Newborn Photography FAQs | Sun Prairie & Madison, WI

Unless you had booked an In-Home session or a Fresh 48, your newborn session will take place at my Rio, WI studio – Finch & Mae Photography. Easily accessible for Madison and surrounding Wisconsin communities.

Do you provide outfits or styling?

Yes. Studio props, wraps, headbands, bonnets and textures are provided. Moms also have access to a curated client wardrobe for a soft, cohesive look. I do offer a few different neutral toned sweaters for dad to use. Styling is neutral, timeless and designed to photograph beautifully for years to come.

Absolutely and I actually recommend it. Bundled collections are available when you book any newborn session alongside maternity, milestone or one year portraits. This offers built-in savings, and priority scheduling throughout baby’s first year.

Yes. When you book any newborn session (Fresh 48 and In-Home included) you will receive 10% off a cake smash session. This makes it easy to document your baby’s first birthday with the same photographer and aesthetic.

The Village Feature: Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique

Prenatal, Pediatric & Family Chiropractic Care Serving Columbus, Beaver Dam, & Beyond

Pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood ask so much of woman’s body – and having the right support can make all of the difference.

That’s why I am so honored to introduce you to Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique, a family – centered chiropractic practice serving Columbus, Beaver Dam and surrounding Wisconsin communities.

Led by Dr. Janel Voelker – this practice offers thoughtful, thorough and deeply personalized care for each patient no matter if they are women, babies, children or the entire family. Janel has a special passion for supporting mothers through their pregnancy, labor and beyond into motherhood.

Meet The Heart Behind Holistic Life Chiropractic

Holistic Life Chiropractic & Boutique is owner and operated by Dr. Janel Voelker, D.C., C.A.C.C.P., a chiropractor with 19 years of experience with a deep calling to serve families.

Dr. Voelker’s passion lies in helping women so they can experience healthier, more natural pregnancies, smoother labors and to feel supported in their postpartum healing. This care naturally extends into serving their babies, children and families.

In April 2024, she and her family had purchased their Columbus, WI office – a space that is rich in meaning. The building was originally built out by her late brother and father over 25 years ago, and Dr. Voelker had worked in this special space before attending chiropractic school.

To preserve the legacy of the space while continuing to serve families that are close to home was incredibly important to her. Today, that legacy lives on through her practice.

Services Include:

-Prenatal Chiropractic Care

-Pediatric Chiropractic Care

In addition to chiropractic care, the space also includes a Christian – focused boutique, thoughtfully curated to support families beyond the adjustment table.

What Makes This Practice Unique

One of the things that patients consistently share is how thorough the care is at Holistic Life Chiropractic.

Dr. Voelker doesn’t just adjust one area of your body – she checks patients head to toe at every single visit.

This Includes:

-Full Spine

-Extremeties

-Digestion

-Cranial Work

-Nervous System Function

No two patients have the same adjustment, because no two bodies are the same. Every visit is tailored to the individual patient’s needs. By doing this, it allows the body to heal and function at its best.

Patients also deeply appreciate the practice’s knowledge and guidance around quality supplementation to support whole – body healing.

What Dr. Voelker Loves Most About Her Work

The answer is quite simple: the patients

Appointments are intentionally longer, patients become more than just a name on a schedule. Dr. Voelker and hear team truly know the families that they serve – their stores, their children and their wellbeing.

The connection is at the heart of everything that they do.

Something Most People Don’t Know

Dr. Voelker is not only a chiropractor – she is also a ChiroPastor.

She and her husband were called to open a church while living in Tomahawk, WI. Founding The Rock Church four years ago. Dr. Voelker served as head pastor for two years before they were called bvack to the Columbus area to care for her aging parents.

She was able to be with her father when he passed in May – an experience she considers one of the greatest gifts that God has given her. Although chiropractic care is her primary calling, she continues to preach, fill in at local churches and speaks at women’s conferences.

That depth of care, faith and life experiences flows naturally into how she serves families.

A Special Message For Local Moms

Dr. Voelker considers it to be a true honor to care for women during their pregnancy and to continue to care for their little ones.

She loves to witness the changes that chiropractic care can bring to a woman’s body – helping labor an delivery move more smoothly. As she often says, she works to ensure that the “portal of exit” is as open as possible.

Dr. Voelker holds Pediatric and Perinatal Certifications from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and is Webster Certified. Combined with 19 years of experience working alongside families, pregnant mothers and midwives, her care is both deeply informed and deeply compassionate.

The Village Feature: Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services

Empowered Midwifery Care Serving Madison, Beaver Dam, Columbus, Waupun & Southeast Wisconsin

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are some of the most sacred, vulnerable, and transformative seasons of a woman’s life. And yet, so many women feel rushed, unheard, or unsupported during these moments.

That’s why I am so honored to introduce you to Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services, a midwifery practice serving Madison, Beaver Dam, Columbus, Watertown, Waupun, and surrounding areas of Southeast Wisconsin.

This is more than medical care. This is deep, intentional, soul-centered support.

Meet the Heart Behind Birthing Miracles

Birthing Miracles is led by Joey, a licensed midwife whose calling to this work runs incredibly deep.

Before becoming a midwife, Joey worked as a doula in hospital settings. It was there that she began to realize something powerful: women deserved more. More education. More autonomy. More belief in their bodies. More support for natural, physiological birth.

So she asked God what she was meant to do — and this path opened.

Today, Joey describes herself as honored to walk alongside women during the most miraculous moments of their lives. She doesn’t just attend births — she holds space, teaches, empowers, and nurtures families from preconception through postpartum.

What Birthing Miracles Pregnancy Services Offers

Joey provides comprehensive midwifery care that focuses on education, empowerment, and whole-family support.

Her services include:

• Pregnancy care

• Birth support

• Postpartum care

• Breastfeeding support

• Preconception care

• Education throughout every stage

She believes birth is a miracle — and so is the woman carrying it.

Her approach honors both the physical and emotional experience of motherhood, ensuring women feel informed, supported, and respected in every decision they make.

What Makes Birthing Miracles Unique

One of the most important things Joey wants families to know is this: midwives are highly skilled medical providers.

Birthing Miracles offers care that includes:

• Medical licensing

• IV skills

• Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) training

• Twin deliveries

• VBAC support

• Breech deliveries

Midwifery care blends clinical knowledge with emotional and spiritual support — giving families both safety and connection.

What Joey Loves Most About Her Work

When asked what her favorite part of running her business is, Joey’s answer is simple: everything.

She loves:

• Meeting new clients

• Watching families become empowered

• Seeing confidence grow

• Witnessing transformation

• Supporting families of all sizes

From first-time moms to families of 14 — every journey is sacred.

Something Most People Don’t Realize

Many people don’t know that midwives are licensed medical providers with deep clinical training.

They aren’t “alternative” — they are skilled, educated, and capable professionals who offer a different kind of care: one that centers the mother, honors birth, and supports families holistically.

What’s Coming Next for Birthing Miracles

Joey is building something truly special.

Upcoming offerings include:

• Postpartum groups

• Breastfeeding meetings

• Breastfeeding education

• Prenatal education

• A collective of doulas

• An all-in-one support space

Her mission is simple: to give families education, empowerment, and confidence through every decision they make.
