Madison Maternity & Newborn Photography
Because these days won't wait
Whether you're counting down the days until you meet your little one or you've already welcomed them into the world...I'm so glad you're here.
First of all...congratulations.
Growing your family is one of the biggest, most exciting adventures you'll ever experience, and I truly believe it deserves to be celebrated.
This season is filled with anticipation, excitement, and so many little moments that are easy to miss while you're living them. The tiny kicks. The nursery coming together. The way your partner looks at you. The sleepy newborn snuggles. Before you know it, this chapter becomes the next one.
That's why I love what I do.
My goal isn't to create perfectly posed photos. It's to create images that bring you right back to this season every time you look at them.
From helping you decide what to wear to guiding you through your entire session, I'm here to make the experience feel relaxed, enjoyable, and as stress-free as possible.
You don't have to know how to pose.
You don't need a perfectly sleepy baby.
You don't need to have everything figured out. Just show up. I've got the rest.
The experience
Personalized Planning
We'll chat about your vision, choose the perfect location or studio setup, and plan a session that feels like you.
Styling Guidance
Not sure what to wear? I've got you. I'll help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and make you feel confident.
Relaxed Sessions
No awkward posing. No pressure. I'll guide you naturally while leaving plenty of room for genuine connection and those beautiful in-between moments.
Baby-Led Newborn Experience
Babies don't work on a schedule...and that's okay. We'll take our time, follow your baby's lead, and keep the session relaxed from beginning to end.
Artwork You'll Actually Enjoy
Your gallery is just the beginning. I'll help you turn your favorite images into albums, wall art, gifts, and keepsakes you'll enjoy every single day—not just digital files that stay on your phone.
Support Every Step of the Way
Questions before your session? Need help choosing between collections? Wondering what happens next? Just ask. Seriously. I'm here for all of it.
More Than Just Beautiful Photos
The truth is...
Most people don't book maternity or newborn photos because they know exactly what they're doing.
They book because they don't want to forget this season.
If this is your first baby, everything feels brand new.
If this isn't your first, you already know just how quickly these days go by.
Either way...
You don't have to have it all figured out before your session.
That's what I'm here for.
From the moment you book until your gallery is delivered, I'll walk you through every step so you can spend less time stressing and more time soaking in this chapter with your growing family.

FAQs - I've got you
When should I book my maternity session?
I recommend scheduling your maternity session between 28–34 weeks. During this time, your bump is beautifully visible, but you're usually still comfortable enough to enjoy your session.
When should I book my newborn session?
The sooner, the better! Most newborn sessions take place within the first 5–21 days after birth, but don't worry if your baby is older—we can still create beautiful images at any age.
Do you provide dresses or wraps?
Yes! Maternity clients have access to my client closet, and I have wraps and simple accessories available for newborn sessions.
Can my partner, children, or dog be included?
Absolutely! Immediate family (parents, children, and dogs) are always welcome. If you'd like to include grandparents or additional family members, they can be added for $25 per person.
What if my baby won't sleep?
That's completely okay. Babies make the rules during newborn sessions. We take our time, allow for feeding, cuddles, diaper changes, and breaks whenever they're needed.
How long does it take to receive my gallery?
Your gallery will be delivered within 2–3 weeks, and you'll be able to choose your favorite images, purchase additional images if you'd like, and order beautiful prints, albums, wall art, gifts, and more directly from your gallery.
Do you offer mini or micro sessions?
Absolutely! I offer seasonal mini sessions throughout the year, and I also offer micro sessions year-round for those looking for something shorter or more specific.
If you have an idea that isn't listed on my website, I'd love to hear it! Reach out, and let's plan something that fits exactly what you're looking for.
What if what I'm looking for isn't listed in your collections?
No problem! While most families find exactly what they're looking for in one of my collections, I know every family is different. If you have something specific in mind or don't see exactly what you're looking for, reach out! I'd be happy to chat and see if we can create something that's the perfect fit for your family.
Can I purchase additional images later?
Absolutely! Each collection includes a set number of hand-edited images, but you'll always have the option to purchase additional images or upgrade to your full gallery after viewing your photos. You'll also be able to order professional prints, wall art, albums, holiday cards, and gifts directly from your gallery whenever you're ready.
A Little Extra Love
One of my favorite things is watching families come back year after year.
Many of my clients first find me during pregnancy, then return for newborn photos, milestones, family sessions, birthdays, and all of life's beautiful moments in between. Getting to watch your family grow is truly one of the greatest parts of what I do.
As a thank you for trusting me with your memories, returning clients may occasionally receive exclusive session perks, priority booking opportunities, surprise gallery extras, and other little surprises throughout the year.
Because around here, you're more than just another session on my calendar.
You're part of the Willow Harper family.
