Submit your photos for our 2011 Calendar!

2010 Calendar

Our 2010 Born at Home Calendars were so popular last year that we are bringing this project back in time for the holidays! If you would like to be included in our 2011 Calendar, send us photos of your kids born at home in Iowa!

The deadline for photo submissions is November 14. We prefer high resolution photos. Send your submissions to: foimcalendar@yahoo.com.

You can send as many photos as you like - we will narrow it down. Along with your photo, please include a paragraph that responds to the question "Why we had our child(ren) at home" and include the location where the birth took place. A committee will select the finalists and we'll get back in touch with you for permissions.

We would like to see families represented from across the state, so please share this notice far and wide!


Q: Do the pictures have to be from the birth?
A: No. Any beloved photo of your homeborn child is appropriate. Last year, we included family portraits, pregnancy pictures, professional and amateur snapshots, and pics of the kids all grown up. Find your favorites and send them in!

Q: Does the baby have to have born this year?
A: No. It's important to demonstrate to people that homebirth is NOT new in Iowa, and that families of all kinds have been using the services of Iowa midwives for decades. Anyone born at home is welcome, so get your pics of grandma and send 'em in!
