Client Favorites: Top 5 Locations for Family Photos in Wausau
As a Wausau family photographer, I've had the privilege of capturing timeless portraits in some of the city's most picturesque locations. I have many locations in and around Wausau that I have scouted and use just for my family photo clients. I also have families make requests that I travel to them at their camp ground or cabin while they are visiting the area, or their family home or land outside of the Wausau area. There are so many beautiful spots for family photos! Here are five favorite spots in and around Wausau where I love to photograph families:
Rib Mountain State Park
Rib Mountain offers a stunning backdrop of wooded trails, rocky outcrops, and panoramic views from the observation tower. Whether it's the vibrant colors of fall or the lush greenery of summer, Rib Mountain provides a natural and scenic setting for unforgettable family portraits.
Eau Claire Dells
Located just a short drive from Wausau, Eau Claire Dells features picturesque waterfalls, wooden bridges, and serene trails. The tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty make it an ideal location for capturing candid moments and creating beautiful family memories. This location is one I usually suggest for family with older children.
Downtown Wausau
Downtown Wausau provides a charming urban backdrop with historic buildings, colorful murals, and bustling streets. From the vibrant energy of the farmers' market to the architectural details of the old buildings, downtown Wausau offers a unique and dynamic setting for family portraits.
In Home Sessions
Sometimes the best moments are captured right in the comfort of your own home. In-home sessions allow families to showcase their personal spaces, creating intimate and meaningful portraits that reflect their everyday life and cherished memories.
By the Water
Wausau is blessed with scenic waterways like the Wisconsin River or nearby lakes and ponds. Waterfront locations offer a serene and tranquil setting, perfect for capturing relaxed and natural family portraits against the backdrop of shimmering waters and serene landscapes.
Each of these Wausau locations offers its own unique charm and allows families to express their personalities while creating beautiful portraits that will be cherished for years to come.
