McFarland senior Olivia suggested we take some of her senior pictures at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art’s rooftop garden. We had never done a senior photo session there before, and we loved the vibe. Really unique look with downtown Madison as the backdrop and the glass stairwell inside was a great spot! We then headed over the Tenney Park for some sunset shots by the lake. Olivia rocked it and we love how the images turned out.
We love it when we can work with a family over and over again. Especially when they’re as awesome as the Voss Family! 🙂 Verona High School senior Audrey decided to have pictures taken at the arboretum, which is a great choice for nature photos. With so many different environments, in one relatively small spot, it gives us a lot of different “looks” during the photo session. And it helps to have such a gorgeous subject like Audrey! Thanks Lori, Chris, Jared, and Audrey!
We photographed Adriana at Epic’s campus in Verona. The campus provides multiple backgrounds like barns, verandas, wildflowers, and even a pool! Which was perfect as Adriana swims for McFarland high school and we were able to end our session with her jumping in!
Looking for senior portrait ideas? Look no further than our photoshoot with Madison West Senior Elia. Elia spent most of a day at the hair salon getting her hair hand-painted purple for her senior pictures. The purple bayalage technique combined with her outfit choices, including a fun floral pattern romper with overlay, 2 beautiful natural locations, AND her french bulldog resulted in a fantastic and unforgettable senior portrait experience.
When it comes to hair, outfits, locations and even pets Dave and I have tons of experience and ideas to help guide you. We love hearing our clients ideas and interests and then working together to craft the perfect senior pictures experience.

At studio indigo photography we love it when seniors bring their pets to the portrait sessions. In this senior portrait Elia and her dog are backlit by the sun which creates a long shadow coming toward the camera. There is really no pose involved in the picture, we just liked the lighting and thought it would be a cool effect for this senior picture with her french bulldog.
Elia works at a hair salon and decided to go for a beautiful purple bayalage treatment for her senior pictures session. The purple looks amazing with the arboretum as a natural location. This senior girl pose is a simple idea with her naturally pulling her hand through her hair. We love trying different posing ideas with our high school seniors to create authentic, natural and candid expressions.

The uw arboretum is a gorgeous, nature location for your senior portraits. There are so many places with different backdrops and colors that work with any senior portrait outfit ideas. In this photo, Madison West Senior Elia is walking through beautiful yellow grasses. This is one of our favorite senior girl pose ideas to have the client slowly walk through the grass while running her fingers through her hair and looking down and to the side. This portrait also has the setting sun skimming over the grass, creating a wonderful warm glow in the senior picture. And Elia’s purple bayalage hair just pops out of the picture!
This half length sitting senior picture pose was photographed at the UW arboretum in Madison, WI. This is a simple senior girl pose idea where we have the senior naturally run their fingers through their hair while looking down. Often times the senior girls will feel a little silly which will result in a nice natural and authentic smile. Elia decided to have her hair dyed purple for her senior pictures session which contrasts beautifully with the yellow and greens of this natural portrait location.
Elia looks amazing with her purple hair and brown and orange floral pattern romper with maxi overlay. This sitting pose is on the dock at Wingra Lake for a natural senior portrait in nature. We photographed this portrait using a shallow depth of field to create a soft senior picture that separated Elia from the background. The oranges and blues from her romper contrast nicely with the blues of Lake Wingra in Madison.
We loved the colorful canoes and kayaks at wingra park in madison and how they played off Elia’s floral print romper with maxi overlay for this standing senior portrait pose idea. We used the photo merge panoramic brenizer technique to increase the shallow depth of field effect. This simple senior girl pose has the client kick their hip to one side, bend the other leg, have a relaxed arm and then run their fingers through their hair. We use this pose for all of our girl high school senior pictures clients. This was

We love it when our high school seniors bring their pets to the shoot. It’s a great, fun way to remember these special times. With Vernoa Senior Eve we started out at Pope Farm Park in Middleton for some beautiful outdoor shots with wildflowers then made our way to the incredibly fun Epic Campus for some shots at the Epic Stables. That’s where we met Bear. Bear was very excited about being photographed and getting lots of treats! Thanks Eve, Mom and Dad. What a fun night.
This was our first time photographing a senior portrait for a figure skater and Caitlin and family couldn’t have made it easier. We had the entire McFarland Ice Arena to ourselves as we captured some portraits of Caitlin in action. Then it was off to downtown Stoughton and the Stoughton Opera House for some casual and prom dress pictures. We love how the pics turned out. Thanks Caitlin!

Fabulous, fashionable, windy-hair, senior portrait session with Taylor. We started with a gorgeous apple farm and ended up in downtown Madison for some awesome night shots. Thanks Taylor for a fantastic shoot!
There were so many things that could have torpedo’d Jenna’s senior portrait photoshoot. Thunderstorms were in the forecast, Jen spilled the first Ground Zero latte, mosquitoes were in attack mode…but none of that was able to stop this fabulous shoot! Jenna and Mom were awesome as we dashed around Willy St and then zipped out to Pope Farm Park for some gorgeous sunset shots. Thanks so much for asking us to take your senior pics! We loved it!
One of the best parts of being a senior photographer is getting to know wonderful kids and their families. Ellen and her crew are a perfect example. We started at the duck pond fighting the mosquitoes, moved downtown for some State St shots and then finished up at the Memorial Union Terrace for sunset. Jen and I loved all of it! Thanks for letting us take your senior pics!
Downtown Madison was the backdrop for our senior portrait session with Jacob, a 3-sport varsity athlete from Lodi High School. We loved wandering around the city with Jacob and were lucky enough to have his girlfriend Mandy along to help crack him up! Thanks for a fun senior photoshoot!
