Senior Portraits for Chicago Families Vacationing in Northern Wisconsin

Capture Senior Memories Where They Matter Most

There’s something magical about summer in Northern Wisconsin.

The lake.
The sunsets.
The cabin you return to year after year.

It’s the backdrop for countless memories — and the perfect place to capture one of the biggest milestones: senior portraits.

At James Stokes & Co., we specialize in creating authentic, outdoorsy senior photos for families from Chicago, Naperville, Barrington, and surrounding areas who spend their summers in Wisconsin's beautiful Northwoods.

Instead of a studio backdrop, we’ll use:

  • Your family’s lake property

  • The pine forests and winding trails

  • Rustic docks, wildflower fields, and golden sunsets

We travel across Northern and Central Wisconsin — including Minocqua, Eagle River, Rhinelander, Tomahawk, Medford, and Wausau — to capture seniors where they feel most at home.

Whether your senior is into fishing, hiking, sports, or simply soaking up the sunshine, we’ll create a session that feels natural, timeless, and true to them.

Why Book Senior Photos in Northern Wisconsin?

Natural, beautiful backdrops — no studio lights needed
Relaxed, personal sessions — no rushed appointments
Flexible scheduling around your vacation plans
20+ years of professional experience with seniors and families

Make Your Senior Session Part of Your Summer Tradition

We book a limited number of senior sessions each summer to keep the experience personal and intentional.
Sessions typically fill fast during July and August — especially around major summer weekends and holidays.

If you’re planning a trip to your Wisconsin cabin this summer, now’s the perfect time to schedule your senior’s portraits.
