DOOR COUNTY
One of our crown jewels is the Peninsula—Door County. During the summer and fall, nearly every spot in Door County is worth a visit! From breathtaking beaches to charming shops and quaint downtown areas, it truly embodies the best of "Midwest lake life."
Cave Point
A fantastic spot for enjoying the lake, canoeing, or kayaking, Cave Point also offers amazing photo opportunities. Just a heads-up: the bugs can be pesky in the summer, so come prepared!

Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal
One of Door County's most iconic views! A bit of a walk is needed to reach it, but with so many backdrop options, it’s well worth it.

GREEN BAY/DE PERE
Having lived in both of these areas, I’ve explored just about every corner. If you’re spending a weekend near Lambeau Field and need more ideas, feel free to reach out via Instagram or comment below! Here, you’ll find a blend of small-city and cozy-town vibes.
Downtown De Pere
Both downtown areas are quite similar and equally enjoyable, but I personally favor downtown De Pere—it’s usually less crowded!
Meyer Theatre
In my opinion, this is one of the coolest buildings in Downtown Green Bay! The marquee is iconic, and if you catch a show, the interior architecture is a stunning throwback to an older era.
Cherry Street Parking Ramp
You know I love shooting on top of parking ramps, and this one is never crowded (and pretty affordable) with a fantastic view of the city and the bay!
Titletown District
This is Green Bay’s newest hotspot, right next to Lambeau Field. A few cute snaps at the home of the Packers are a must, but don’t forget to cross the street for food, activities, and plenty of photo ops! Honestly, it’s beautiful year-round, with an ice-skating rink in the winter and yard games in the summer. (We even took our wedding photos here, so I’m a bit biased!)
Voyageur Park
Some of my very first Instagram posts were taken here! It’s a spacious park with plenty of gorgeous spots for capturing De Pere and the Fox River.
SHEBOYGAN
My chosen hometown. I discovered Sheboygan through the local theatre community and used to drive an hour each way just to spend most of my evenings here—so you know it’s special to me. It’s a small city with a big heart.
Deland Beach
If you’re visiting in the summer, you must stop by the beach in Sheboygan. It’s quiet and absolutely beautiful—perfect for a beach day or simply dipping your toes in the water
Breakwater Lighthouse
Adjacent to Deland Beach is the iconic Sheboygan Lighthouse. It’s a bit of a bumpy, yet peaceful walk! I highly recommend visiting at sunset to capture that magical golden hour light.
Maywood Park
My best friend introduced me to this spot on one of my more recent trips home. This little park is tucked away, offering gorgeous views—especially in early spring!
MILWAUKEE
I haven’t spent nearly enough time in Milwaukee, but aside from Madison, it’s one of the coolest cities in the state! If you’re seeking big-city vibes, this is the place to be.
The Milwaukee Domes
These domes are a perfect year-round destination, which is a major plus in Wisconsin! With three different exhibits, you’ll find plenty of backdrop options.
Milwaukee Art Museum
In my opinion, this is the coolest museum in Wisconsin. We often get lost just wandering and exploring, making each visit a unique experience.
