Ottawa Family Photos with Tulips

Looking for that perfect setting to capture stunning family photos? Well, search no more because Ottawa’s Tulip Festival has got you covered! Trust me when I say its no ordinary session location. This one of a kind festival that happens in May every year turns Ottawa into a colourful wonderland of flowers. The festival is a great opportunity for Ottawa family photos with tulips.

Back in 1945, the Netherlands showered Canada with thousands of tulips as a heartfelt thank you for sheltering the Dutch royal family during World War II. Ever since, Ottawa has been celebrating this kind gesture every year, transforming the city with over one million tulips.

Everyone in Ottawa is always excited when the tulips arrive because it’s one of the first signs that Spring has finally arrived.  After a long, dark Winter, the bright and beautiful tulips give Ottawans hope that warmer weather is finally here to stay.

Ottawa family photos with tulips are perfect for families who want:

• Photos taken at an iconic Ottawa event
• Beautiful bright colours in the background of their photos
• A session in early Spring before they are busy with end of school year events and Summer holidays
• A memory of their time in Ottawa, if it’s not their permanent home
• A location that works well for both posed and candid photos.  The tulips are such a versatile backdrop. Ottawa family photos with tulips are perfect for action shots (dancing, twirling, smelling the flowers) as well as more formal portraits.

Does your family visit the tulips every year?
