Photographer for babies, children, and families in Madison, WI.
It feels like just yesterday that I did big brother’s newborn session. Now it was Mason’s turn!
I love watching families grow before my eyes and I’ve been with the Benedict family when they started out as just two at a maternity session. Now they are a family of four.
Big brother Sammy was super sweet, especially when I asked him to give his baby brother a kiss.
For the fourth year running, Rachel Manzke Photography made the best maternity photographers in the Madison area list on Expertise.com. It’s an honor to be listed with such talented photographers in my area and I’m thrilled I could be listed as one of the Sun Prairie Photographers on the list of best maternity photographers in Madison for 2020!
This is my second maternity session with Sarah, Adam and their dog Gus. Having 2 year old Emma with them this time made it extra special. I’m so excited for their family and can’t wait to meet their little girl.
I had the pleasure of photographing 8 day old Soraya in the studio. This was the 3rd newborn session I did for her momma. Little sweet Soraya was so sweet for her short newborn session. My favorite setup was with the pink hammock but her snuggling with the tiny felt bunny came in a close second.
I was thrilled to have baby Najellie come into the studio for her family newborn session. Big brother was excited to show off his little sister. Of course we had to do a setup with her dad’s Sun Prairie firefighter gear.
Sweet 7 day old Vivian came into the studio with her parents for her family newborn session.
I had the pleasure of photographing little Jaxon in the studio for his newborn session. He arrived a little early so I made sure to give mom and dad enough time at home with him before they came into the studio. I met him at 25 days old and he was the perfect little nugget to photograph.
It was a treat to have this family of six in the studio for Hunter’s newborn session. His older sisters (ages 2, 4, 6) were such good helpers with him and loved to give him baby snuggles. They are all huge Harry Potter fans so of course we had to do a Harry Potter set-up. The full gallery had a wonderful mix of full family, siblings, just mom and dad with new baby, Hunter by himself in the themed set-ups as well as timeless and classic white.
Little baby Dylan came into the studio with his mom at just 6 days old. The theme for his nursery is superhero so of course we had to include a Batman setup with a little outfit mom brought in.
Last Fall I met Heather and Ross to take some anniversary pictures including their two fur babies. The anniversary session turned into a pregnancy announcement session! I couldn’t wait to see them again this spring. Little Marshall arrived three weeks early but he was ready to be here. 10 days after he arrived he was in the studio for his newborn session. As always, I have so many favorites from his session but I think the ones of him with a quilt his great grandmother made for him nears the top.
