Lovely Locks Galore | Houston Baby Photography

Happy Tuesday, friends and welcome! Today's blog post showcases my favorite newborn session from this past month. While I adore each and every cherub who visits my Houston Newborn Baby Studio, there are sometimes sessions that have a particularly unique aspect to them. For example, I'm a professional baby portrait artist meaning I specialize in the custom art of posed newborn photography. I typically schedule my most petite & precious clients when they're around 6-9 days old. This is where I've seen the best results. 

However: rules can sometimes be broken. Babies can pleasantly surprise you!

To elaborate further, for instance, as of 2018, I am now offering appointments to babies outside of the traditional 14-day timeframe you'll typically see. I believe parents deserve to have amazing images of their darling bundles of joy. While earlier is best, there are many options for babies who miss the 14-day timeline and I joyfully invite you to consider a session with me!

Sometimes parents don't know how early they have to book to be on the calendar in advance. This is a great way to still fit in the last minute booking. Miso's parents, for instance, called me when baby girl was 10 weeks old and full term. However, no fear! Mom and I chatted for about an hour on the phone and talked about what she would like to see in their session since Miso is so much further along in development than a newborn. Mom requested macro images of baby plus parent posing. They also signed up for a baby plan membership with me, so I'll be seeing Miso for her first year of life. I'm thrilled to have them as membership clients and am blessed to meet such amazing, kind-hearted parents in Houston.

Anyway, since Miso was 10 weeks old and at the time of her session, she was sporting some amazing hair! Oh, my goodness - from the moment I started wrapping her, I could not believe how much hair she has! Mom joked they call her "Einstein," due to how her hair sticks up in the back, ha! 

Allow me to introduce Miso

Miso is a beautiful baby girl girl who weighed 6 pounds at birth. She was born on her due date in March 2018, specifically on the 3rd. When she visited my studio, she weighed a little over 9 pounds and had the creamiest, fair skin - so pretty! Mom requested all things girly for her session such as a muted pink to showcase the feminine aspects of a brand new girl. She was very alert for part of her session, giving me incredible eye contract! Her almond shaped eyes are full of wonder and truly soulful.

Here are just a few of my favorite images! Her parents received 57 gorgeous, perfected full resolution digital files in their gallery as well as the matching print. :-)

Bringing Your Fur Baby to the Studio | Houston Newborn Photographer

Specializing in newborn portraits in the Houston area, Sarah Borchgrevink Photography offers the option to bring your fur baby for the sibling portion of your studio portraiture session.

My husband and I absolutely loved working with Sarah! She was so accommodating and so personable. We wanted our newborn photo shoot to include our dog, and she was even ok with that! We were very surprised, as many other photographers refused that request. Sarah is warm and inviting, and the entire experience was pain-free. She was so good with the baby, and most importantly, the photos came out amazing! We immediately used them for our birth announcement/Christmas card, and we are excited to work with her in the future for yearly family shoots. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!

Hi, there! Welcome! As a professional newborn photographer, I pride myself on offering a top notch portraiture experience that's both easy going and fantastic. Working with new parents and their darling bundles of joy is an absolute honor; part of offering a wonderful customer service driven experience is listening to their needs and being open to making their dream image happen. In this case, when Mom and Dad contacted me, they asked if I'm open to pets in studio. Fur babies are often the first baby; they're part of the family. 

I am happy to accommodate requests, such as incorporating the family pet into your session. 

If you'd like to bring your pet to a photography session, a few things to note:

  • let me know in advance
  • share details about the pet's personality
  • have a grandparent or friend be available to take dog home after "sibling" portion

The sweet pup was very calm and laid back. When adding him into the family and sibling portion of their session, I used the big white bed. This is a good option for safety. Mom and Dad also sat right next to the baby and pup; I simply cloned them out of the images in processing.

Followed by the sibling "fur baby" portion, we moved onto the normal styling you'll find in a typical newborn session I document. Since you're already here, check out some super cute images of baby boy Jacob!

 Dynamic Maternity Images in Houston by Sarah Borchgrevink

Good morning, friends! Today's blog post is all about gorgeous maternity photography and the sweet mama who rocked her on location pregnancy session featuring golden light, a stunning atmosphere and who truly was a joy to document!

If this is your first time here, welcome! I'm Sarah! I specialize in newborn photography, however, each month I take a handful of maternity sessions. These are available to both new and returning clients, however, clients who have also booked a custom newborn baby session have priority on the calendar.

My on location, natural light maternity sessions take place at golden hour, meaning right as the sun is rising or just as the sun is setting. This creates the best Houston maternity portraits that are timeless, stunning, ethereal, and will forever preserve this incredibly special time in your life. Awaiting the arrival of your little one is absolutely a joy - I know you can't wait to meet him or her! 

For this session, we chose a location in Houston, which is where my studio is based, so I typically work in areas that are close to my workplace. This location is a favorite among clients and has the best light of all the options. It is available M-F for sunset only, since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. 

This sweet mommy to be booked both a maternity session and in studio newborn session. Her newborn session is truly fantastic, so I'm looking forward to previewing some of those images, too! :-) Typically, maternity sessions take place when your baby bump is around 34-36 weeks along. Most mothers book 6 weeks in advance. The calendar does fill in advance so if you're interested in a maternity session, I recommend contacting me sooner rather than later. 

Here are some of my favorite images from our time together! Enjoy!
