Skagit Valley Tulip and Daffodil Fields Photography

Each spring the Skagit Valley shifts into extraordinary color as fields of daffodils and tulips bloom beneath the open skies of northwest Washington. It’s one of my favorite times of year to photograph locally, especially in the soft light of early morning and evening. This collection includes broad views of the flower fields, rows of color stretching toward the horizon, intimate studies of individual blooms, and quieter moments shaped by weather, depth, and changing light. I’m especially drawn to the contrast between the intensely cultivated fields and the surrounding farmland, mountains, and spring skies. The character of the valley changes quickly through the season, from the first yellow daffodils in March to the peak tulip displays in April. Fine-art prints are available in a variety of sizes and finishes. If you are looking for a particular Skagit Valley flower, field, color, or view that you don’t see here, please ask. My archive includes many additional tulip and daffodil photographs that are not yet shown on the site. To order a print or arrange a tour, please email me at Mike Reid Photography

The Skagit Valley bursts forth with color starting in about March and continuing through April with the Skagit Valley Daffodil and Tulip Festivals. Being up amongst the flowers is very much my happy place this time of the year. To arrange your own Tulip Festival Photography tour, contact me.
