Location Guide
Not quite sure where you want your photo session? No problem! Let this informative location guide around the Milwaukee area give you a great list of locations Kellie recommends!
Windpoint Lighthouse
4725 Lighthouse Drive
Racine
Perfect quaint location for any type of session. Grass and garden areas with white picket fence and the beautiful sunset to the East. Rocky shoreline/beach area with large rocks for sitting on. Of course images of the beautiful white lighthouse! Parking is very easy, and it's usually not super crowded. This location does require a $30 permit (although I haven't been asked to see one), that can be obtained online!
Froemming Park
8801 S. 51st St.
Franklin
Beautiful and simple location in Franklin! Perched on top of large hill with
stunning views of the sky and sunset! Lots of tall grass and wildflowers. There are no structures here. Easy parking, but can get busy in warmer months with playground and beer garden nearby!
Brewery District
Downtown Milwaukee
Another great urban location in Downtown Milwaukee's Brewery District! Located near the Pabst Mansion with cobblestone streets, old brick, and metal railings. A short walk over to a newer parking garage gives awesome views of downtown Milwaukee at the very top! Great for high school senior and family sessions!
Boerner Botanical Gardens/Whitnall Park
9400 Boerner Dr.
Hales Corners
Classic location for any type of session! Beautiful flowers, brick trellis' with vines. Waterfountains, and an overall picturesque backdrop. This location has lots of parking, and is easy to walk around. This does require a photography permit that can be found on website!
Grant Park Beach
100 E. Hawthorne Ave.
South Milwaukee
Fun teal/green metal bridge over small creek. Greenery area with creek as well as wide open beach for those stunning sky shots! Large rocks and some beach grass as well! Easy to park with large lot, but gets very busy on warm summer evenings!
Milwaukee's 3rd Ward
Downtown Milwaukee
One of my favorite locations in Milwaukee for high school seniors!
SO many great photo spots! Rugged alleyways, metal stairs, cream colored brick, beautiful flower pots, views of downtown and the Milwaukee River, and fun lights from local restaurants makes this a very fun location with tons of backdrop options!
Milwaukee Art Museum and Old Northwestern Mutual Building
700 N. Art Museum Dr.
Milwaukee
You can't go wrong with the milwaukee Art Museum in the backdrop of your photos! Great for high school seniors, or family sessions! So much to check out from tall water fountains, to glass along the museum, of course shots with the "wings" as well as that famous big orange sunburst sculpture just outside the museum! If we hop across the street to the Old Northwestern Mutual Building, there are fun HUGE gold doors, a garden area/courtyard!
Lake Vista/Bender Park
4159 E. Lake Vista Parkway
Oak Creek
Beautiful area with unique pavilion made of lots of large windows and metal! If the pavilion isn't rented for a party I start with some images here. Then we move to the wooded areas, and bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan! Lots of areas with tall grass
and wildflowers. Also a small beach area with large rocks. Open fields make for beautiful sunset/sky images. Easy parking, and paved pathways can get busy due to new condos and townhomes built.
Trestle Park/Hoan Bridge
501 E. Erie St.
Milwaukee
VERY fun location on the outskirts of Milwaukee's 3rd Ward. Great for any session type, seniors especially! Lots of great brick, with fun rustic stairs and railings. Wood boardwalk and benches along Milwaukee's River, and an awesome old train track bridge and buildings in the background! If wanted, we can take a short trip down the road to a spot under Milwaukee's Hoan Bridge! Very cool perspective! Street parking in both locations!
The Flower Bee
22428 W. 7 Mile Rd.
Franksville
ADORABLE you pick flower farm! This location DOES require a fee to enter per group, however you get to pick a fresh bouquet of flowers to take home! Small business located in Franksville, with beautiful rows of vibrant flowers, a white metal barn, and wide open field for gorgeous sunset views! Stunning location for any session type! Parking is easy, but can be a bit messy if it recently rained! Location open only certain days of the week.

Oof!! You wouldn’t know it by the looks of the photos.. but it was a HOT night for this gorgeous senior girl… AND we were dodging some pop up storms. I swear I’ve had to reschedule so many sessions due to 150 degrees or pop ups this summer!
Booking these amazing seniors into fall! Don’t wait if you’re hopeful to get on my calendar, the remainder of summer and fall dates are filling up fast!

Creating fun sets based on colors, outfits, and parent ideas is so much fun! My sweet little niece had a dress all ready for her cake smash! I decided to pull out the small details in the yellow flowers and create an adorable daisy themed smash to celebrate her 1st birthday! 🎂
