Where to shoot

9 places to shoot newborn photos & videos in Naples

01

Naples Botanical Garden

4820 Bayshore Dr, Naples, FL 34112 · Bayshore Arts District · Outdoor

Pavilions tucked along the paths offer a quiet, shaded corner to stop and settle a baby without walking far back to the car. Winter mornings here run mild rather than cold, so there is no need to bundle a newborn against any real chill while you work.

For newborn photos: a gentle, low-key setting for a first session.

Best dayWeekday mornings, ahead of tour groups
Best timeMorning before heat and crowds
AccessOn-site parking; paved accessible paths
PermitPaid admission or entry; arrange professional sessions with the venue in advance.
02

Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

11135 Gulf Shore Dr, Naples, FL 34108 · North Naples · Outdoor

The paved lot sits close enough to the boardwalk that you are never carrying a newborn far, and the dunes muffle any wind before it reaches the sand. Winter's dry season keeps the air mild, so a short session in the open does not mean fighting either heat or a chill.

For newborn photos: a calm backdrop that keeps baby comfortable.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends fill the sand
Best timeSunset over the Gulf horizon
AccessPaved lots; boardwalks over dunes to the sand
PermitPaid admission or entry; arrange professional sessions with the venue in advance.
03

Clam Pass Park

465 Seagate Dr, Naples, FL 34103 · Park Shore · Outdoor

Ride the tram out instead of the long boardwalk walk, since a fussy newborn is easier to settle without a hike first. The mangrove tunnels along the way stay shaded and hushed, a natural spot to pause if a feed or a nap breaks up the session.

For newborn photos: an intimate spot for those first-week frames.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends fill the sand
Best timeGolden hour on the beach; dappled light on the boardwalk
AccessPaid lot; long boardwalk or tram to the beach
PermitA permit may be required for professional shoots — check current rules with the venue or city.
04

Cambier Park

755 8th Ave S, Naples, FL 34102 · Old Naples · Outdoor

Free parking sits right against the lawn, so getting a newborn from the car seat into shade takes no more than a minute. The oak canopy keeps the whole park several degrees cooler than the open sun, which matters more here than any particular backdrop does.

For newborn photos: somewhere warm and sheltered enough for a tiny subject.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends fill the sand
Best timeMorning light through the tree canopy
AccessFree parking; flat paved paths
PermitUsually fine for small personal shoots; larger or commercial setups may need a permit.
05

Baker Park

100 Riverside Cir, Naples, FL 34104 · Gordon River · Outdoor

The greenway trail runs flat from the free lot, an easy push if you are bringing a stroller along for the ride. Rolling lawns beside the pedestrian bridge stay quiet on weekdays, room enough to spread out a blanket and slow down for a feed.

For newborn photos: quiet surroundings that will not startle a sleeping newborn.

Best dayWeekdays; weekend foot traffic peaks
Best timeLate afternoon over the river and gardens
AccessFree parking; flat paved greenway trails
PermitUsually fine for small personal shoots; larger or commercial setups may need a permit.
06

Palm Cottage & Historic District

137 12th Ave S, Naples, FL 34102 · Old Naples · Outdoor

Norris Gardens are compact and shaded by mature trees, so you never have to walk far from the street parking to find a cool, quiet corner. Being tucked into a residential block keeps foot traffic light, useful when photos call for long, unhurried pauses this early on.

For newborn photos: short access from the car with a pram.

Best dayWeekday mornings, before foot traffic
Best timeMorning for soft light on the cottage facade
AccessStreet parking; flat paths and small gardens
PermitA permit may be required for professional shoots — check current rules with the venue or city.

07

Sugden Regional Park

4284 Avalon Dr, Naples, FL 34112 · East Naples · Outdoor

Free parking opens right onto flat lawns, so a car seat or bassinet never has to travel far before you reach the lake's edge. Calm water keeps the whole park quiet, and the wide grass gives you room to lay out a blanket whenever a break is needed.

For newborn photos: a soft, neutral backdrop that keeps the focus on the face.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends draw the crowds
Best timeGolden hour with reflections on the lake
AccessFree parking; flat lawns and lakeside paths
PermitUsually fine for small personal shoots; larger or commercial setups may need a permit.
08

Fred W. Coyle Freedom Park

Quiet boardwalks
1515 Golden Gate Pkwy, Naples, FL 34105 · Central Naples, Gordon River · Outdoor

Covered decks throw soft, reflected light back up off the water, gentle enough for wide newborn eyes that are still adjusting to daylight. Boardwalks stay quiet most mornings, and the level decking gives you a place to sit and settle a feed without breaking the shoot.

For newborn photos: room for a parent to stay close in every frame.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends draw the crowds
Best timeEarly morning, when the ponds are still and the boardwalks are shaded
AccessFree on-site parking off Golden Gate Parkway; the park is open from 8am to sunset and restrooms are at the Education Center
PermitA permit may be required for professional shoots. Check current rules with the venue or city.
09

Gordon River Greenway Park

Mangrove shade
1580 Goodlette-Frank Rd, Naples, FL 34102 · Central Naples · Outdoor

The north lot's free parking sits right beside restrooms and a playground, handy if a diaper change comes up in the middle of things. Filtered light under the mangrove canopy stays soft and even, which is kinder on a newborn's eyes than open sun ever is.

For newborn photos: a setting that suits an unhurried, feed-and-settle pace.

Best dayWeekdays; weekends fill the sand
Best timeMid-morning under the mangrove canopy, or late afternoon along the open river stretches
AccessTwo free parking areas, including a north lot at 1596 Golden Gate Parkway with restrooms and a playground; open 6:30am to 10pm
