Welcoming a new life into the world is one of the most precious and fleeting moments. Capturing those early days in your own home in Quad City, Iowa, makes it even more special. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful newborn session in a cozy, love-filled space—the family’s own home. Everything about this session felt like it was straight out of a dream.
The nursery was absolutely breathtaking, designed with an enchanting mountain scene on the walls, playful. She had adorable animals nestled in the details, and a delicate pink bows adding a sweet touch of femininity. It truly looked like it belonged in the pages of a magazine! The thought and care that went into creating this space for their little girl were so obvious. It made the perfect backdrop for her photo shoot in the quad city area.
As for the star of the session—their sweet baby girl—she was an absolute dream. She slept so peacefully through much of the session, allowing us to capture those precious sleepy poses that everyone loves. It was heartwarming to see how much she loved being held. The warmth and comfort of her parents’ arms brought the most serene expressions to her tiny face.
This little one had an adorable trait. She had an undeniable preference for turning her head a particular way while lying in her crib. Her mom shared that this has been her favorite position since birth. It’s because she was most comfortable in the womb just that way. Watching her settle into her crib, so at ease, was a glimpse into her little habits. She’ll carry them with her as she grows.
Sessions like these remind me why I love in-home newborn photography so much. There’s a unique intimacy and authenticity in capturing a family in their own space. It is a place where they feel most relaxed and at home. It’s where the everyday moments of bonding and love happen, and preserving those memories for families is such a joy.
