Those first few weeks with a newborn are a beautiful whirlwind, and I’m here to help you slow down and savor them. With an in-home session, there’s no need to leave the house—I bring the studio to you for a cozy, stress-free experience. No stiff poses or props, just authentic, timeless moments of your family as you are right now.

KIND WORDS

“Jen is an incredibly talented photographer!"

I have never worked with a photographer who is so consistent in capturing and producing the most beautiful images. She just captures the magical moments in the prettiest light EVERY TIME She is kind, patient and just a ton of fun to hang out with while she's taking your family's photos!

"Jen has taken photos for my family and children for years!”

She has the ability to bring out all the “real” and capture true emotion..no stiff, awkward family photos.” A talented photographer is more than just being able to work a camera, it’s connecting with people in a real way to make them feel comfortable and relaxed! 

— Kayla J., Newborn & Family client since 2013

"Jen is wonderful, we’ve had her document our family for years!"

Jen is unbelievably talented, but also kind and understanding. We had an extended family shoot and all the kids cried, basically the whole time. She figured out how to get the best photos in the shortest amount of time and knew when she had what she needed. Jen Madigan Photography is definitely worth the investment."
