Guess who's one? Ellie! | Cypress, TX childrens and family photographer

Oh, Ellie. You're so sweet and charming! I always love seeing you. When your mama e-mailed me about setting up your session, I was very excited to work with you and capture your personality as we celebrate you turning one.

It's a fun age. One year old's are inquisitive, spunky, and often have their own agenda. The latter especially makes for a fun photography session because we're never *quite* sure what will happen next. But that's alright; I advocate for embracing the child's mood and personality. 

For Ellie's natural light session, Mom and I planned a sunrise session. In case you didn't know, every session I do is either at sunrise or sunset; it is my goal for the sun to always act as a back light in every photo and surround your little one. The forecast for Houston, Texas said we could expect sunny skies. So, Mom and I planned an early sunrise session. However, things don't always go as planned. The morning of the shoot, the sky was dark and cloudy, even though the weather still predicted sunny skies! Hmph. No matter, we still had a great time.

Ellie could not be more beautiful! I adore the outfit suggestion. It's timeless and chic, too. Some of the photos Ellie is wearing her bow, and some of them she's not. She was a little feisty and definitely knew what fashionably attire she liked and didn't, haha! 

Thanks so much to this wonderful family. It's always great seeing you! I cannot wait to see Ellie next year.

Lucy is 6 months | Cypress child photographer {Sarah Borchgrevink Photography}

Good morning! I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Texas weather! I'm starting to not trust my local weatherman: according to the weather report, it was supposed to be in the low 40's today and raining. However, as I sit at my desk, the warm light and sunshine is shining through the blinds, and there's not a drop of rain in sight. :) Ha!

Nevertheless, I am thrilled to present you with Lucy's 6 month child photography session! As some of you know, she is my youngest and  we're so in love with her! Emma, our oldest, is a great big sister. Lucy has brought much joy and laughter to our home. It's only fitting we celebrate her 1/2 birthday with a beautiful session in Cypress, Texas. 

When Lucy was born, she was a chubby ball of red hair and blue eyes. A little cherub. Because of this, I've been planning a session in which she resembles a little cupid baby; dusky pinks and flower crowns. I contacted a local vendor named Diana to design her crown; she did a wonderful job understanding my vision. Moreover, my mother in law and I scoured Etsy to find the perfect lace dress for Lucy. We ended up ordering one for Emma, too, as we attempted some sibling shots. :)

My favorite part of Lucy's session is how happy she is! She's at the age where she's rocking back and forth on her hands and knees, but is not yet crawling, so she stays in place. Ha! She also is a very happy baby, often cooing and babbling. 

Emma also participated in the photo session, too. Sometimes she is interested and sometimes she's not. That evening, we didn't get many shots as she had a long day at school, but I am still super thrilled to have images Lucy and Emma together. 

Weekly Theme: Sibling Play {Sarah Borchgrevink Photography} Cypress, TX child photographer

Good morning, y'all! I hope everyone had a wonderful week and is gearing up for the weekend! My weekend is looking pretty laid back; Emma is turning 5 so we'll probably do something low key as her actual birthday party is in a few weeks. 

If you follow me or check in regularly, you may know that I do weekly projects and themes with my little ones.  This is partly because it helps me grow in a creative aspects, though it's also an interesting way to document the lives of my littles, Emma and Lucy. So often, as parents, we are busy doing a zillion things, so focusing on a theme is something I look forward to.

This week's theme is sibling and play. I love these images because it's about letting them be who they are. The weather was especially nice earlier on. That's a perk of living in Cypress, TX: year around play in the backyard! Ha! ;) For this set up, Emma wanted to have a picnic, so I simply laid a quilt out, placed some toys on the ground, and let them play.

However, as much as I love the nice weather, it can quickly turn sour. :-( This part of the week we ended up just playing inside. Perhaps my favorite element of this image is seeing Emma patiently explaining the toys to Lucy. They are four years apart, though Emma is ever so purposeful in her patience.

Lucy's little hands are so sweet! Small details make me smile. This is when she first started sitting up, so she is still learning to balance! 

Interesting fact about Emma: she LOVES dress up clothes! As soon as she comes home from preschool, she runs to her bedroom, strips her "every day" clothing, and prances about in a tutu or something magical (at least to a little girl). She also adores those cowboy boots. She's a Texan!

Now that Lucy is sitting up, I love capturing her smiles and seeing her explore the world. Having two little ones is a blessing!
