Wisconsin is filled with amazing locations for your unforgettable senior session! There are many Wisconsin senior session locations that will be amazing to choose from, and I highlight my ABSOLUTE favorite below!
Whether you spend your summer hiking, camping, or just feel more at home outdoors, these top Wisconsin senior session locations offer amazing outdoor backdrops!
Kohler-Andre State Park in Sheboygan, WI
Best for: Dunes, shoreline, boardwalk, and tall grasses
Kohler-Andre remains one of the most iconic outdoor senior photo locations in Wisconsin. It is literally my favorite place for sessions and personal outdoor days. The dune grasses, long boardwalks, and wide open (and note… clean!) beaches create warm, earthy portraits that look natural and timeless. The Lake Michigan views are a dream at sunset…. When the sun sets, the sky over Lake Michigan turns GORGEOUS colors.
Recommended for: Seniors who love beach vibes and forest feels.

Dave’s Falls in Pembine, WI
Best for: waterfalls, rich pine forests, rocky textures, forest views
Located in northern Wisconsin, Dave’s Falls brings rustic northwoods charm with its flowing waterfall and rugged rock formations. It offers a sense of adventure, depth, and motion that makes senior sessions feel more like exploring than posing. And not to mention, when you take a breath, you feel you are breathing in the freshest air ever.
Recommended for: Seniors who grew up camping, hiking, or exploring up north.
Point Beach State Forest in Two Rivers, WI
Best for: Tall pines, lighthouse views, forest trails, beach, and tall grasses
Point Beach offers a stunning combination of pine forest trails and Lake Michigan shoreline. The tall evergreens are just a short walk away from the beach. It’s an easy location for seniors who want multiple looks without multiple travel stops! It is a great beach location closer to Green Bay vs. Kohler Andre State Park.
Recommended for: Seniors who love both woods and water, and love state parks!
Fonferek’s Glen County Park in Green Bay, WI
Best for: waterfall, cliffs, prairie, rocky formations
Fonferek’s Glen is a hidden gem near Green Bay featuring a limestone waterfall, dramatic rock formations, and sweeping prairie fields. It offers a surprising amount of visual variety without needing to travel far. The textures, cliffs, and open spaces create distinct portrait looks in a single location.
Recommended for: seniors who love adventure-style photography but want a local option.
Outside of state parks, some of the most meaningful senior sessions happen in personal places like:
✓ your cabin or lake property
✓ family land or farm
✓ your favorite hiking trail
✓ a local park you grew up visiting
✓ the spot where you feel most grounded outdoors
Your senior year tells a story, choosing the right location helps tell it.
Best season for Outdoor Senior Photos in Wisconsin
Most seniors schedule between June and October:
Summer: bold light, beach days, water, movement
Early Fall: cozy layers + iconic fall color
Late Fall: darker greens + pine forests + moodier tones
Parents love earlier booking to secure yearbook deadlines and avoid last-minute stress.
What to Wear for your Wisconsin Outdoor Senior Session
Outdoor locations pair beautifully with:
✔ earth tones
✔ neutrals
✔ denim
✔ linen
✔ cotton
✔ knits
✔ minimal patterns
Movement-friendly pieces (skirts, layers, jackets) photograph especially well in nature because they add motion and texture.
