In-home newborn photography in Clarksville // newborn photos by Jacquelyn Smith of j. photography

I absolutely loved being invited back to this sweet family’s home to photograph their newest arrival. For their firstborn, we split the newborn session between my studio and their home, so of course, we had to do the same thing for their new baby boy.

This session took place in early fall, and we lucked out with the most beautiful weather. (Also, while I didn’t include them here, we definitely snuck in a few adorable shots of baby in a Santa hat for their Christmas card!)

One of the best parts about doing your newborn session at home—especially when there’s a toddler sibling in the mix—is that we can roll with the rhythm of your day. If a nap is needed mid-session, no problem… which is exactly what happened here. You might notice big brother missing from the last set of images!

I may need to do a separate blog post with highlights from the studio portion of this newborn session because I had way too many favorites just from the in-home portion alone.

Wardrobe notes: Mom, Dad, and big brother’s outfits were their own and newborn baby boy was wrapped in swaddle and cozy blankets from my studio. Everyone who books a full session with me gets free access to my online styling assistant software, which simplifies outfit selection by automatically coordinating wardrobe pieces that are both stylish and photography-friendly. Many of my clients find it helpful for shopping within their own closets. Ready for a session where your family is coordinated beautifully but with zero stress? Send me a message for your in-home newborn photography session!

Hi, I’m Jac – a newborn and family photographer based in Clarksville, Tennessee, and the heart behind j. photography. I specialize in relaxed, lifestyle family photography that captures real connection, genuine emotion, and the beauty of your everyday moments – whether we’re in your home capturing in-home newborn photography in Clarksville, your backyard, my studio, or your favorite local spot.

As a mom and photographer with over a decade of experience, I know how fast the seasons with your kids can fly by. That’s why my sessions are designed to feel playful rather than a photo shoot – no forced smiles, no awkward posing, just natural moments that reflect the heart of your family.

Whether your babies are brand new or heading off to high school, your story deserves to be told in a way that’s honest, timeless, and true to you. From snuggles on the couch to giggles in the yard, I’m here to help you press pause and preserve this season – because these are the days you’ll want to remember.

If you’re looking for a Clarksville newborn and family photographer who values authenticity over perfection and storytelling over stiff poses, get to know more about me or reach out here. I would just love to create images you’ll love hanging on your walls – and holding onto forever.
