Point beach state park photoshoot

Point Beach State Park in Two Rivers, Wisconsin has easily become one of my favorite locations to photograph at. This lesser-known state park is home to soft golden sand, hiking trails, and the sparkling blue waters of Lake Michigan. It’s stunning, to say the least.

Point Beach is the perfect place to not only enjoy on a hot summer afternoon, but also gain photo inspiration. This location has been one of my go-to photos spots also due to its proximity. It’s only a 45 minute drive from Green Bay, 1 hour from Appleton, 1.5 hours from Door County, and 2 hours from Milwaukee.

This was one of many sessions I photographed at Point Beach State Park over the summer, but this portrait session will forever remain one of my favorites.

The sand dunes, wooden walkway, and golden hour were the perfect recipe for a gorgeous backdrop.

Feeling inspired by the beauty of Lake Michigan, I asked my model if she’d be willing to dive in to get some creative shots… after a few sips of sangria, she was all in to brave the cool waters.

I hope these photos give you some inspo to get creative and try out a new location!
