Last Week in Studio: Little Sitters, Siblings, Parents, and New Arrivals

Offering adorable baby milestone sessions as well as posed newborn photography featuring sibling, parent, and family setups, Sarah shares highlights from last week's sessions! 

Howdy, friends! Today's blog post is a fun one because you get to see last week's sessions + what makes them special. Welcome! Let's get started!

Big Brother Link | Newborn Photography with Sibling

This sweet big brother, named Link, could not have been sweeter during his sibling portion of little sister's newborn session. Link is not even two years old, yet, either, so this is a great posing idea for sibling. These images are included in the "full' newborn collection, but are also available as an add on in every other collection I offer, such as the wrapped mini, bean bag mini, and petite sessions. My favorite part of this setup is how clean and classic all the colors are; I adore timeless and vintage inspired sessions, so the lace headband, ivory wrap, cream flokati rug, and simple white shirt and dark wash jeans are the perfect outfit for a sibling and newborn baby girl setup. Link was especially special to me because he was so tender and soft with his baby sister.

Mia at nearly 3 weeks new

mini newborn session houston tx

Mia is a brand new arrival who visited my Houston Newborn Baby Portrait Studio at just under 3 weeks old. Her session is special because she's the first baby who's mama booked my brand new session offering, called the newborn wrapped mini! Featuring gorgeous textiles, antique and rustic floor props, and full styling such as bonnets and dainty tiebacks, this is a great option for babies who are 30 days or newer. This is designed for parents seeking just a few stunning and unique images of their new cherub. These sessions are also special because they're under an hour long so you're in and out of the studio really quickly! 

Grady's Little Sitter Session at 7 Months Old

Handsome Grady absolutely stole my heart! From the moment his mama brought him into the studio, he was all smiles. His captivating blue eyes and strawberry blond hair had me wanting to snuggle him the entire time! We did several setups, 5-6, and really showcased adorable outfits that are available to all of my clients. Full styling and accessories are provided for all little sitter sessions, including baby milestone photography.

These sessions set themselves apart because there are (3) pricing tiers you may select from; this caters to different budgets and also offers affordable Houston Baby Photography to new parents. There's a mini, standard, or deluxe package.

First time parents Rachel & Brian | Family + Newborn Photography

Rachel and Brian were such a treat to photograph in studio! They visited when their little girl was just under a week old. I was completely impressed with them, too! Mom is a pediatrician and just finished her residency, right when having a new baby! They even were in the middle of closing on their house and moving just a few short days later. Talk about super parents, huh? For their parent portion, Mom wore a stunning blush top that looks lovely against the white light; Dad wore a classic blue button up. Adorned with an ivory wrap and soft, muted pink headband, their little lass is the perfect bundle of joy. Mom and Dad booked the 'petite' option on my pricing guide. This is the perfect collection for first time parents who would like lovely images such as mom with baby, dad with baby, and parents together with baby.

Aria at 7 Days Fresh | New Earth side Arrival

newborn girl in bucket

It's no secret that Houston Newborn Photography is my specialty and where I thrive! Nothing gives me as much joy as working with babies who are less than a month old; preserving this time for parents is incredibly rewarding and I cannot believe I call this my full-time job! Parent of being one of the best Houston Newborn Photographers (2016-2018) is offering beautiful setups that are not only unique and timeless but also showcase baby in the most precious of ways! Baby in a bucket is part of every session I do. Aria weighs just over 7 pounds and has a head full of gorgeous dark brown hair. Her tiny fingers, button nose, and sweet lips truly are stunning.

Heidi | 8 Days old at 6 pounds

Beautiful Heidi visited at 8 days old and her session featured tons of naked bean bag posing, which was Mom's preference. The main color in her session was aquamarine with teal accents. Her session is special because all of my newborn props are hand-crafted by incredible vendors all over the world! This headband, for instance, is from the UK and is from a great gal called Created by Carli. Her items are impeccable; while they are an investment, they set newborn sessions apart through creativity, unique looks, and also they're dainty and petite. My preference is for all the styling to fit my brand which is rustic, classic, dreamy, timeless. 

Lily Rose | 8 pounds & 7 days old

Lily Rose is a completely gorgeous baby girl! At over 8 pounds, technically nearly 9, she was so squishy and chubby! Her cheeks and beautiful features are perfection! I adore this setup of her, which features cream, ivory, lace, and a wooden rustic bowl because we're able to see her face, hands, toes, and she looks completely at peace. When working with new arrivals, such as precious newborn babies, the sessions are very laid back and serene. Your baby should never be in distress or crying. I have years of experience and pride myself on finishing my sessions in 2 hours or less. 

Baby girl M | Lovely Lilac & Lavender

Baby girl M came for her newborn session at just over a week old. Weighing 6 pounds and having a breathtaking head full of hair, this little lady was the perfect newborn session! She slept beautifully for me and rocked each and every one of her poses. Her color scheme showcases many purple tones such as lavender and lilac. Soft, muted, classic. The quintessential colors for a dainty little lady! Her session was also a favorite of mine because her parents are long time clients! I've been working with them for years, so it was really fun to catch up with them during their fall family session, Mom's outdoor, natural light maternity session, and then see them again for the posed newborn appointment. 

Michelle & Jeff | Baby Plan Membership Clients

Michelle and Jeff were great to have in studio! On top of being wonderful and sweet, they're also baby plan membership clients with a maternity session add-on. This means they secured an outdoor, natural light pregnancy portraiture session, posed in-studio newborn photos, and I'll also see them for their little girl's 7 month sitter session and even a 12 month cake smash & splash! You may enjoy seeing their maternity session featuring two adorable fur siblings!

Sarah was an absolute sweetheart to work with! Being 30 weeks pregnant, I was not feeling the hottest, but she made me feel beautiful and relaxed the whole time. We took our photos at one of the parks during sunset and thank goodness, she brought bug spray with her because I was getting eaten alive. The maternity shoot came out beautifully and I’m super excited for the newborn session now. Thanks, Sarah!

For my time with this sweet couple, we scheduled their session around their baby shower. It's great to have your pregnancy photos taken so they may be displayed at the baby shower so your family and friends can see how magnificent and radiant your adorable baby bump is!

For clients who book a session with me, I do my best to ensure you have wardrobe advice for your session. For example, I've created a curated list of my favorite maternity photo-shoot gowns that are available on Amazon and under $40. The gown Mom is wearing is option number 2. :-) 

I also have an awesome hair and makeup artist recommendation for you, too!

You will look and feel your best, which makes for amazing photos! Part of being one of the best Houston newborn and maternity photographers is offering a fantastic experience from start to finish. 

Here are some of my favorite images from our session together! They are expecting a little girl this summer so stay tuned to see a follow up on their newborn session! They may be having their first human baby, but their fur babies named Oatmeal & Boba totally stole the show during our session, ha! The dogs were simply so sweet I could not stop gushing over them. They added such a fun dynamic to the portraits.

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!
