1st Birthday Photography in Houston Texas

Good morning to you, friends! Today's blog post previews a recent natural light, outdoors cake smash session in honor of an adorable and vivacious baby girl turning one. First birthday photography is especially sweet, so why not add a cake to make things even sweeter? Ha! This in mind, keep on reading for more details about booking a cake smash, what's included, and how to get in touch.

What Props are provided:

When booking a child or baby session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, Sarah provides time, talent, and items that are already in my studio such as rustic crates, quilts, buckets, bowls, tie backs or headbands. In cases in which you're looking for a specific theme, parents bring these items. In this case, Mom brought items from baby girl's nursery, the outfits, and the cake. That way, there are no allergic reactions. I am happy to recommend some really awesome Houston bakers for you, such as El Bolillo, located in central Houston. Parents also bring any balloons they'd like, too.

I provided the head bands, seen below, and also the rustic barrel. My specialty is posed newborn photography, so the props I typically pull are items that I use with newborns, such as antique an vintage inspired pieces. High chairs, buckets, pails, boxes, crates, etc. Take a look at my studio to see the type of items I have on hand, such as bonnets and adorable head bands you may use, too. 

Please note I do take limited cake smash sessions as my focus is posed newborns; if you are interested in a first birthday session, please considering inquiring in advance so you're able to secure a spot on my calendar.

This sweet toddler baby girl had such an infectious personality. Despite being in the car for over an hour, she was in fantastic spirits, so full of smiles and personality. When culling her images, I had a huge smile on my face because she simply was such a lovely baby girl.

This set up is themed to reflect little one's birthday party, which was Minnie Mouse. Mom brought most of the decor, such as banners, balloons, cake, etc. I provided the antique high chair, cake stand, and barrel.
