Newborn Photography | Timeless & Natural Baby Portraits

Newborns don’t stay little for long. In the blur of sleepless nights and firsts, these early days pass in an instant -and that’s why newborn photography matters.

At Twig & Olive Photography, we create soft, natural, and heartfelt newborn portraits that capture the tiny details – the delicate eyelashes, the curl of their fingers, the peaceful expressions of brand-new life. Our style is relaxed and organic, focusing on the quiet beauty of these fleeting moments rather than stiff, overly posed setups.

A Safe, Professional Approach to Newborn Photography

Safety and comfort are at the core of everything we do. Courtney is a licensed RN in Wisconsin with experience in emergency medicine, labor and delivery, and family care. This medical background gives her a deep understanding of newborn safety and handling, ensuring that every baby is positioned comfortably and securely.

We also work with top-tier newborn prop vendors to style our sessions beautifully. Need inspiration for wraps, bonnets, or handmade props? Check out Sew Whimsey on Etsy for stunning, heirloom-quality newborn accessories. (And we have a studio filled with them for your session, too!)
