Grand Haven offers a stunning mix of scenic beaches, historic landmarks, and vibrant downtown streets. From the iconic Grand Haven Lighthouse and State Park beach to the charming marina views, it’s the perfect place for family portraits, senior sessions, couples, and branding photography.

Some favorite spots include Grand Haven State Park for beach portraits, the Boardwalk and Lighthouse Pier for iconic coastal shots, and downtown Grand Haven for colorful, urban backdrops. Nearby Rosy Mound Natural Area also provides beautiful wooded trails and sand dunes for a variety of looks.

Yes! Senior sessions in Grand Haven are very popular. Whether you want natural beach settings at Grand Haven State Park, sunset shots on the pier, or casual downtown vibes, there are plenty of perfect spots to match your style.
