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!

{The L Family} Cypress, TX photographer for families

If you follow me or perhaps occasionally check in on my natural light and on location photography work, you know my sessions begin at either sunrise or sunset. This is when the light is soft, most flattering. I love both times of the day, but there's something special about sunrise. A stillness in the air as the world begins to awake; the sun dances through the trees, and a softness envelopes the session. A quiet nuance adds magic. 

I am excited to present the L family. As you can see, they're a family of five: Mom, Dad, little one and of course their two impossibly adorable fur babies.

One of my favorite details about the session is the weather. Although it was 38 degrees outside, the sun was shining, so it added a touch of warmth. Paired with winter clothing, we had a wonderful session with beautiful, yummy light!

If you look closely, you can see their breath within the air - I decided to leave this and not remove this in processing.

For the session, we kept the posing very laid back. I asked Mom and Dad to interact with Little One. She wasn't feeling very well during the session (but we didn't know that at the time). She still was a trooper and didn't shed a single tear! :-)

I love the interaction of Dad and Little One. He was excited to listen, and took direction very well. Families and children are my favorite subjects to photograph because I love the interaction. It brings me joy to see loving parents and happy children!

Mom is gorgeous! Her smile is radiant! She also has a beautiful spirit; a sense of calm about her, and she was wonderful to work with - so kind and patient!

Here's a little bit of Mommy and Little one love for you! Hugs and snuggles - the perfect way to start a morning!

I also took some time to work with Mom and Dad during the session. As parents, we so often forget about ourselves in the midst of all that there is to do. More often than not, one parent is behind the camera and that doesn't leave many photo opportunity between spouses. Because of this, I always spend 3-5 minutes with Mom and Dad, having them connect and remember why they fell in love - why they're building a beautiful life together, and to think about all that they've accomplished as a couple.

To finish the session, I spent some one on one time with Little One. She is so soulful - so serious. Her eyes are beautiful! Sweet, precious baby girl! You're almost one and so loved, so treasured! You're surrounded by an abundance of joy!
