Tips For Preparing For Your Tulip Session

Virginia Tulip Photo Sessions

A perfect spring tradition with your family

Spring in Maryland is such an amazing time, and one favorite event within my own family in the spring is the tulip festival. We are so lucky to have really close to us the stunning Tulip Fields just like in Holland but in Virginia. I love to go to Burnside Festival of Spring, which lasts from approximately 3 weeks around the month of April.

How To Prepare For Tulip Sessions

When planning our family photography session in the tulip fields, consider the following tips to make your photoshoot a success.

1. Choose the Right Time of Day

The best time of day to take photos in the tulip fields is during the golden hour, which is the hour after sunrise or the hour before sunset. The lighting is soft, warm, and flattering during this time, which can add depth and dimension to your family photographs.

2. Wear Appropriate Clothing.

Wearing appropriate clothing is crucial when taking photographs in the tulip fields. You'll want to choose clothing that coordinates with the vibrant colors of the tulips without clashing. Light-colored or pastel-colored clothing will contrast nicely with the bright colors of the tulips. Additionally, it's essential to wear comfortable shoes, as you'll be walking through the fields.

The weather in the spring can change quickly, so having items for alternate weather situations can help. Also, if it has been raining the fields are often muddy, so plain color rain boots are a great choice to keep your socks clean and dry.

3. Bring Props

Props can add a fun element to your family photographs. Consider bringing items like picnic baskets or blankets to incorporate into your photoshoot. Props can add a touch of personality and make your family photographs more memorable.
