Customers choose Sarah Borchgrevink Photography for various reasons, though the list below is what we’re most proud of.

Number 2: The Studio is Fully Vaccinated

As adults who come into daily contact with newborns, the studio takes newborn safety seriously. The three primary vaccines a newborn studio should maintain are (1) Tdap, (2) MMR, and (3) flu vaccine. Staying up to date on these crucial vaccinations protects little ones, such as new babies, as this helps not pass dangerous diseases to vulnerable immune systems.

Number 3: Experienced Parents | Familial Dynamics

Sarah and Kevin Borchgrevink | Houston Photographers

As parents to four young children named Lucy, Emma, Amelia, and Jack, we're well-versed in patience and moving with the flow. All children have their personalities and dynamics. Parenting four children has taught us patience, compassion, kindness, and also how to be flexible. We know those sibling photos are of the utmost importance to you and work our absolute best to achieve the top results. Whether your family is serious or shy, animated or reserved, bashful, or spirited, we are ready for a photo adventure and excited to serve you!

Number Four: Fully Transparent Pricing Guide

The studio joyfully showcases fully transparent pricing and package guide, so there are no hidden fees or surprises. The studio offers fully inclusive pricing, which means there are no separate sitting or session fees for obtaining your final product. Our office also does all the proofing online. There is not a single in-person sales appointment, minimum print order, or stipulations in obtaining your full-resolution, retouched digital files of completed images, along with a print release, you may enjoy infinitely. Parents select the package with the number of digital files they would like to receive. All props and styling are provided from start to finish.

Number 5: Online Booking and Scheduling

To provide a modern and convenient booking process for parents, all bookings and schedules are made online through our booking page. The booking page showcases every session type we offer, such as studio maternity, posed newborn, studio family, and even baby milestone sessions for infants. Parents select their package, date, and time from an easy-to-use online calendar. Your deposit of $100 and a portraiture agreement are given through the online booking page. This commissions us as your photographer and secures your appointment. The online booking page also has nifty styling questionnaires, too, and sends text message reminders as well as e-mail reminders, so you're always up to date on your session time. You may expect to follow up e-mails, too, so you're sure of each step in our portraiture process together.

Our due date placeholder page is trendy!

Number 6: Complimentary Studio Tours and Consultations

We also set our business apart through complimentary, easy to schedule studio tours and consultations. Many parents like to tour our office in advance. Moreover, commissioning a photographer is a big decision! We are excited to meet with you and chat further about anything questions you may have. Customer service is of the utmost importance.

Update: as of April 2021, consultations are available to booked clients only due to COVID-19 Guidelines.

Studio tours are 30 minutes long. You are welcome to schedule them seven days per week.

Number 7: 7 Day Per Week Availability

Sarah Borchgrevink Photography is the only newborn, infant, and baby photographer in the Houston area who offers seven days per week scheduling and availability. Business hours are Monday - Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Number 8: Motherhood Wardrobe

The studio happily offers a wardrobe for new mothers to consider. Ethereal, light, airy, and timeless pieces accent your session beautifully. Expect to see ivory, creams, whites, and muted colors along with nudes, although there are colorful options, too. These are available in sizes small through 3xl. Ample sister wardrobe is a new addition, too! Available in sizes three months - 8t.

Number 9: Hair and Makeup Airbrush Artistry and Styling

The booking software will have you check ‘yes’ or ‘no’ for hair and makeup styling. If you choose yes, an on-location team of highly qualified and expertly trained artists will visit you, on location, at your home or the studio, if you’re more comfortable. However, the studio recommends home hair and makeup to make things easier for parents of young toddlers and newborn sessions. Annie Williams is our preferred vendor, and the software tells you how to contact her for your glamorous experience.

Number 10: Newborn Safety Workshops & Mentoring

Houston Newborn Photography Workshop

Aside from being the mommy to four young children, I have taken multiple newborn safety workshops in addition to professional mentoring. These courses train photographers on how to safely and beautifully pose precious babies. Workshop topics also cover editing, lighting, soothing, flow, and strategies and creative methods to provide breathtaking setups and styling. A reputable baby photographer has invested thousands of hours into honing their craft. Moreover, to provide a further network of newborn safety, the studio is fully vaccinated and runs an entirely legal, tax-paying insured business

Number 11: Highest Rated Newborn Photographer on Google

The studio is excited to share that of all the newborn, baby, and infant photographers in the entire Houston area, our studio is the highest rated via Google.
