Rainbow Baby Girl Calista | Cutest Houston Newborn Photography

Sarah Borchgrevink Photography offers timeless, fresh and unique baby photography. Calista + her sweet parents visited the studio at 11 days new.

Hi, friends! Good morning to you! Happy Friday! Today is a great day here in Houston. The sun is shining, it's about 80 degrees out, and I have a full calendar of fun shoots geared up for this weekend. However, up first is an adorable studio session focusing on a precious baby girl. If this is your first time at my blog, welcome! I'm excited you're here. 

In case you're interested, C's parents booked both a natural light, outdoor maternity session that took place during sunset . This is a huge treat for me because it's fun to work together before we document your newborn baby's session. This is also a great idea for clients because it ensures the editing style is the same so all of your wall art is cohesive and matches, plus it means you've met the person who will be handling your new baby. As a mama, I completely understand who you choose to photograph your newborn is a huge deal! I am currently pregnant with baby number 4 and just booked me own newborn session for him; I did a TON of research! 

Also: before we dive into the session I have to brag a little bit. Mom is a super talented hair and make up artist serving the entire Houston area. I refer her to all of my clients so here's a little more information about her professional beauty services in case you're ever looking for someone to make some magic, ha! She also is extremely sweet, giving, kind and a joy to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough. She's located close to my studio, too, so it's really convenient. 

Let's get started, shall we? :-) 

Family and Parent Images 

For family and parent images, I like to wrap baby in a soft neutral color so as not to detract from baby's elegance. For little boys, I generally leave them without a bonnet or hat, however, for little ladies, like Calista, I will adorn their sweet heads with a lovely flower crown, headband or tie back. In this particular instance, I used a pink and purple headband by one of my favorite newborn prop vendors since this reflects the colors in baby's nursery. This vendor is located in the UK, but makes amazing items! Check her out. :-)

Rainbow Baby Girl | Calista at 11 days fresh & new

You may be asking yourself, "What's a rainbow baby?" According to kick's count, a rainbow baby is:

A “rainbow baby” is a baby that is born following a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or infant loss.In the real world, a beautiful and bright rainbow follows a storm and gives hope of things getting better. The rainbow is more appreciated having just experienced the storm in comparison.

The mama natural blog also elaborates explaining that:

Like the miracle of a rainbow after a storm, many mamas refer to babies born after loss as their rainbow babies.  The rainbow doesn’t erase the storm, nor does the arrival of a new baby eclipse the tragedy of previous pregnancy loss.

Calista and her parents stopped by for a full newborn collection when she was 11 days fresh and new. Weighing over 9 pounds, her chubby cheeks and adorable features truly made my heart melt. I could not help but marvel at her beauty and tell her mama how lucky she is. 

This collection is about 2 hours long. This gives plenty of time for baby to be fed, soothed, etc., and also allows for diaper changes and a relaxed atmosphere.

There's something especially fresh and pure about using white during a newborn session. While I am a really big fan of all things vibrant, I do include neutrals here and there since it adds a timeless element to your gallery. All of my headbands, tie backs, bonnets and hats are custom designed by small business owners so there's a huge selection.

This super cute floor prop is a dream! I wish it was mine, but Mom did bring it in. It looks perfect again the burgundy!

Followed by the vintage Dr. Pepper box, we used one of my favorite buckets. The sage green looks lovely on her. Green, you see, is one of those colors parents don't always consider. That's part of my job during session design: coming up with neat combinations for you.

The vintage cradle is one of my other favorite props. This is because the prop can be styled to reflect the gender of baby. In this case, we used a soft mauve that's muted. Pink is not my favorite color but I will use a mauve here and there. While there is nothing wrong with the color pink, it's a common color and my goal is to create interesting images that are dynamic, fresh and authentic through the use of texture, color, and vintage inspired props and items. :-) If you like pink, however, no worries! I always make sure it is showcased at some point in your collection. In case you are interested in some alternatives to pink, feel free to read away!

After floor props, this is where we do the bean bag posing. All of these are done with care and usually take about 45 minutes from start to finish. Baby does call the shots here, so if she is not comfortable in a pose, we move on and try something else. If you would like to read more about my favorite newborn poses, too, you'll find tons of great information on newborn safety, posing and handling.

Fresh, Gorgeous Neutral Baby Boy Session | Meet Jakob

Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, serves the Greater Houston Area including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe and Magnolia Texas. Welcome Baby Boy Jakob - 7 days fresh and new.

Greetings, friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you're having an awesome day and up to something fun with your family. Today I am at my desk working on business tasks, but I am also excited because a sweet baby girl is coming to my studio in a few hours. For now, however, I'm going to show off this absolutely precious little boy who visited recently. His name is Jakob. At 7 days old, he visited my all white, organic Houston Newborn Photography studio and slept wonderfully for me. He weighed around 7 pounds and loved the cozy wrapping. Here are some of my favorite images of his session.

The Woodlands Newborn Photographer

Jakob's parents were sweet as can be. They chose to not do family images and focus on baby. They selected me petite collection, which offers a wonderful array of images from super cute wrapped portraits, floor props, naked bean bag posing and of course the fantastic macro images that truly capture the unique aspects of your new baby.

Mom relayed she really is a fan of neutrals, however, is not opposed to perhaps a bit of color such as navy blue. They came from The Woodlands, which is just north of Houston, and I made sure their entire session was set up so we could begin on time. 

North Houston Baby Photographer 

During their baby session, the little ones love to be wrapped! Parents always marvel at how easily they fall asleep. Moreover, this keeps baby sleep so we can utilize many props and set ups. For example, this enables me to use two floors props. Examples of floor prop choices are buckets, bowls, baskets, crates, boxes, all of which are antique and vintage inspired to reflect my personal tastes. I must note: always research your newborn photographer's portfolio to ensure you're a good fit. :-) I do a lot of color but am not opposed to a neutral session here and there, such as this one. 

Spring TX Baby Photography 

Baby Boy has gorgeous skin! He is simply glowing and is the picture of health. His full head of hair, cup lips, button nose, chubby cheeks and sweet smile simply made my heart soar. He also was very curly and fun to pose; I truly like for baby to look as timeless and simple as possible. While newborn photography truly is a custom art, it should look effortless in the final images, despite it being anything but easy. I am formally trained and have taken many workshops on safety, lighting, posing, flow, wrapping and post processing of your images. This is why I take your investment very seriously.

Ahhhh! That sweet, sleepy yawn! These are always favorites of mine since images such as this truly show off the baby and their personality.

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

Gorgeous outdoor family and first birthday portraits | Houston TX Photographer

Houston Family 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.
