For Madison’s senior pictures, we wanted to create a session as bold and inspiring as her passion for rowing crew. With her upcoming commitment to row at Minnesota University, it only made sense to capture these rowing crew senior pictures on a lake that highlights the athlete she is and the next chapter she’s about to dive into. We scheduled her session early in the morning, just as the sun began to rise and the golden light hit the water. The crisp 27-degree temperature even brought a stunning, ethereal fog across the lake, giving each shot an incredibly unique look that felt like something out of a dream.

Madison was an absolute pro, letting her love for the sport shine through as she posed on the dock, oar in hand. Her confidence and excitement for what lies ahead really came through in the photos, and the fog drifting over the water made each image feel both peaceful and powerful. We took a mix of action shots on the water and more contemplative images to capture her senior year and celebrate her incredible achievements. The photos turned out beautifully with the lake and fog acting as a perfect background that truly represented the dedication she’s shown to rowing.

Madison’s session highlights how senior pictures can go beyond just portraits—they can capture the essence of who you are at this amazing time in your life. For Madison, that’s rowing crew on a quiet, foggy lake with a serene morning sky, a memory of home before her next adventure begins at Minnesota.
