When you have a baby, those first few moments are downright magical. You have dreamed of this tiny human for months on end. Now, they’re here in your arms, taking in the world all around them. And as you watch them try to make sense of their new surroundings, it suddenly hits you. You don’t have a clue what you’re doing! Everything from breastfeeding to navigating naptimes feels like you’re doing life on hard mode. Luckily, you have the Iowa Baby Lady in your corner! As an Iowa newborn photographer, I spend a lot of time working with families so they can have lasting memories of each stage. Here’s why I always recommend this company.
Des Moines, Iowa
Maybe it’s a little presumptuous to call yourself The Iowa Baby Lady, but when you’re Katie Nyberg, it just makes sense! Katie started out her work back in 2010 when her “sister-in-love” Nicole found out she was pregnant with twins. She needed support, so she asked Katie to become her coach. Katie fell so wildly in love with her new role that she decided to make it her new career. Beyond providing labor support, she served as a village for new moms who needed support through the tricky newborn stage.
When Nicole passed away from cancer in 2015, Katie chose to honor her legacy by providing a memorial scholarship fund so she could help other people find their calling as a doula. Today, Katie has built up a team of experts ready to be there through the early stages of parenthood. No matter what you need, you can bet the Iowa Baby Lad(ies) will be there for you!
As Katie says on her website, she has “a passion for serving parents as they grow their baby, birth their baby, and parent their baby.” Many of the people who hire Iowa Baby Lady and her crew choose to do so throughout their pregnancies. Your doula is going to be there to help you prepare for your delivery by serving as a birth doula. She will work with you to create your birth plan, no matter what that looks like! Once your baby is born, the team can continue to provide you with support as your postpartum doula.
I think my favorite thing about Iowa Baby Lady is their continued help during that first year. Yes, they are going to provide you with hands-on doula support, but they also provide you with exceptional resources, including lactation care and New Moms Social Hours. Trust me, you are going to enter into parenthood feeling like a total pro!
It’s natural to feel a little overwhelmed by having a baby. Luckily, the Iowa Baby Lady and her team will be there to help you through it! And if you could use some additional support through this stage, just let me know. As a newborn photographer, I know that this time tends to fly by. Let me help you remember it! I adore planning newborn portrait sessions so you can treasure each stage for years to come. Want to find out more? Then send me a message today so we can connect!
