Location Gallery
not sure where to have your session? below are different locations throughout Ozaukee, Washington and Milwaukee counties I have done senior sessions at. you can also choose to do a studio shoot with a backdrop of your choice instead of an outdoor session.
Big Bay Park | Whitefish Bay
small, but picturesque park along Lake Michigan
Black Cat Alley | Milwaukee
murals painted by various local artists adorn the buildings of this alleyway on Milwaukee’s east side. Can be combined with Milwaukee’s Swing Park and Holton St. Bridge in the same session
Cedar Creek Park | Cedarburg
set at the bottom of the cascading falls of Cedar Creek. Footbridge and willows/trees line the creek
Cedar Creek Settlement | Cedarburg
the ivy-covered cream city brick and wood buildings of the shops at cedar creek make for great backdrops
Concordia University | Mequon
set atop the bluffs of Lake Michigan, concrete stairs surrounded by tall grasses and wildflowers end in a crushed gravel trail that wanders along a rocky shoreline before ending at a cozy little beach with lots of driftwood. No pets are allowed here, the over 200 steps can be a bit strenuous for some and there are no public bathrooms
Covered Bridge Park | Cedarburg
one of the few remaining covered bridges in the state surrounded by lush greenery and a smaller footbridge
Doctor's Park | Shorewood
Wooded park with stairs that go down to a beach along Lake Michigan
Highland Woods | Mequon
old growth forest with wood chip trails. especially picturesque in fall when the colors are peaking. Note: no public bathrooms here
Lime Kiln Park | Grafton
the brick lime kilns for which this park is named is, of course, the main feature. the Milwaukee River also runs along the eastern edge providing great natural backdrops and the metal bridge near the kilns rounds out the various looks this park provides
Lion's Den Gorge | Grafton
Set along the bluffs of Lake Michigan, this park provides sweeping lake vistas along a wood chip trail that winds through old growth woods. 100+ stairs down the bluff provide access to a sandy beach that is about a 20 minute walk from the park entrance
Mee-Kwon Park | Mequon
pond surrounded by willows and a trail that leads up along mule hill to an old growth forest
Mequon Nature Preserve | Mequon
510 acres of land with six miles of trails that wind through old growth forests, ponds and rolling meadows. Three different parking lots make it quick and easy to move to different parts of the preserve without wasting too much time walking from area to area. Public bathrooms located in the preserve building (building hours vary)
Milwaukee Art Museum | Milwaukee
the wings of the Calatrava and the surrounding gardens with Lake Michigan vistas make for stunning photos. “The Calling” sculpture and surrounding O’Donnell park just west of the museum provides even more looks. Public bathrooms inside the museum (when open). a photography license must be purchased if photos inside the museum are desired
Milwaukee's Third Ward | Milwaukee
urban vibes among the cream city buildings and alleyways and the natural beauty of Milwaukee’s riverwalk
Rotary Park | Mequon

a hidden gem with a crushed gravel path that circles a large pond and is surrounded by tall grasses and wildflowers. seldom used railroad tracks that run along the habitat are perfect for a traditional track pose. Note: their are no public bathrooms here
Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum | Milwaukee
an Italian Renaissance-style home on a bluff above Lake Michigan landscaped with terraces, formal gardens and a stunning “water stairway.” A photography permit must be purchased and the museum is often closed for weddings, concerts and other various events, so a few weeks’ notice must be given to arrange a session date and time

Virmond Park | Mequon
