Emersyn [Grinnell, IA Lifestyle Newborn Photography]

I had the opportunity to photograph Morgan (my cousin) and Chris' sweet little girl Emersyn about a week and a half ago, when she was just 1 week old. She was SUCH a great baby!! We took a ton of photos and she slept nearly the whole time, she's a natural model I think. ;)

It's been so fun having all of these new babies born to family members, I am so thrilled for Morgan and Chris - Emersyn is just perfection. I can't wait to see her grow over the years.

Morgan and Chris - Congratulations again!! It was so great seeing you guys, and of course meeting sweet Emersyn. I hope you like this sneak peek!

These two photos are probably some of my favorites from the whole year.

Liam [Solon, IA Newborn Lifestyle Photography]

Sweet Liam. This little guy was such a great model during his newborn session a couple of weeks ago, on a very snowy Sunday. His mom, Aubrey (a Kate Middleton lookalike, no?), runs the awesome local wedding site called Bride Meets Wedding (check it out, it's a fabulous resource!!). Liam is Aubrey and Nick's first child, and they were total naturals. I just had so much fun photographing this little guy, he is so sweet and so handsome!

Aubrey and Nick - Congratulations again on the birth of Liam!! Thank you so much for choosing me to come into your home and photograph such a special time in your lives. I hope you like the sneak peek!

Julian: 1 Year [Iowa City, IA Child and Family Lifestyle Photography]

Oh Julian. This kid is just…the best. I'm so happy to have met this family, and now Coelle is the new assistant/stylist at Jen Madigan Photography! Not only am I getting more work done, but my abs get quite the workout too, as I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I do when we get together. :)

Anyways, back to Julian. Little guy turned 1 last Friday, and is just as cute as he was when I photographed him as a tiny newborn. He makes the best faces, his laugh is infectious just like his mama, and he got those great blue eyes from his dad. I'm sure he will grow up to be hilarious and kind as well, as both Coelle and Chris are some of the funniest and sweetest people I've ever met.

I hope you guys like this sneak peek! Styling for everyone was of course, done by Coelle. Hair and makeup by the very talented Kayla! :)
