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!

D Family | Timeless Baby Portraiture Houston

Houston Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers Fresh, Pure and Authentic Newborn Photography. Fully inclusive digital collections + heirloom prints & products.

Greetings and good morning, friends! Thanks for visiting my blog. You see, the little 'ol blog is where many gorgeous babies grace my page as I showcase the highlights from their posed newborn sessions. However, I also preview a few baby bumps or family sessions here and there, too, to make sure things stay interesting, haha! However, today you're in luck: one of my super awesome baby plan membership clients are on the blog.

At this point, you may be scratching your head and thinking, "What's a baby plan membership?" A baby plan membership is simple: it's a package catering to clients seeking maternity, newborn and first year of life portraits of these incredibly special milestones in their lives. This includes celebrating your radiant baby bump, bringing home a new baby and also documenting the super awesome milestones such as baby sitting up and then of course their one year portraits.  In fact, you may remember this adorable couple from their outdoor maternity session, which took place in February. 

Today, I am honored to share my favorite images from K's studio newborn session. Her sweet parents brought her to my all white, organic space when she was 9 days new. She weighed just under 6 pounds and was so petite, dainty and curly! For my time with her, mama requested a feminine color scheme such as soft pinks, creams and a plethora of rose hues. While I do pull inspiration from your colors, I sometimes add my own twist, so later on we also used a hunter green. Green, you see, is my absolute favorite color to use with little girls, so keep on scrolling to see how gorgeous the sage also looked against her skin. :-) 

At this point, you also may be wondering, "So, what comes in a newborn session?" As you can see, we do a large variety with each baby. Aside from family/parent images, which take place first, I utilize many styles of wrapping to show off the curly, brand new nature of a little baby. Followed by this, I typically do 2 floors props, such as a rustic crate or an antique bucket. Then, after these set ups, we'll move into the naked posing with all the sweet, squishy poses. I do each and every session with the same flow so we may ensure your session reflects what you see in my portfolio. Consistency is of the utmost importance! Please note, however, I do offer a mini wrapped collection, petite or full posed, so the mini wrapped session does include wrapped shots and none of the naked images, but this is designed for parents who are seeking more modest newborn portraits, ha!

One aspect of newborn photography I truly enjoy is providing everything for your session. This ensures your images are timeless, classic and unique, so I will style baby to reflect custom set ups. This includes gorgeous headbands or tiebacks, organic textiles, professional lighting and of course post processing of your high resolution retouched digital files. 

Thanks for stopping by! I am always happy to have you here! If you're currently pregnant, please know I am booking August - November due dates. It's never too early to book your session since newborn portraits take place when your baby is 14 days new or less; my preference, nonetheless, is 4-10 days old. Newborns do have top priority on my calendar, so feel free to connect if you have any questions. I would love to work with you!

Dapper Little Dude's First Professional Photos | Newborn Photography

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, specializes in custom posed newborn & family portraiture. She serves Houston as well as the surrounding suburbs. 

"And she loved a little boy very very much - even more than she loved herself."

A brand new baby. As a Houston Newborn Photographer, this makes my heart soar. Photographing the most tiny of clients is truly a joy. The details, styling, and spending the morning  cuddling a sweet little baby is one of my favorite aspects of baby photography. The customized sessions cater to parents seeking a variety of colors, poses, and props. For example, for this cherub's session, we used navy blue, tan, grey and cream. I provide everything you need, except the baby. This includes vintage floor props such as buckets, bowls, or crates. I also provide the wooden floors you see and backdrops to ensure the final product is coheisve with the work you see in my portfolio. I also have a vast array of bonnets, headbands, and organic wraps to adorn you baby's face. While props are minimal, such as the set ups seen here, they are also classic. 40 years from now you want the images to still have timeless yet soulful feeling.

For my time with baby boy, he loved to be wrapped! The wrapping is pretty nifty because it reminds you baby of being in the womb; it helps them "curl" up and feel safe during our session. For 9 months, your baby grew in your belly, so this reminds them of all that they know. A warm room and full tummy makes baby happy, too! This little guy did make me work, though I am very happy with his portraits as they're vintage, rustic, and the light fills his face to highlight his chubby cheeks, button nose, and little lashes.

For the family portion of his newborn session, his parents chose to not participate, so our focus was sibling with baby. While I do include family images in all of my collections I offer, I also understand sometimes parents may not feel photo ready. No worries! That just means more newborn portraits for you. Regardless, I do encourage sibling shots at the very least. Big Brother simply stole my heart! During the session, he sat with me while I posed little brother; he told me all about his teachers at pre-school and we sang some fun songs together, like "The Wheels on the Bus," haha! Big sister told me all about her soccer games and how her team won a game that past weekend. Meeting these sweet children was truly an honor and my heart melted while working with them. The innocence of them is simply pure. 

I'd like to thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you enjoyed viewing one of the latest posed newborn sessions that grace my blog. Please visit again!
