Senior Portrait Photography with Twig & Olive
Not Just a Senior Photo, Authentic Versions of you.
Based in Madison, Wisconsin, we photograph each senior with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story. Every session blends candid storytelling with thoughtful portraiture, resulting in imagery that’s both artful and honest, capturing the real magic of everyday life.
Standing on the Edge of Everything New
This is your spotlight, your moment.
Senior portraits shouldn’t feel stiff or scripted; they should look like you. At Twig & Olive, we design each session around your style: choose locations that fit, dial in wardrobe, and use natural direction so you can relax and enjoy it. We map out a plan together, from the classic portrait your family will frame to the editorial set you’ll post with pride. Bring your vibe, props, or activities if you want; we’ll time it for good light and keep the flow efficient. The result is clean, modern imagery that’s unmistakably you.
Senior year is a threshold: late-night talks about what’s next, final games under the lights, last walks through familiar halls. It deserves more than a yearbook photo. We’ll create a thoughtful record of who you are now and who you’re becoming, with images that feel lived-in, confident, and real.
Your senior year isn’t about fitting in: it’s about standing out.
Our sessions are designed to celebrate who you truly are, not just how you look. No stiff poses, no filters. Just real, honest moments that reflect you.

Session Prep + Resources
Props with personality
Props are always welcome and encouraged for senior sessions, whether that’s a basketball, guitar, skateboard, letterman jacket, or even your furry friends. Pets are great—as long as the location allows them—just bring a handler, leash, water, and treats, and plan their cameo early.
Once we know what you are planning on bringing along, we’ll map where each prop fits the light and location so it feels natural rather than staged.
Outfit Tips, Tricks & A Client Closet just for you
We like to keep wardrobe planning as straightforward as possible. You can pull looks from our Client Closet, mix them with pieces you already love, or build new outfits that fit your style, season, and locations. We’ll keep it practical and cohesive with guidance on color, texture, and layering so everything photographs cleanly.
