Mommy & Me | Spring Photography Session in Cypress, TX

Good morning!

As a photographer, my favorite season is spring. Here in Cypress we don't have a large array of seasons; we seem to just have "hot and humid" and "more-hot-and-more-humid", however, this spring has been somewhat mild. I took advantage of the gorgeous weather to photograph Ashley, a super cool mom, and her two little ones.

They trekked out to Cypress for their golden hour mommy and me session! I don't offer mini sessions very often, but I *did* open up three spots, and was thrilled to work with this cute bunch! The session was about 15 minutes long, but we still had a lot of fun in the short time. 

Thanks for coming out! I hope to work with y'all again. :-)

Home Lifestyle Session | The M Family | Cypress family photographer

Good morning, folks!

I recently announced via the blog (www.sarahborchgrevinkphotography.com) that I am proud to be offering lifestyle and documentary style sessions. As explained in my last blog post, these sessions are all about embracing the spirit of your family and celebrating you simply by being you! These photos are based around emotion, connections, and family bonds. Moreover, as a photographer, my job is to hang out in the background, and capture you doing normal things your family may do on a typical day.

I’m excited to present the “M” family to y’all! They are my first in home and lifestyle family session. They’re a cute bunch out of Cypress, and were a blast to photograph! My favorite part of the session is how laid back the entire family is; I was there for about an hour, and I wanted the session to not feel rushed or stressed, but instead like they were just hanging out with me. Because it’s important for me to not intrude, I started by meeting the little ones, seeing their toys, and asking them to show me the sort of games they like to play together. The kiddos had me smiling the entire time as, like typical siblings, they played sweetly together and also patiently waited their turn to show me all their neat toys!

After this set up, I had Mom spend one on one time with each child, perhaps just holding or hugging her precious little. I mirrored a similar dynamic with Dad, too. A little later on, everyone had a dance party in the living room (so fun!), and then the kiddos took horsey rides on dad’s back. We finished up with hugs and snuggles and playing in the kiddos play room.

My favorite aspect of a home lifestyle session is how the family is surrounded by all of their own things; it’s your environment, it’s the place you’re raising your kiddos. It’s very special. I truly believe this adds a fun dynamic to the session and makes it so much more personable. 

Sometimes, when you’re in the midst of parenting, you may not realize the smallest of moments are one you’ll cherish or fondly remember. Often, life is moving so fast. And that’s why I adore lifestyle sessions and am now offering them. Candid and more documentary photographs are the ones I most love of my own children and this is where I feel I am offering a genuine, pure, and fresh product.

I cannot thank the beautiful M family enough! Thank for you for having me in your home! I hope you cherish these photos for years to come!

Keeping Things Sweet | Ivy's Cake Smash & One Year Session | Cypress Child Photographer

If you follow my blog, you may know I specialize in photographing babies, children, and families. However, I must concede my favorite subjects are always infants or toddlers. They’re sweet, inquisitive, and adorable. I enjoy planning their sessions, scouting locations, and the best part is photographing cuties like Miss Ivy!

I first “met” Ivy when I photographed her in her mama’s tummy. I was honored to document her newborn session, and here she is at one year old! Time flies. But it’s been a great year!

Ivy is a spunky little one with beautiful blue eyes and blonde hair. She is also full of joy and loves the camera! Perhaps my favorite aspect of photographing children is capturing eye contact and catching all their quirks from sweet smiles, mischievous grins, curious pouts, or perhaps clapping their hands.

 For Ivy’s one year session, Mom and I chose one of my favorite fields in Cypress, Texas. It’s located in the Northwest part of Houston where I reside so it’s a great spot for Tomball, Cypress or even Katy clients. It also has wonderful evening light – so warm and yummy! It’s important to me that each session, whether morning or evening, have the perfect natural light. I also like the sun to act as a guide and to light the session from behind.

Moreover, Mom and I had a wonderful time during this session! We did a few posed, formal family photos (which I will preview towards the end of this blog post). We also photographed Ivy with her older sister, Zoe for sibling shots. Finally, we finished with a cake smash! These are the best to photograph. I love when the little one realizes the cake is all for him or her…and that they get to eat it all! Ivy wasted no time digging into her cake!

Many thanks to the L family for having me photography Ivy’s one year session. It’s always a pleasure seeing you. I’m looking forward to attending Ivy’s birthday party and helping to celebrate her first year!
