Meet April Nowlin of Little Buns Ultrasound and Baby Boutique

Today we’d like to introduce you to April Nowlin.

Hi April, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Little Buns Ultrasound & Baby Boutique was born from a deep passion for family, connection, and the joy of pregnancy. When we started, it wasn’t just about providing a service—it was about creating an experience that expecting parents could cherish forever. The idea for Little Buns started with a vision: to offer a warm, welcoming, and intimate space where families could bond with their baby before birth. We recognized that the journey of pregnancy is more than just medical appointments and milestones; it’s about building memories that last a lifetime.
Understanding this, we set out to create a boutique ultrasound studio that felt different—one that was centered on love, excitement, and the beauty of seeing your little one for the first time. From the beginning, we aimed to provide state-of-the-art 2D-5D live ultrasound imaging while also offering a curated selection of baby boutique items that add to the magic of the experience.
Starting any business comes with challenges, and Little Buns was no exception. From finding the perfect location to building relationships with expecting families, every step required dedication and persistence.
Through word of mouth, community support, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Little Buns grew. We built strong relationships with local doulas, midwives, and maternity support professionals. Social media and community events also played a huge role in spreading awareness about what we offer.
Today, Little Buns Ultrasound & Baby Boutique is a thriving space where expecting parents come to celebrate, connect, and prepare for their new arrival. We’ve expanded our offerings, from adorable baby apparel and keepsakes to gender reveal items and heartbeat animals, making each visit special.
But more than just a business, Little Buns has become a place of joy, comfort, and community. We are honored to be part of so many families’ pregnancy journeys, capturing moments that will be treasured for a lifetime.
We couldn’t have done it without the support of our clients, our team, and the belief that every baby’s first glimpse should be nothing short of magical.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Starting and growing a business comes with its own set of challenges, and we certainly faced our fair share. Two of our biggest hurdles were finding the right location and earning the trust of parents-to-be and the maternity support community. When we first opened Little Buns, our location wasn’t ideal—it was too far from our target audience, making it inconvenient for our clients. Just eight months in, we had the opportunity to relocate to a vibrant area filled with growing families. This move was a game changer, allowing us to better serve our community and connect with more expecting parents.
As parents ourselves, we were familiar with ultrasounds, and as entrepreneurs, we had a strong foundation in business. However, the ultrasound industry was entirely new to us. We embraced the learning curve, immersing ourselves in the field and building relationships with maternity support professionals—one connection at a time.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Little Buns Ultrasound and Baby Boutique?
