Hi, friends! Welcome to my blog! Today’s topic is all about adorable, vintage-inspired classic newborn photography props that you’ll find in my studio. We’re specifically chatting about hats, caps, and bonnets, which are the quintessential prop to show off your precious baby’s stunning features, such as their cheeks, oh my!

Let’s get started on everything you need to know!



Full Styling such as props and accessories are provided

When you visit my newborn & baby studio you’ll find everything you need for a great session! In fact, I pride myself on having a huge variety of luxury newborn props and items that create amazing works of baby art! Part of having a beautiful gallery, one of which stands the test of time, is having impeccable yet unique items on hand to stylishly adorn my most petite, precious clients.

For instance, you’ll find numerous colors of hats, bonnets, and little caps for both genders! Boys and girls are adorable in these hand-knitted bonnets, many of which come from all over the world. Part of the reason these props are so amazing is because each prop is custom made for the perfect newborn prop size; unlike big box stores there is something absolutely special and endearing about using a prop made my another small business, one of which makes the props specifically for certain sizes (such as 6 pounds).

What makes these special?

The bonnets in my studio, moreover, are perfect for your little one because they’re made of hypoallergenic and the softest, most natural materials for your new addition.

Since the items are handmade, they have the most adorable knitted ties and are made of super soft material, such as alpaca yarn. Newborn photography bonnets truly are special because they’re created by other people who want your images to truly shine! Using classic, timeless, and vintage-inspired props set your gallery apart through texture, unique colors, and having your precious baby’s sweet cheeks showcased! Hats are such a great addition to any session!

Absolutely gorgeous textiles

Here are sample images of sleepy caps, bonnets, hats, slouchy beanies, and more! Playing dress up with my clients is an a dream and I look forward to all of our styling. Darling little baby hats with delicate features is the perfect compliment to your little one!

When booking a portraiture session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, macro images are highlighted throughout our time together. As a mother to four young children (Emma, Lucy, Amelia, and Jack!) I can attest that the unique characteristics of your little one will make your heart sing!

F.A.Q From Parents | ‘What are Macro Images?”

tiny details newborn photography

A popular question I receive from expecting parents is, “what are the photos called in which it’s an up-close detailed photo of the baby?” The answer is simple: macro photography is simply extreme close-up photography; in the world of custom newborn portraiture, which is my specialty, these are everything good and beautiful about your precious baby. Eyelashes, tufts of hair, toes, lips, profile, hands - it’s all fearfully and wonderfully made.

Moreover, these darling details in which you’ll dote are featured in all packages including the wrapped newborn session, bean bag session, full, and also the petite package.

Amazing & Unique

The smallest details make the biggest impact on your heart.

Part of being one of the Best Houston Newborn Photographers (2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) is creating breathtaking works of art through timeless, vintage-inspired scenes. Macro images are both unique and amazing because they showcase what is distinct about your own bundle of joy. Each baby is their own person. Years from now, when your little one is grown, you’ll fondly look back on the images of them as they became part of this world. Providing cherished heirlooms is of the utmost importance to me and creating unique yet classic images that preserve your cherub is my ultimate goal.

“Having Sarah take newborn pictures of our newborn was a TERRIFIC decision!
I have used other newborn and family photographers in the past and Sarah is the most prepared, patient, and fluid of all of them. She has a vision of the shots she wants to take and the studio is set up and ready to go prior to your session. The excitement and passion Sarah has for photographing newborns is unmatched! She looooves babies and looooves what she does. Her exuberance and professionalism made the session go so quickly and smoothly. The final products are AMAZING! I worked for Disney and they always taught us, “Communication is key”. Sarah GETS IT! She was by far the best at communicating and touching base before and after our session. “ - Emily

“Had an amazing experience with Sarah from the beginning. Sarah was very professional in all of her communications and very fast to respond to any questions we had. When it came to the week of our shoot, the weather was looking a little shaky and Sarah kept us very up to date on the plan should weather cause any issues. The night before we decided due to the rain that we would reschedule to the following weekend. When we showed up for our shoot Sarah was prepared with props and very good at giving direction. We are very happy with our photos and already have our 2nd shoot booked!!! “ - Brandon & Erin

“Sarah is an amazing photographer. We have used her for all our daughter's big events in her short 1 year life (maternity, newborn, family, photos and 1 year photos). Sarah has always been such a pleasure to work with, always answers her phone and makes me feel like I am talking to an old friend. The picture quality is AMAZING! We have the best photos of our little girl. All the photos are timeless works of art. I still marvel at all the photos we received. I recommend Sarah to all my friends and will continue to use her every year to capture the love and unique characters of our little family. if you are looking for a friendly, talented, patient, responsive photographer, look no further you have found her! “ - Ana & Scott


newborn photos with mom and dad

“Let me start of by saying that Sarah was absolutely AMAZING! She was so patient, calm, and took all the time she needed. Our baby was in the NICU so her pictures were done at 14 days old instead of the usual 5-9 days, & she did every thing she could to get me a froggie pose picture since it was one of my request. All the pictures came out so perfect, our family loved them, we received so many compliments from family & friends. My husband and I have been recommending to her to everyone! It was so worth the investment. “ - Eunice

“Sarah takes our family pictures every year. She takes beautiful photos and offers packages for a reasonable price that include a variety of poses. We have a two year old son and he is pretty wild, and she was still able to get a number of great shots for us to choose from. The whole process with Sarah is very easy and she outlines all the steps for you from picking a location, clothing, choosing from proofs, lab selection for printing, and more. I really can't say enough good things about her as she is truly talented and professional. We will continue to use her for our photos and I will recommend her to everyone! “ - Rita & HL
