Meredith [Plainfield, IL Lifestyle Newborn Photographer]

Sweet Meredith! This was such a fun session because I got to see Ryan and Kelly again after photographing their gorgeous wedding 4 years ago. Time seriously flies!

They've done tons of traveling as a married couple, and decorated this little peanut's nursery with all kinds of things they've brought back from their trips (including a little Costa Rican stuffed sloth toy that is peeking out of the hot air balloons above the rocking chair).

I also got to meet the world's most adorable dog, Indy! Seriously, the personality on this dog makes me want to photograph her all day. If you have a dog, you must include them in your newborn session, they were your first "baby" after all. ;)

And finally, one of the most special things we photographed was Ryan rocking his daughter in the chair that belonged to his great grandmother and has rocked every generation of his family (Meredith makes 4!). How incredible is that? I hope that they will always treasure that photo, and someday Meredith will love it too!

The J Family [Chicago Family Photographer]

This is my second time seeing these adorable twins this year, and this time I got to photograph the whole family AND the leaves are sooooo beautiful in Ohio right now! Gosh, I love fall! We met at Rocky River Reservation and of course had to end the session with one my old school favorite activities - leaf throwing! Did anyone else do this as a kid? Or rake up huge piles of leaves and jump in them? So. Much. Fun. I'm pretty sure it kept my siblings and I entertained for hours as children (yes, I'm still that easily amused)!

Ten Years! [Iowa City, IA and Naperville, IL Family and Child Photographer]

"A lot of good love can happen in 10 years.." 
-- Jim Carrey

Ten years ago I took a chance on a BIG dream, and you all have been a part of making it real. 


Thanks so much for being a part of this crazy journey. I'm so very thankful for the opportunity I've been given to document so many amazing moments for my clients over the years - new life, new love, and a million memories.

As a thank you to all of my clients, I am doing something I've never done before! I'm opening up the archives!

What does that mean?

 For any session from 2009-2018 (sorry, 2019 doesn’t count for this deal), I’m giving you the opportunity to purchase your jpg files for $100 per session.

Yep, you heard that right.


  • Have more than one session you want? Each additional session is 50% off. 

  • If it made the gallery, you get it. Files are color corrected only, only fully edited images may be included if I used it for blogging or social media. Additional retouching is not available for this sale.

  • These are high resolution images, unwatermarked. You MUST have placed an initial order at the time of your session. Don’t worry, this is basically everyone.


This ends October 31st, 2019, and the archives will CLOSE. So, don’t wait! Email me (info@jenmadigan.com) to snag your precious memories!

The A Family [Shorewood, IL Family and Child Photographer]

The A family's session was rained out in May, so we pushed it back to August and barely escaped the rain this time (I think it had rained alllll night, so we lucked out!). These two boys are adorable, and kept me on my toes pretty much the whole session. Jess and Frank just went with it though, and with a little patience and a lot of bribes (lol) we got some really cute stuff.

The key for taking photos of kids? Be patient. Let them be a little silly sometimes. It will ALLLLL be ok, even if you have to edit out tiny Theo's hands from the pic of Jess and Frank because he just wanted to be held. ;) That's life, mamas! No stress...we just roll with it.
