New iPhone: Notes photos not loading

lmsealy,

You mentioned that the images appear on the iCloud website. That's a good sign. The steps that we are going to suggests next will allow a fresh sync from the iCloud server.

While you have a stable Wi-Fi network available, we'd like to have you try turning iCloud Notes off on your iPhone in Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud. You may need to select the "Show All" option to see the Notes option.

You'll be asked if you want to delete iCloud notes from your iPhone. You already confirmed that the Notes appear as expected on the iCloud website, so it is OK to delete from your iPhone.

After Notes are turned off, please restart your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

When your iPhone restarts, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi, then enable iCloud Notes again. While the syncing process takes place, keep your iPhone connected to power.

Let us know if these steps resolve the issue!
