Equestrian Senior Portrait Session: Madi at Scarboro Creek Equestrian Center

Senior Portrait Session: Madi at Scarboro Creek Equestrian Center

Madi’s senior portrait session at Scarboro Creek Equestrian Center in Luxemburg, WI was the perfect mix of elegance, personality, and heartfelt memories. From archery and boots to horses and trophies, her portraits beautifully reflect who she is at this exciting milestone in her life.

A Story of Versatility

Madi wanted her session to highlight the many passions that make her unique. We began with her love of archery, capturing her bright smile and confidence with her bow, arrows, and target. These images set the tone for a session that truly celebrated her versatility.

Next, we moved into the heart of her story—her connection with her gelding, One Hot Cookie, affectionately known as Timmy. Walking along the white fences at Scarboro Creek, the bond between the two was evident in every frame. Golden light poured over them during sunset, creating magical portraits that radiate warmth and love.

Honoring Parker

One of the most meaningful parts of Madi’s session was including an ode to her late gelding, Star Fleet Zippo, “Parker.” Parker’s memory lives on in Madi’s heart, and incorporating him into her senior portraits was a touching way to honor the horse that helped shape her journey.

Celebrating Achievements

Madi has worked hard and earned incredible recognition throughout her equestrian career, and she proudly included her awards in her senior portraits. Some of the highlights were:

  • CRC 13 & Under Belt Buckle for being a 3x Versatility Champion

  • 2024 WIHA State Reserve Champion trophy

  • 2019 WIHA District 6 Grand Champion trophies

  • 2021 WIHA State Reserve Champion trophy

These trophies represent years of dedication, talent, and passion—and showcasing them in her session made the portraits even more meaningful.

A Perfect Finish

From walks in a white summer dress to playful moments carrying her boots over her shoulder, Madi’s senior session was full of joy and authenticity. Each outfit told a different piece of her story, weaving together her love of horses, her achievements, and her bright personality.

Madi, it was such a privilege to capture these memories for you. You and Timmy were a dream to work with, and I can’t wait to see all the places life takes you next!
