Wooden Shoe

The tulips are quickly becoming a tradition with my family and friends. The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon is one of the most beautiful and glorious places to visit in Oregon during spring. There are acres and acres upon acres of the most beautiful and unique flowers. There are activities for the kids during festival hours and they are always so kind to let photographers enter before hours to shoot a sunrise and stay late after hours to shoot a very unique sunset among the wooden shoes, tulips, windmill, Mt Hood, and an adorable pink tractor.
As a portrait AND a landscape photographer, this location is a dream to shoot both. The absolute best part, is all the activities the kids have to do while I grab a quick landscape shot.

The first set of images is from a trip last year with a friend and fellow photographer. We went up later in the day and arrived in a torrential downpour that lead to an amazing evening rainbow over the fields.

The second set is a stop we made with the entire family on the way home from one of our many Portland trips.

And the third is a second trip we made this year for one more portrait session with the girls and of course some landscape shots.

If you have a chance, I highly suggest you make the trip to see the tulips!
