A Quick Note Before We Start!

Howdy! Specializing in the custom art of posed newborn photography, our sessions are dreamy, timeless, and inspired by vintage love. Your final product is a classic collection showcasing this incredibly precious time. Appointments take place in our centrally located Houston Newborn Photography Studio. Flexible scheduling is available through online booking. The preferred age is 5-9 days old; however, dates are available up to 25 days, for specific packages, and even 6 weeks, particularly for newborns who spent time in the NICU.

Dreamy pieces, timeless props, and organic textiles are the heart of my timeless styling. All accessories are provided from wraps, headbands, caps, bonnets, buckets, bowls, crates, baskets, etc. A custom newborn session is a perfect way to preserve Baby’s earthside entrance authentically. Parent, family, and sibling images are also available. Through floor-to-ceiling organic lighting, a stunning studio wardrobe, and professional hair and makeup, our studio makes things streamlined and easy for you, so you’re sure to have a lovely experience. 

Tiny eyelashes, big yawns and stretches, squishy rolls, serene sleeping faces, and their curly, brand-new nature are all beautiful about babies. Baby's first images of all childhood photos will evoke a sense of tender, unconditional love. You spent months dreaming of their face and imagining holding little ones in your arms, the weight of them against your chest, their scent enveloping your senses.

My heart belongs to infant photography, and I cannot express the joy I feel working with my petite, precious clients! I look forward to creating a unique set of images for you. Congratulations on your sweet cherub! All our joy and warmth to you.

Warmly,

Sarah and Kevin

Houston heirloom family, pregnancy, baby, and newborn photography is Inspired by ETHEREAL light, texture, & dreamy textiles.

• Tiny details of Baby's unique features, called macro images, set your gallery apart. Included in all sessions, these encompass Baby characteristics such as their lips, profile, toes, hands, and more. Moreover, cozy, unique wrapping and adorable bean bag posing are cornerstones of my newborn portraiture. Top safety techniques are always implemented. Vintage-inspired styling and texture are foundations for creating breathtaking works of Baby art.

Family/Sibling/Parent Images | What to Wear (Family or Maternity)

• Family, sibling, and parent images occur in my lifestyle room. Here we capture the sweet, natural dynamics surrounding your love for your family. Newborn sessions are separated from family sessions.

• The client closet provides numerous options for newborns, infants, and toddlers, boy tops (up to 7t), shirts and tops for dads, darling knits and outfits for toddler boys and girls, and motherhood gowns. On-location airbrush makeup and hair artistry are available as an add-on, too. We also offer complimentary studio tours and gown fittings and invite you to visit with us so we may assist in styling you.

• Please bring a nude and strapless bra if you are interested in a studio wardrobe. A camisole is also helpful if you'd like more coverage.

• For studio maternity appointments, feel free to bring a pretty bra or panty set for mothers interested in intimate, boudoir-style maternity photos. You may also do an oversized sweater, boy shorts, and more. There's no obligation; many moms like to do something more modern/contemporary.

• Please stick to neutrals, earth tones, and muted colors for siblings and Dad. Avoid neon colors. Orange, yellow, bright greens or pinks are not favorable. The colors that photograph well are light grey, tans, creams, white, and ivory. Seafoam, navy, mauve, and colors are lovely, too! Earthtones are beautiful because they photograph well on skin tone; they refer to natural colors such as brown soil, green leaf, cloudy sky, and red sun. We love to see earth tones: rust, marigold, deep navy, burnt sienna brown, terracotta, sage, turmeric, hunter green, and more.

• Ideas for Dad: simple button-up, henley shirt, sweater, v-neck, anything without a distracting pattern or neon colors. Slacks, dark wash jeans, and simple ones are best.

• Children look lovely in knits, simple cotton dresses, sweaters, jeans, or khaki pants with a solid or neutral-colored top.

Newborn Safety is of the utmost importance | Fully VACCINATED & insured

• Aside from parenting four young children, we’ve taken multiple newborn safety workshops promoting professional mentoring. These courses train photographers on how to safely and beautifully pose brand-new cherubs. Our studio also implements professional editing, lighting, soothing, flow, and creative strategies and methods to provide a calm experience. Photographing new infants is not a pastime; it’s our absolute joy, and we’re invested in providing the best experience in Houston.

• Feel free to browse our 2021 Covid-19 Update for our standards and expectations. Such measures are upheld throughout the year, no matter the season, though our studio is currently complying with CDC cleaning guidelines. We foster a safe, healthy, and responsible work environment when photographing young infants, expecting mothers, and grandparents.

The studio is located at 610 & San Felipe, inside the loop of the Uptown Business District. Our luxury studio helps us maintain our highest-rated Houston newborn photographer title.
