Jewel Tones Meet Blush & Neutrals for a Spring Newborn Sensation

12 Day old Newborn Girl Session Featuring a Jewel Tone and Soft, Muted Pink Color Scheme for a Vibrant Spring Inspired Baby Session 

Florals, rustic bucket and impeccable styling

“We loved our newborn photo session with Sarah. Sarah is very sweet, professional and talented. I had complications after the birth of my daughter and thought I wasn’t going to be able to take part in the photo shoot. Sarah gave me several options and we were able to reschedule our session. I really appreciate what she did for me and I highly recommend her. Her work is beautiful!”

When styling my posed newborn sessions, I always keep your color preferences in mind. We also consider the season in which baby is born. For example, when this sweet cherub baby girl visited at just under two weeks new, Mom relayed she is a fan of both neutrals and vibrant jewel tones such as rich teal and deep purple. Simultaneously, nevertheless, Mom also requested soft blush pink and an ivory for a neutral portion of their session, too. This in mind, I created a stunning custom session curated to their taste and preferences while also sticking true to my timeless, vintage inspired and dreamy newborn images which act as fine art in your home.

This darling baby girl slept wonderfully for me - a complete treat! Her parents were absolutely lovely as can be and Dad especially was helpful during the session from asking questions, to hanging me props, and to moving things around for me even! 

Here are just a few of my favorite images from their spring inspired newborn photography session here in Houston, TX! Wishing you a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy seeing how vibrant colors can mix well with neutral styling, particularly for an April due date.

This is a new bucket I have in studio; when I purchased it, I thought about painting it cream, but the rich, golden wood is so pretty against a baby's skin, I may just leave it brown for now!

The adorable heart prop, seen below, is from a vintage quilter I  follow on Instagram. She makes the most adorable newborn props and I really enjoy using her pieces in my sessions.

As always, I encourage you to stick around and peruse the blog to see more timeless newborn photography, dynamic maternity sessions and even cute family milestones, such as outdoor and natural light portraits. 

Keep in touch and please visit again!

Warmly,

Sarah

Sarah’s Bean Bag Poses & Precious Wrapping | Client Preference List

Through the use of the squishiest bean bag posing and gorgeous newborn wrapping, Sarah creates timeless and unique family heirlooms you may forever treasure.

Good morning to you! Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm stoked you're here! Today's post showcases the type of bean bag posing I offer as well as cozy baby wrapping you may expect during our time together. This post is intended to viewed by clients so you may relay your posing preferences. For example, once baby has arrived and is earth side, all fresh and new, and part of this world, you'll notify me. I send you 3-4 dates to select from that take place in the first 14 days of life. You're sent a session styling questionnaire in which you're able to request props or items you've seen in studio, share you color preferences, and also let me know your *must have* poses. Let's get started!

When choosing a newborn photographer to photograph your baby, it's important you research their qualifications. How were they trained? Do they practice newborn safety and proper handling? Who did they mentor under? What type of precautions do they take when working with little ones? This in mind, these poses are ones I have learned through newborn workshops and mentoring; I have invested thousands of dollars into my newborn photography education. 

These poses take patience, time, love and care. Please do not attempt these at home. :-) 

A few things you should know about my business, Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, LLC: 

• I specialize in posed newborn photography. I am exclusively focusing on my precious, petite clients so they may have my undivided attention. My heart belongs to baby portraiture and I cannot express the joy in working with new parents during the first few days of life, capturing this time for you, and creating stunning works of art.
• Baby is always kept safe through the use of composites. I also implement safety tactics such as keeping the room warm so they may regulate their temperature, adding weights to the bottom of the baskets so they never tip forward, not straining or hurting baby's muscles by forcing them into a position, and absolutely NEVER leaving baby unattended, balancing them, or looking away for even a moment. 
• I have been working with newborns, full time, for 3 years. I average 15 due dates per month year around.
• I am fully vaccinated and legally insured.

Side Sleeper Pose

Side sleeper pose makes the list as one of my favorite in studio poses because it's simply precious as can be. As listed, this is when baby is simply posed on their side and it's the quintessential pose in showcasing baby's curly nature from their sweet little hands touching their face or tucked beneath their chin. I love how you can see all of baby and their squishiness!

Side sleeper pose is also very versatile because it can be done on back drops, flokati rugs, or even floor props such as the wooden trench seen below.

Froggy Pose 

Froggy pose is the number one pose parents request. It's classic, timeless and shows how flexible a new baby is. This pose is a favorite because we can see baby's beautiful face, their adorable tootsie toes and their adorable little hands gently cup their face. Truly a stunning fine art image, though it is truly not designed for a novice newborn photographer to attempt. 

Tooshie Up

Tooshie is beyond precious! This shows their face and entire body, plus those rolls you spent months growing. I love when their feet are tucked under their bum and their little hands gently touch their cheek. 

Taco

Taco pose is especially adorable because this is how they grow in the womb; their feet by their face. I like this pose because we see their entire face.

Back To Sleep

This is a favorite pose of mine because I love the way their feet are curled into their chest. It can also be done as a naked pose or wrapped option, too, so if you prefer more modest posing that's a great pose to consider for your session.

Forward Facing

Parents adore this pose because it's all about baby's face and hands! Oh, my goodness. Who would not want this as a portrait in their home? The chubby cheeks, full lips and their sweet fingers. Sigh. Pure newborn cuteness.

Potato Style of Newborn Baby Wrapping

Potato sack pose is a cornerstone to my newborn photography sessions. I love wrapping babies because it keeps them happy and warm, but also allows you to do several scenes without disturbing little one. The rounder baby is, the happier I am, ha! 

Tootsie Wrapping Style

Tootsie wrap is truly a sweet style because their darling little toes are featured. 

Bucket

Bucket is a fantastic option for your gallery! I do a bucket or basket pose like this with every single baby who visits my studio space.
