Because your baby deserves the safest hands and the most beautiful portraits.

Newborn sessions are held within the first two weeks after birth, when your baby is still tiny, sleepy, and perfect for those first timeless portraits. Sessions take place on weekday mornings in my professional newborn studio in Clarksville, Tennessee, where everything is thoughtfully prepared for you. From wraps and hats to carefully chosen props and accessories, every detail is provided—so you can simply arrive, relax, and enjoy the experience.

Because my calendar fills quickly, newborn sessions should be reserved three to four months in advance. Your due date is intentionally held on my schedule, guaranteeing a session once your baby arrives. If your little one comes earlier or later than expected, we’ll adjust your session date accordingly.

Our experience with Daphne was one to remember for our newborn session. Her space was carefully crafted to make my family feel welcome and attend to any needs during the session (I.e. space to nurse, change baby; toys for toddler, comfy couch to relax; snacks, etc.). She had a wide selection of outfits and is highly skilled at her craft. The photos were beautiful beyond my imagination. We also had the opportunity to order beautiful wall art and keepsakes! Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to schedule newborn photos?

The ideal time for newborn portraits is within 5–10 days after birth, when babies are typically sleepier and easier to pose. We recommend reserving your session during pregnancy to ensure availability in Clarksville, TN and the Fort Campbell area.

What if my baby is older?

If you’ve waited, please know this—you haven’t missed your moment. Newborn sessions can be done at any age, and every stage of those early days is worth remembering. If your baby is a little older or more alert, we gently tailor the session to focus on connection, tiny details, and the love you already feel so deeply. Whether it’s sleepy snuggles or wide-eyed expressions, your baby’s story is still just beginning, and it deserves to be beautifully preserved.

Your baby’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Sessions are baby-led, gently guided, and never forced. Daphne’s Portrait Design is Clarksville’s only Certified Professional Photographer with advanced newborn safety training.
