Newborn/Family/Maternity Outfit Inspiration & Ideas

Now that you've booked your maternity, newborn, or family photoshoot, you may be asking, "What should I wear?" Clothing ideas can seem daunting as new parents have many things to plan for, such as their baby shower, nursery, perhaps car-shopping, touring hospitals, interviewing nannies, and more! Have no fear: our client closet is here.

We have 7 rules when shopping for our studio wardrobe. Here’s how we decide what parents should wear for a professional photoshoot at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

  1. Textures and soft fabrics

  2. Timeless and classic

  3. Belts and wrap dresses offering flexible sizing

  4. Fitted options for mothers seeking more intimate or sexy cuts

  5. Solid colors without distracting labels

  6. Soft, dainty, feminine prints

  7. Variety to fit many different silhouettes, body types, skin tones, and session types.

Ethereal, light, flowy, airy, and timeless pieces accent your session beautifully

When shopping for our client closet, we offer the following options:

  • Motherhood

  • Big Sister (2t - 8t)

  • Baby Milestone (3 months - 18 months)

  • A small Father section

Our client wardrobe is included for all sessions, no matter the type. We are excited to help style your images, so they reflect our timeless, light, bright, and airy studio branding. While you’re always welcome to use clothing from home, we love to assist, so you have a curated closet from which to select.

Expect to see various tones, textures, and fabrics, all of which are curated to photograph beautifully. We offer diverse options such as, but not limited to, neutrals, grey, ivory, creams, whites, and muted colors and nudes, although there are colorful options. Jewel tones and classic black make an appearance, too.

What size of gowns are offered?

Gowns are available in sizes extra small - extra large. However, keep in mind that if you adore a dress, we can usually pin or clamp the gown to fit many different silhouettes. For instance, when shopping for clients, we select curated vendors, both local and national, who offer high-quality items that photograph very well. Because the dresses are designed for photoshoots and not daily wear, the sizing is very flexible.

Stylish, comfortable, and perfectly classic

All dresses we purchase for client use are simple, elegant, and complement many different silhouettes. We also carefully select soft, often stretchy fabrics and designed to be comfortable yet also compliment maternity, newborn, family, or motherhood photoshoots. Lightweight materials also ensure you may easily move during your photoshoot as we pose and direct you.

Complimentary gown fittings are welcome

The studio booking calendar offers complimentary gown fittings. We set aside 1/2 hour so you may browse dresses in advance. Moreover, if you see a dress you like on our Instagram or Facebook feed, we're happy to set it aside for you!

November 2017 Babies in Studio | Sarah Borchgrevink Photography

Featuring the cutest babies in town who visited the studio during the month of November.

Posed Newborn Studio sessions for November 2017 by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography

Howdy, friends! Thank you for visiting my blog today! If this is your first time here, please allow me to introduce myself: my name is Sarah Borchgrevink (Bork-Grey-Veenk) and I'm a newborn portrait artist located in Northwest Harris County in Houston, Texas. My studio is the perfect place for your baby's first photo session and I'm delighted to work with you! I specialize in the art of posed newborn baby photography, meaning I almost exclusively take sweet cherub babies. While I do offer a nifty baby plan membership and a handful of outdoor, maternity or family photography sessions each month, my primary focus are babies who are fresh, new, and recently earth side. 

Today's post is going to preview a favorite image of mine from each session who visited this past month of November. Please note, however, I only preview the babies who's parents signed a social media release, and so if you requested your baby not be shared on Facebook, Instagram or my blog, I will respect your privacy and not showcase your little one. :-) While I adore each and every baby who comes to my studio, I want you to feel comfortable booking.

I am currently taking 15 due dates per month. Newborn sessions take place in my studio in the first 14 days of life, however, I do prefer around 5-8 days new. I offer three collections that cater to different budgets; they range from $450 + tax to $850 + tax for high resolution, retouched digital files as well as a print release. You can view more information about the offerings at the full pricing guide. i joyfully offer fully transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect. 

Sweet Cherub Babies from November | 14 days or newer

These are the sweetest little newborns who visited in November! As noted, I did not preview any babies who's parents requested no social media sharing. I am looking forward to December's sessions, too! Here is a favorite image from each session, so I hope you enjoy looking at the types of colors, hats, and head bands you'll find in studio. :-)

Outdoor Family First Birthday Session Cake Smash in Houston

The M Family's Natural Light & Outdoor Family Cake Smash Combination in honor of Baby Boy Jeremy turning the big one.

Here's what Jeremy's parents had to say about their baby plan membership to Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

Sarah is absolutely fantastic. Not only are her pictures superb, but her professionalism, personality, and all around demeanor are top notch. We are baby plan clients and at our of  sessions Sarah has been very easy to work with and has taken our specific likes and wants and incorporated them into our sessions. The best part by far is her turn around time. At our sessions we received our online gallery within a week of our session! I highly recommend Sarah for newborn and family photography!

Friends, good morning! I am excited to blog this incredibly adorable children's session in which we did a family + birthday photo shoot for one of my longtime clients. The M family first contacted me while Mom was pregnant; they booked a baby plan membership, which is a wonderful way to preserve the first year of life for your precious little one.

The Baby Plan Membership is any of the following combination:

  • In studio posed newborn session (wrapped mini, petite or full collection) of your choice
  • Any combination of 3, 6, 9 or 12 month milestone session

In this case, this sweet couple chose to do a full newborn collection as well as 6 and 12 month session. This is the most popular combination since many parents see the most difference in growth between newborn and 6 months; followed by 6 and 12 month differences. Here are some of my favorite images from our sunrise session.

Family Photos Take Place First 

Family sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning I embrace the spirit of your family. I encourage you to play with your kiddo, interact with your spouse and feel at ease. Family photos take place at the beginning so that little one has time to warm up to me. Plus, baby will be smashing a cake after the family part so this makes sure baby is clean for your family images, ha!

Individual Photos of Baby Are after family

The milestone portion of your child's session follows the family set ups. Milestone portion is where we focus on developmental changes since our last session together. For 12 months, it's usually standing or walking, pulling up, clapping their hands, smiling, and really showcasing their personality.

Let Them Eat Cake

After baby's individual portion of milestone images, we then focus on the cake smash aspect of your session. I provide timeless and vintage inspired props for this session, but also ensure baby is the focus of our time together, too. I do not like distracting aspects in the images so props are kept to a minimum so baby will be the shining star. Examples of props I may bring as things like an antique high chair, quilt, crate, etc. Due to allergy purposes, I have parents bring the cake. You may go as festive or minimalist as you like. :-) Outdoor cake smash or first birthday sessions always take place right around sunrise or sunset, too, for optimal lighting. You're given a location list to pick from so have no worries: I have lots of good options for you!

It's all in the details

An important aspect to me is the details of your session. I love showing off their little toes, messy hands, sweet up close shots of their faces, etc. While we do include many images of baby playing, exploring and checking out the cake, I adore showing all those precious moments Mamas are sure to love. Their little fingers, for instance, reaching for the cake is absolutely precious as can be! They're only little for a short time. Let them be small. This cake smash encourages them to be who they are and their personalities to shine through.
