FAQs

  • This season we are shooting at Tulip Town located just an hour north of Seattle, which has been in operation since 1984! Weekdays are less busy and are ideal for those that don’t want to sit in long weekend traffic to get to the fields on Saturdays and Sundays.

  • There is parking on-site at Tulip Town. Keep in mind that weekends are BUSY and local law enforcement is strict about no parking on the roadsides, so give yourself enough time to get to the field and find a spot!

  • It’s springtime in Washington. Things can get a bit muddy and wet, and the fields aren’t immune to that! When it comes to footwear, this shoot is the perfect time for you to break out your best pair of rubber boots or something that can get a little dirty! We also want you to stand out from the vibrant colors of the fields in photos, so ideally wear solid colored outfits. Neutral colors are always a safe bet, but these will be colorful images so if you’re ready to kick the bland winter vibes and embrace spring with a bold color, we can work with that too!

  • Bloom times shift each year depending on conditions. For up-to-date bloom status check out Tulip Town’s instagram or facebook pages.
