Houston Maternity & Newborn Membership Package | Everything You Need to Know

Located in Uptown, Sarah Borchgrevink offers stunning maternity portraiture as well as breathtaking newborn images.

Good morning, friends! Greetings! Today's blog post is a nifty one filled with everything you need to know when it comes to booking a beautiful session! There is a Belly & Baby membership which is ideal for parents seeking both maternity & newborn photography services. There is a discount, moreover, for parents booking multiple sessions at one time. You also have priority on the calendar.

I am happy to share further details and information about maternity & newborn portraiture. Most mothers book their maternity & newborn membership around 20 weeks, or the second trimester. Maternity sessions take place when your baby bump is anywhere from 31-36 weeks along. These take place in a natural light, on location setting and are the perfect way to celebrate your session! Through natural posing, sun-kissed lighting, and gorgeous scenery, I create timeless images showcasing the love and bond between an expecting couple or mother to be. As of June 1st, 2019 there will be the option, however, to photograph your session in the new studio located in Uptown.

For the newborn portion, your due date is placed on the calendar as a placeholder, however, the actual session takes place in the first 14 days of baby’s life with the best sessions being around 6-7-8 days new. You will select your session date from the online scheduling calendar as soon as Baby is born. I am a full-time newborn photographer based in Uptown.

Leave the newborn details to me

  • All props and styling are provided by me. Clients receive a styling questionnaire as well as a newborn prep guide so you’re sure to know what exactly will happen. Your styling questionnaire will have you relay the poses you like (or perhaps dislike), your prop preferences, and also colors you would like to see in your session. This ensures your newborn session is fully customized and curated to your personal tastes while showcasing my timeless, dreamy and rustic baby portraiture style. The photos will look amazing as they grace the walls of your home!

Rustic, timeless, and dreamy newborn portraiture is the style Sarah encompasses. See full sample galleries of both a boy and a girl session.

Moreover, bringing a newborn to a studio can be an adventure for new parents, but I ensure you’re prepared and up to date on everything that will occur so you can have an amazing experience! I am also fully vaccinated as I work with primarily newborn babies. If you’d like to read reviews on the portraiture experience, I welcome you to peruse and browse them! There are over 260 five star reviews from parents seen at the Google business listing for Sarah Borchgrevink Photography.

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, shares the best gowns you can find on Amazon that are affordable, stylish, and will perfectly enhance your maternity session. 

Greetings, friends! If you're booking a session, this may be your first baby, and you're unsure what to wear to the session or how to style yourself. Selecting outfits for a pregnancy photoshoot can be a little daunting; you're not a professional photographer, and you're unsure what photographs well. 

Have no fear! I am an experienced Mama! I love working with you and helping you find the perfect gown in a style that flatters you, matches the type of decor you have in your home, and also showcases your radiant baby bump.

First and foremost: congratulations on your precious baby! Pregnancy is an exciting time full of joy, anticipation, and; hopefully, a stunning yet dynamic photography session preserving this incredibly special time in your life. Welcome to motherhood!

This list is curated to include various styles, fabrics, and textures. I also considered different types of fit and how some mothers may prefer more coverage. Moreover, the gowns I am previewing had many colors from which to select. This is helpful for different skin tones, too.

Fun fact: You can often use the maternity gown as an option for your baby shower or even your newborn session since the material is often flowy and stretchy.

Stunning Mother to be in a maternity gown:

A few days ago, I had the honor of working with a very sweet couple (who will have their own dedicated blog post soon since Mom had two awesome dresses for their session, ha!). From the moment Mom e-mailed me, I knew she was a perfect client and I could not wait to work with them! They're expecting a precious baby boy soon; at 35 weeks along, her baby bump is absolutely perfect and she is full of radiance, vibrancy, and truly a beautiful spirit! 

I am hoping to talk them into bringing their fur babies to the studio for the newborn session, so cross your fingers, ha! 

The pregnancy gowns are a great option for your session because they're feminine, soft, flowy, and add a delicate aspect to your photos. They're also designed to showcase the bump, too, so you know the final outcome will feature your little one.
