Kate’s Vintage & Organic Cake Smash | Cypress TX Child Portraits

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers an organic and vintage inspired baby plan membership to newborn clients. Kate's simple cake smash is a fun way to celebrate turning one.

Here's what Kate's Mama Had to say about her portraiture experience with Sarah:

“Sarah truly loves her work and it shines through the photos she takes and extends through to her customer service. I found her on Facebook four months before my daughter was born and she allowed me to come out and meet her in person and discuss the colors and props for my baby’s newborn photo shoot. The day of the shoot she worked her magic and hit the mark for what I had envisioned. It has been a year since the newborn shoot and we just completed the one year photos, they are gorgeous!”

Howdy, friends! Happy Friday, or Fri-yay, as we like to call it in my house, ha! I hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoying the cooler weather we're having. Well, at least for Houston. Today's blog post is going to share a little bit of information about my popular baby plan membership. I'll also showcase some exciting details about the styling behind cake smash and children's one year birthday sessions.

To begin, cake smash or baby milestone sessions are available to newborn clients only. Because I specialize in Houston Newborn Photography, these sessions are really fun for returning clients and a membership to my portraiture services is a wonderful way to document the first year of life since it's a consistent style, editing, wall art, and also someone who has developed a relationship with your kiddo. The membership is very flexible. Parents have the option of doing 3, 6, 9 or 12 months; they may also do any combination of the milestone. The most popular, nonetheless, is 6 and 12 months since this is when most of the changes occur.

Since my newborn style is timeless, fresh, simple and vintage inspired so are my  child milestone sessions. Gone are distracting props; instead, I focus on a few classic pieces so baby is the star. My studio is all white and looks classic. I have a bed, couch, and some cute items like a antique high chair and rocking horse for little ones to use. I also have a plethora of adorable headbands and accessories for your kiddos. Wardrobe is not included but I have a great list of vendors for you to consider. :-) 

Here are some of my favorite images from my time with baby girl Kate. I hope you enjoy viewing and perhaps are interested in your own baby plan. :-) Have a great weekend, y'all!

Ethereal Sunrise Family Session at Hermann Park | Happy Birthday Sweet Boy

Gorgeous outdoor family and first birthday portraits | Houston TX Photographer

Greetings, friends! Happy Friday to you! This is one of my favorite days of the week because I am always gearing up for an exciting weekend; whether it be hanging out with my three little girls, photographing gorgeous babies in studio, or out exploring Houston with family or friends, the weekend always holds much promise. I hope the same is for you! If you've found yourself on my blog, you may be on the hunt for family, child or baby portraiture. You're in luck! My name is Sarah and I adore all three of these genres. I should note, however, at this time, my 2017 calendar is super full for family/children, but I am always taking newborns.

Speaking of squishy cherub babies: this sweet family has been with me since the very beginning of baby's life. I've had the honor of working with them several times and cannot express how lovely they are. Super genuine, laid back, and awesome people. I'm truly blessed to call them clients! 

The first time I met them, they welcomed me into their charming home for an in home lifestyle newborn session. I saw them again for fall family portraiture, 6 month images, and now baby boy is turning the big one! We met at Hermann Park, inside the 610 loop, for a sunrise family session.

As you can see, Mom is radiant and Dad looks super dapper. They're an adorable couple; of course, their precious family looks fantastic with Baby J on their hip. There's something so endearing about a family as they run and play and hold their kiddo in the morning light. This light, you see, looks best at around 6:30 AM, and while it IS early, it makes for fantastic portraiture. 

The following images are some of my favorites from their collection. Thanks for stopping by and viewing! I hope you enjoy seeing them, too, and have a great weekend! Wishing you all my joy and warmth.

Teal & Turquoise Inspired Baby Girl Newborn Session | Unique Color Scheme

Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, located in Houston, is a newborn photographer offering stunning and custom baby portraiture sessions.

Here's what this couple had to relay about their newborn photography experience:

"Sarah recently did our newborn photo session and she did an amazing job. She was so soothing and wonderful with our baby girl and the pictures are amazing. She was also extremely helpful in helping us prepare for the session, and was so kind, compassionate, and helpful with us as first time parents. Being in her studio was so comfortable and felt like being home with an old friend. It was also very comforting to know that she has done significant training in child safety, and focuses on that while creating your session."

Greetings and howdy to you! If you're here, perhaps you're seeking more information about a posed newborn session with me, Sarah! I'm super excited you're here because as a Houston Newborn Photographer, one aspect of my job that I truly look forward to is blogging my sessions. You see, this gives me a chance to show you my favorite images from each session, explain my creative process, and also write about the memorable moments with my clients. 

For instance, today's posed newborn session features some of my favorite colors, especially for a brand new, squishy newborn baby girl. Teal, turquoise, blue or green are an adorable color scheme because they create unique baby portraits. While pink is a typical newborn color, I urge parents to let me style a session that is not the norm; this is to ensure your combinations are customized to reflect timeless, classic, and beautiful portraiture.

When this sweet couple first came to my office for their in person consultation, they told me how they met, what they do for a living, and even about the first time they saw baby girl in the ultrasound and the joy of hearing her heartbeat for the first time. As a mama myself, I identify with these feelings, so when posing you during the parent portion of our time together, I like to think about the emotions surrounding meeting your baby. The slight anticipation, feeling the weight of their body in your hands, holding them close, breathing in their scent, admiring their perfect features. These moments are the ones you'll want to remember, so my parent posing is often very laid back and focuses on you interacting with your little one.

This beautiful baby girl is over 9 pounds and squishy as can be. She came to my studio, located in Northwest Houston, when she was 13 days new and she slept wonderfully for me. She loved to be wrapped and adored the white noises playing in the background. Being held by her parents was probably her favorite part, but that's just because she knows who she belongs to, ha! 

Here are some of my favorite photos from our time together. :-) I hope you enjoy viewing! If you are currently pregnant or perhaps know of a friend who is, feel free to share this post with them or even get in touch at the contract form below.
