Newborn session · Nashville

In short

Newborn session in Nashville starts at $425: 2 hours on location with a photographer who works in Nashville, and 35 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 7 business days.

Why choose Newborn session in Nashville?

A Nashville newborn session is an in-home portrait visit of two hours, booked for the first two weeks after the birth and priced from $425 for 35 retouched photographs. Nothing about it requires leaving the house: the photographer brings the light-shaping and the wraps, and the family stays in the rooms where the baby already sleeps. That matters in Nashville, where a new family may live anywhere from a Gulch condo to an East Nashville cottage or a house out in Franklin, and a car seat across Middle Tennessee traffic is the last errand anyone needs. Gallery delivery follows within 7 business days.

Worth knowing about Nashville

On Nashville streets in the Residential Parking Permit Program, the Nashville Department of Transportation issues visitor permits only to households that already hold a resident permit, at $5 a year. Inside the Downtown Nashville Residential Parking Permit Zone, a visitor permit is valid for at most 14 days and cannot be transferred. A family on a permit street therefore has its visitor permit ready for the photographer’s car on the day of the newborn session, or names a garage or driveway instead.

What does the session in Nashville look like?

The nursery or a quiet bedroom
Swaddled and sleeping frames by one soft window, kept warm and dim enough that the baby stays settled.
The living room sofa or a porch swing indoors
Parents and older siblings holding the baby, the frames most families end up framing.
A downtown condo window
For Nashville families living in the core, a floor-to-ceiling window gives broad light and a skyline the baby will grow up under.

FAQ — Newborn session in Nashville

Do we need a visitor parking permit for a newborn photographer coming to our Nashville home?

Only if the street is in the Nashville Residential Parking Permit Program. The Nashville Department of Transportation sells $5 annual visitor permits to existing resident permit holders, and downtown visitor permits last up to 14 days and are not transferable, so the household arranges one before the newborn session.

Which parts of Nashville does an in-home newborn session cover?

Homes in Nashville and the surrounding towns, including the Gulch, 12South, East Nashville, Germantown, Belle Meade, Brentwood, Franklin and Hendersonville. The two-hour newborn session happens entirely in the family’s home in the first two weeks after birth, with feeding and settling inside the time, and 35 retouched photographs follow within 7 business days.
