The Woodlands & North Houston Custom Newborn Photography by Sarah Borchgrevink
“One of the most ephemeral and precious slices of time is the newborn time period: those first days when you welcome a new baby into your life...while battling sleep deprivation and spending all of your minutes trying to memorize this new amazing being. You need a way to capture that - and as a new parent it is daunting to imagine setting up a photo shoot yourself in those special early days. This is precisely why you need a gifted photographer (a mama herself!) like Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. Sarah comes to you (a godsend to new parents) - she brings fabulous set-ups, props, styling tools and wearable beautiful accessories for baby. She helps new parents talk through color schemes and preferences, and she shoots gorgeous memories drenched in natural light - all while sweetly, patiently positioning your baby expertly. And then she captures the new family all together, unforgettable moments. The results are warm, cozy, adorable and they preserve a very magical moment in time. We couldn’t have loved our time with Sarah more...those hours spent together produced gorgeous memories. Thank you, Sarah - you are tremendous and we count ourselves lucky to work with you!”
Ah, precious little newborns. They're earth angels! They are also my favorite subjects to document and I've really enjoyed learning to photograph them. I've been taking newborn sessions for the last year and there's a few things I've learned: (1) Custom newborn photography is an art, and (2) Being on-location really benefits my clients.
For example, custom newborn photography is special because each session is designed with your preferences in mind. Fabrics, wraps, antique props, bonnets, ect - all of these are different for each newborn session. I order beautiful, organic items that are often hand made. These adorn your sweet cherub babes. I also love to visit home decor or antique shops so I may find unique items to style your baby. Wooden buckets, scales, crates, tea trays, hat boxes, ect - these are lovely and can be styled to reflect your tastes.
Moreover, the professional studio is brought to clients. This includes everything you need for your newborn session. I provide a laid back experience for Mom, Dad and Baby. Everything is brought to you from several custom set ups, to the assistant who provides safety and support, to lighting and anything your baby will need for the session. I don't want you to worry about a thing - think of me as your baby sitter. I delight in photographing your beautiful little ones. The sessions are typically 3 to 4 hours long to ensure safety, plenty of time for soothing and of course time to for you to relax. When I arrive at a client's home, I encourage you to have a snack, take a hot shower, perhaps take a nap if you so wish. As a mama, I know how hectic the first few weeks can be and while the dust eventually does settle, a few moments to yourself can be lovely.
This morning, I am previewing one of my latest on location newborn sessions. Baby L is sweet as can be! He is 8 days old here and around 7 pounds of squishy newborn love. I hope you enjoy!
Thank you for viewing Baby L! If you are currently expecting, I would love to design a session just for you.
