPA, these sessions have become one of my favorite ways to document raw, real moments. My approach isn’t about stiff posing or forcing something that doesn’t feel true to you. I’m here to capture the unscripted, candid moments that naturally unfold when you’re with the people you love. Whether it’s your family, your partner, or your little ones—this is about preserving your story, just as it is.

And the best part? You don’t have to travel far to experience something magical. Pittston’s local cherry blossoms create the perfect backdrop, reminding us that beauty is right here in our own backyard. From the soft petals falling like confetti to the way the sunlight filters through the trees—Northeastern PA truly shows off this time of year.

But beyond the scenery, it’s the energy we create together that makes these sessions unforgettable. This year, we didn’t just take pictures—we made memories. Like when little Dorothy kept bringing me tiny flowers with the sweetest grin, or when we all grabbed hands, kicked off our shoes, and ran laughing under the blossoms. I genuinely connect with every person who steps in front of my camera, celebrating the relationships you share while becoming part of the memory-making, too.

These Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions in Pittston, PA are more than a photo opportunity—they’re a chance to slow down, soak in the season, and remember what really matters: connection, presence, and the beauty of being fully yourself.

Until next spring, I’ll be holding these memories close. Thank you to everyone who trusted me to capture a little piece of their story under these blooms. I already can’t wait to do it again.

MEET THE BLOGGER

Hi! I'm Justene, but my friends all call me Jbaby.

Rebel, dreamer, creative, empath, animal + nature enthusiast, and fashion lover, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

... My heart is made up of quite a few things, as you can see.

Not only am I a photographer/ videographer, but a mama of two cats, well traveled explorer, and fashion stylist. Through all of these things, I get to connect with people, but its my empathic nature that allows me to really get deep with it all. Celebrating people + stories through these relationships is what lights my creative heart up.
