My Top 5 Locations for Photography Sessions in Whatcom County

Hovander Homestead ParkFerndale, WA

This spacious park provides a number of settings for an outdoor portrait session. It includes open fields, trails, garden and an old barn that is well maintained.

Tennant Lake Fragrance GardenFerndale, WA

Views of Mount Baker included on clear days. Close to open fields, and dock pathways that wander through wetlands extending to Tennant Lake's viewpoint.

Locust BeachBellingham, WA

This beach is rich in character, bountiful in driftwood and only a staircase away from Marine Drive. When the tide is low, the shallow areas expand a great deal providing a lot of room to wander and explore. I consider it a perfect pacific northwest backdrop for an outdoor portrait session.

Fairhaven DistrictBellingham, WA

A charming district of brick buildings, shops and eateries. Because it is also close to Bellingham views it is a great place to start a longer photo session since both Marine Park and Taylor Dock are only a short drive or medium length walk away.

Point Whitehorn Marine ReserveBlaine, WA

It takes a 1.5 mile round trip walk to get to beach, which is perfect for photo sessions at least one hour long. This location provides the opportunity for portraits to be set in a lush green environment of wooded trails, as well as a backdrop of expanses of water to make your portrait standout.Where do you love to take pictures or just explore in Whatcom County?
