Oregon Flower Photography Workshop
March 29th- April 2nd, 2026
Cost: $2400
Step into a vibrant world of color and creativity with Into the Tulips We Go, a women’s-only photography workshop set among Oregon’s most beautiful spring landscapes. Together, we’ll explore breathtaking tulip farms like Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, wander through charming local nurseries, photograph the lush grounds of the Oregon Garden, and chase waterfalls at the stunning Silver Falls State Park — all in a supportive, inspiring community of women photographers.Throughout the workshop, you’ll dive deep into a variety of techniques to expand your creative toolbox. We will be based out of Silverton, Oregon and staying at the Oregon Garden Resort.
You’ll learn the art of macro photography to capture intricate floral details, multiple exposures for dreamy layered images, and Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) for striking abstract effects. We’ll experiment with water drop photography, explore landscape photography in iconic locations, and play with specialty filters to add unique touches to your images.
In addition to hands-on shooting, we’ll host a dedicated editing session where you’ll learn techniques for photo editing and take your creativity even further with digital painting. You’ll leave with a collection of beautiful, imaginative images — and the skills to continue creating long after the workshop ends.
This workshop is perfect for photographers who want to stretch their creativity, gain hands-on experience with new techniques, and fill their portfolios with bold, colorful spring imagery. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills, break out of a creative rut, or simply be inspired, Into the Tulips We Go offers the perfect springtime escape.
Come join us — and let your creativity bloom!
There will be a Google Meet held one month prior to the workshop to discuss details and gear. Date and time TBD.

My time at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm easily ranks in the top five photography experiences of my life. With over 40 acres of tulips and more than 100 stunning varieties, it’s an absolute dream for photographers. At sunrise, hot air balloons rise over the fields, adding even more magic to the scene.
