AT HOME • IOWA NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHY

There’s something quietly magical about those first few months being home with your baby. For this in-home newborn (ish) session, we didn’t need to stage much. Their love filled the room and told the story for us.

Why I Love In-Home Newborn Photography

At-home sessions are different from studio work. They’re slower, softer, and deeply personal. Every creak of the floorboard, every light leak through the curtains, tells your story.

And when baby is wrapped in the blanket Grandma knit or lying on your bed beside the dog, that’s the kind of memory that lasts.

What to Expect from a Newborn Session at Home

While you’re cozied up in your home, here’s how I approach newborn photography:

  • I use natural light whenever possible to create that dreamy, nostalgic feeling
  • No stiff posing, just gentle direction and storytelling guidance
  • Sessions typically last 1–2 hours, with plenty of time for feedings and cuddles
  • I focus on authentic, artistic frames that reflect your home and energy.
