Maternity + Newborn Photography in iowa city, Muscatine + surrounding areas
Becoming a parent is one of the most special experiences in life. Carrying your baby for nine months and finally getting to hold their tiny hands is one of the purest forms of joy. As your Iowa maternity photographer, I’ll capture your growing belly and first days together in a way that brings you back to those memorable moments each time you look at your photos.
Embrace the beauty of new life
This foundation is near and dear to my newborn-loving heart. Theo Wolf was a bright-eyed and beautiful little soul who left this world due to unsafe sleeping practices at daycare. His non-profit organization is on a mission to educate the public about safe sleep to ensure that no parent has to live this reality again. Each newborn session comes with a goodie bag to encourage safe sleep and help new parents learn best practices when caring for their little one.

Sarah is absolutely amazing. She took stunning newborn photos for us and we have continued to go back every 3 months for milestone pictures. We will continue to use Sarah Siler for all photography needs in the future. She's not only an amazing photographer but we have become great friends as well.

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else to capture my baby’s first year.”
From the time we walked into her studio until we were walking out, Sarah was so respectful, kind, sincere, and the way she handled our little Delaney at 8 days old, was as if she were her own. I would highly recommend Sarah Siler Photography for all your photo needs. We are looking forward to working with Sarah in Delaney's future, capturing those special moments.

“I simply cannot say enough good things about Sarah.”
Sarah is simply wonderful. She has gone above and beyond for my family on multiple occasions. She took newborn photos of both my babies. She takes timeless images that I know will be forever in my family. I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! She is amazing!
