Newborn Photography Portfolio

The first few weeks go fast, and most of them happen in a blur of no sleep and figuring things out. Our newborn photography sessions are designed to work within that. We keep things calm, warm, and flexible. Your baby sets the pace, not us.

We shoot both studio sessions at our space inside Garver Feed Mill and in-home lifestyle sessions where we come to you. Studio work gives us full control of light and warmth. In-home sessions capture the real environment your baby is coming home to. Both produce images you’ll want on your walls. We also work with beautiful handmade props and wraps, including pieces from Sew Whimsey on Etsy, and we keep a full collection at the studio for your session.

Why Newborn Photography with Twig & Olive

Courtney, co-owner of Twig & Olive, is a licensed RN in Wisconsin with experience in labor and delivery, emergency medicine, and family care. That medical background shapes every newborn session we do. She understands safe positioning, reads baby cues in real time, and knows when to pause, adjust, or let a baby settle. It’s not just experience behind a camera. It’s clinical training applied to a creative setting.

We’re based in Madison, Wisconsin, but we photograph newborns across the country. Check our travel calendar to see where we’ll be next. The ideal window for newborn sessions is within the first 14 days, so we recommend booking after 20 weeks of pregnancy to secure your spot. If your baby is already here, reach out immediately and we’ll do everything we can to fit you in.
