There is something incredibly special about being invited into a family’s home to document their very first moments together. In-home newborn sessions allow me to capture your story exactly as it is , relaxed, meaningful, and filled with love. These sessions are some of my favorites because they preserve the beauty of real life during those early days that pass far too quickly.

As a Muscatine newborn photographer serving Iowa City and the Quad Cities, I focus on creating images that feel timeless and authentic. Your home becomes the backdrop for memories you’ll look back on for years to come — from quiet snuggles to playful sibling moments and even the furry family members who are always close by.

A Sweet First Season as a Family of Four

This in-home newborn session was extra special as we documented the first days of life as a family of four. Big sister Teddy was an absolute joy and kept me on my toes the entire time. Her curiosity, excitement, and love for her new baby sibling made for the most genuine moments — the kind you simply can’t recreate.

Baby Florence, lovingly called Fizzy, Fizz, and Fizzer, was a milk-guzzling champ and perfectly content soaking up all the cuddles. And of course, we can’t forget Lucille, the family dog, who made sure she was right in the middle of everything. These everyday moments are what make in-home newborn sessions so meaningful.

Why Choose an In-Home Newborn Session?

In-home newborn photography offers a relaxed, stress-free experience for growing families. There’s no rushing out the door or worrying about packing everything you might need — everything is already right there. Your home tells part of your story, and incorporating it into your session creates images that feel deeply personal and unique to your family.

•In-home sessions are perfect for capturing:
•Natural newborn snuggles
•Sibling interactions and first introductions
•Feeding, soothing, and quiet moments
•Family pets included naturally
•The environment where your memories are being made

These sessions are ideal for families in Muscatine, Iowa City, and the Quad Cities who want their newborn photos to feel genuine and full of emotion.

Limited Availability for In-Home Newborn Sessions

Because I maintain a full studio schedule and my travel availability is limited, I offer only one in-home newborn session per month. This allows me to give each family the time, care, and attention they deserve while balancing my studio commitments.

For this reason, in-home newborn sessions are extremely limited and are booked on a first-come basis. Reserving your due date in advance is the best way to secure one of these sessions.

Preserving the Firsts You’ll Never Want to Forget

The newborn stage is fleeting. The tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, and quiet moments of connection change before you even realize it. In-home newborn photography allows you to slow down and document these firsts in a way that feels natural and unposed.

These images become more than photographs , they become heirlooms that tell the story of where your family began this new chapter, surrounded by love, laughter, and heart.

Booking an In-Home Newborn Session

Newborn sessions are best photographed within the first 12–15 days after birth, when babies are still sleepy and curly. Due to the limited number of in-home sessions offered each month, early booking is highly recommended.

If you’re expecting and located in Muscatine, Iowa City, or the Quad Cities, I would love to help you document this season in the most authentic way possible.
