Wisconsin photography is not just pictures of a place, but how that place has created a wonderful life for all who live and visit there. Because family is so important to the people of Wisconsin, there are many activities that your family will always remember.
What better place to start then the Wisconsin Dells in central Wisconsin. This area is the undisputed Waterpark Capital of the World®. You’ll add many happy, smiling faces to your Wisconsin photography when you capture your kids’ wide-eyed amazement as they experience Noah’s Ark, the world’s largest waterpark complex, and Kalahari Waterpark Resort Convention Center, the largest indoor waterpark in the United States. There’s a more natural kind of excitement and memorable Wisconsin photography when you take the family on one of the boat trips through the Wisconsin River gorge that is the Dells.
Your Wisconsin photography will also reveal your family’s fun in Milwaukee. Known as the City of Festivals, Milwaukee is proud of its ethnic history and welcomes your family and your camera to the city’s many celebrations of that heritage: Polish, French, Greek, Italian, German and many more. At the top of the list is Summerfest, one of the largest music festivals in the world. Another special event for your Wisconsin photography album, especially if you love trains, is November’s Trainfest, the largest operating model railroad show in the United States. Make sure to include visits to the Lake Michigan shoreline and its many parks, beaches and aquatic activities: sailing, fishing charters and birdwatching.
Add to your Wisconsin photography the rugged beauty of the Door County peninsula that extends 75 miles into northern Lake Michigan. This is a land of majestic rocky shorelines, studded with lighthouses, charming villages and many launch points for a multitude of waterborne sports. Then, head northwest into the wild, northern country of Wisconsin, where the natural beauty of many national forests and lakes awaken your spirit and seem to beg to become a part of your Wisconsin photography. This is a pristine wonderland during the winter, when you can take pictures of snowmobile trips, skiing and snowboarding and pleasant company around a roaring fire.
For the truly adventurous, who want to create a special section of Wisconsin photography, travel to the farthest point north, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior. Apostle Islands can be a romantic getaway and a great family fun destination. The waterways among the island’s amazing rock formations and lake caves is the closest thing to heaven for novice and serious kayakers. Then, take your Wisconsin photography journey southwest to the St. Croix Falls area. This is true Northwoods country, as wild as anywhere in the upper Midwest. The St. Croix National Scenic Waterway offers more than 200 miles of whitewater and river rafting explorations. The area is also known for its many spectacular waterfalls, hiking trails and dozens of other outdoor activities throughout the year.
Focus your camera on the Wisconsin photography opportunities that are more than cheese, beer and bratwurst (although enjoy those too!) and you’ll discover a wonderful time for you and your family.
