hi friend!
I'm Jen!
i'm a chicago & iowa city based newborn photographer, dog mom, STripe enthusiast, and former nanny.
As a child, one of my favorite things was looking through photo albums...my parent's wedding, me sitting on my grandma's lap on a Sunday afternoon, or the excitement of Christmas morning. I love how photography can instantly take you to a time or place, almost like you could reach out and touch it. It's amazing to me how raw and real photography can be, how it preserves a moment forever.
If you're located in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, or Iowa City and are interested in an in home newborn photo session, let's chat!

“Jen has taken our newborn and family photos and we couldn't be happier! Her warm personality puts you right at ease - like taking photos with an old friend. ”
She's flexible and laid back, yet professional and her photographs are phenomenal. I know we'll cherish her photographs forever.

THE jen madigan GUIDEBOOK
Just a few of the things that are prominently featured in my life.
sailboats.
I don't have a boat, but I'd love a friend with a boat... (wink, wink).
dogs. all the dogs.
I'd rather delete an app than photos of my dog on my camera roll, just sayin'.
Travel.
I get a little restless when I'm in one place for too long.
Iowa.
Iowa will always be home.
