15 of the Cutest Lil Taters in Studio: Potato Sack Pose and Wrapping

15 Babies Who Slayed Their Potato Sack Newborn Pose 

Versatile & Why It's the Best

Hi, friends! Today's blog post is a great read because it's all about my favorite type of newborn wrapping during my posed session: potato sack pose. This post also showcases 15 precious earth side cherubs who totally rocked this setup! Wrapping little ones makes for totally unique, special, and very laid back sessions.

Part of hiring a professional portrait photographer for your little one's first session is choosing someone who will keep baby's comfort in mind. Since the baby has spent nine months in a warm, tight place this style of wrapping is not only adorable but keeps baby very sleepy and calm. Essentially, creating an environment that mimics the womb baby does super well!

This is the best style of newborn wrapping because it's most versatile. For instance, during this pose you can do the following setups:

• Sibling

• Mom with Baby

• Dad with Baby

• Mom/Dad/Baby

• Baby in floor prop

• Baby on the flokati rug

• Baby "sitting up" in potato sack pose

• Baby laying down in potato sack pose

• Macro images (up close detailed images of baby's features)

This allows you to create a gorgeous gallery for clients while seamlessly moving through tons of set ups! Moreover, potato sack pose is the best style of wrapping because it truly embodies baby as a bundle of joy. Parents marvel at how round they are - just like a little basketball! 

I typically start my newborn sessions with this style, though have been known to sometimes end in a potato sack, too. Each baby is different! 

Newborn Wrapping Basics

When wrapping a baby in potato sack pose, it is very important to ensure they are stable and properly supported. This style of wrapping can be achieved by attending a newborn workshop on safety + session flow. I would not recommend this pose to anybody who has not taken any hands on training as they baby is sitting up. The workshops will teach you how to achieve this look with baby's safety in mind. 

Potato sack wrapping is also a great way to incorporate texture into the session. For example, there are several types of textiles on hand from cheesecloth to chunky knits. They may vary, depending on season, but are wonderful ways to elevate your newborn session through unique props. I adore using handcrafted hats and bonnets, too, to highlight baby's chubby cheeks! Few things are as precious as a brand new little one. Sometimes they even give us a smile, seen below, which is a total gem to capture. Such sweetness!

Simple Newborn Wrapping & Posing

Keep baby nice and snug by ensuring their joints are wrapping perfectly. This keeps baby very sleepy and content. They can be posed into adorable floors props, such as buckets, bowls, crates, etc. The options are endless, and my clients have full access to the vast array of awesome props I have on hand. In fact, I am constantly adding to my stash and am mildly (who I kidding, TOTALLY) addicted to having new items on hand for my most precious clients!

Thanks for visiting to see 15 adorable babies who rock their newborn session! I hope you enjoyed reading about the simple, precious, and darling way to wrap a newborn baby!!

Parents Give Complete Creative Freedom | Artist's Color Choices

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers a large variety of props such as colorful textiles, natural organics, vintage-inspired pieces, and stunning accessories to complement your precious baby.

Greetings, friends! Today's blog post is a special one because it shares unique and creative newborn sessions. You see, as a professional baby portrait photographer, my studio is the perfect place to have your little one's first photos taken! I offer many affordable options with completely transparent pricing. Parents encounter no hidden fees or surprises when booking. Everything is a seamless, laid-back experience from the moment you contact me about securing your own appointment.

For instance, a styling questionnaire is given so parents may relay their color preferences to me. This, along with a newborn session prep guide, is given so you're sure to have an amazing session! However, sometimes parents tell me they have no color preferences or specific props in mind. They give me complete creative freedom, which is a huge treat! Having the option to pull anything is truly a wonderful way to be creative and provide some of the best Houston Newborn Photography images! I cannot thank my clients enough for entrusting me to work with your family.  

Let's get started on showcasing two recent sessions that made my heart sing! 

Joshua | 6 Days New

Joshua is the most handsome little dude! Weighing just over 7 pounds with a head full of gorgeous, dark and curly locks he truly is a gem! His sweet parents told me to choose everything for the session. This in mind, I pulled all things classic yet unique; shades of blue, spring greenery, rustic red, and antique buckets. I even made sure to pull a neutral as this compliments his skin perfectly! 

Joshua's session also reflects masculine newborn boy colors such as charcoal grey in the popular potato sack style of newborn wrapping. This is the super cute one where they look like a round little egg, ha! Parents always ask me how I am able to make them round like a basketball and I explain I learned this at a newborn workshop in Houston, TX. I do practice newborn safety with all of my petite clients so if you ever have a question about how a certain look is acheived please know I am an open book an completely transparent in all that I do. :-) 

Aria | 5 Days Old

When Aria's parents booked her newborn appointment, they expressed complete trust in my preferences and relayed that they came to me for my professional opinion. Since I do photography newborn cherubs full time, for a living, this is a great idea since I know how colors will look under the lights, especially once we process the images in Photoshop.

For Aria, I pulled inspiration from her gorgeous skin tone! Her features are absolutely stunning: beautiful eyes, long lashes, and sweet cupid lips. She is an absolute beauty!

Aria's posed newborn session is a work of color art! You'll find many stunning tones such as a rich, vibrant purple and lilac lavendar as well as a fun spring time yellow, too! Adorned with custom headbands and tiebacks, she is the epitome of newborn grace and beauty! Her session was an absolute dream and she was such a joy to work with! Mom and Dad did an incredible job preparing her for the newborn session. They even brought grandma along to help, too! It takes a village, and I am so excited to have photographed this beautiful time for her parents. 

As always, friends, thank you for visiting my blog to see information about how I create unique, rustic, and timeless newborn baby portraits! I hope you visit again and if you ever find yourself in Houston, I would love to work with you! Moreover, if you have a friend or family member who is perhaps expecting their own bundle of joy, I would love you to refer them to my portraiture work. Wishing you a joyful day, gang! 

All my warmth to you,

Sarah
