Ethereal Sunrise Family Session at Hermann Park | Happy Birthday Sweet Boy

Gorgeous outdoor family and first birthday portraits | Houston TX Photographer

Greetings, friends! Happy Friday to you! This is one of my favorite days of the week because I am always gearing up for an exciting weekend; whether it be hanging out with my three little girls, photographing gorgeous babies in studio, or out exploring Houston with family or friends, the weekend always holds much promise. I hope the same is for you! If you've found yourself on my blog, you may be on the hunt for family, child or baby portraiture. You're in luck! My name is Sarah and I adore all three of these genres. I should note, however, at this time, my 2017 calendar is super full for family/children, but I am always taking newborns.

Speaking of squishy cherub babies: this sweet family has been with me since the very beginning of baby's life. I've had the honor of working with them several times and cannot express how lovely they are. Super genuine, laid back, and awesome people. I'm truly blessed to call them clients! 

The first time I met them, they welcomed me into their charming home for an in home lifestyle newborn session. I saw them again for fall family portraiture, 6 month images, and now baby boy is turning the big one! We met at Hermann Park, inside the 610 loop, for a sunrise family session.

As you can see, Mom is radiant and Dad looks super dapper. They're an adorable couple; of course, their precious family looks fantastic with Baby J on their hip. There's something so endearing about a family as they run and play and hold their kiddo in the morning light. This light, you see, looks best at around 6:30 AM, and while it IS early, it makes for fantastic portraiture. 

The following images are some of my favorites from their collection. Thanks for stopping by and viewing! I hope you enjoy seeing them, too, and have a great weekend! Wishing you all my joy and warmth.

Sweet & Simple Neutral Inspired Photos | Houston TX

Sweet, classic and simplistic newborn portraits by Houston TX Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink.

Here's what J's mama had to say about her newborn experience:

Sarah did an amazing job photographing our sweet little boy! She listened to what I had in mind and implemented it beautifully; I couldn't be happier with the final product!! I highly recommend you to consider Sarah to capture your newborn photo session, she will not disappoint.

Greetings and good morning to you! I'm thrilled you're here at my blog. Please allow me to introduce a charming baby boy who recently visited my studio. J came to see me when he was around 9 days old. He slept beautifully for me and I could not help but be in awe of how precious his sweet little face is. When booking, his mama requested I style the session so it is timeless, classic, simple and sweet. This in mind, I kept the color scheme very neutral and pulled inspiration from all things soft and organic, such as white, cream and a little bit of grey. I even added a muted baby blue and very light brown with tan textures in order to add a tiny bit of pop to the portraits. 

During my time with J, he loved to be wrapped. This makes baby feel safe, secure and helps them sleep during the posing. My studio is also kept at 77 degrees or so. This mimicks the environbemnt of the womb. A full belly, lots of white noise and a warm room are the key to an adorable newborn session.

Those little toes, fingers and his nose - so small yet perfect.

Don't you think the blue looks lovely on him? This hand knitted bonnet is made by one of my favorite vendors in Italy. She has precious creations that are perfect for your sessions. I adore using her props and designs.

And of course, here are my favorite family images. All collections do include family, parent and sibling images if you'd like to do so. J is the first little one so sibling was not applicable though we did focus on images of dad with baby, mom with baby, and of course this beautiful couple together. While getting in front of the camera may feel a little intimidating, please know I am here to guide you with outfit advice, plenty of positive praise during our posing and of course I make sure you feel comfortable being we begin the photo process.

Haleigh at 6 Months | Lifestyle Session in Jungle Themed Nursery

Family, Baby and Child Photographer in Houston TX | In Home Lifestyle Photography by Sarah Borchgrevink 

"Because I could watch you a single minute and find a thousand things that I love about you."

Greetings and good morning to you! Welcome to my blog! As a Houston TX Portrait Photographer, I offer a variety of session types such as family, baby, child and newborn. However, I also enjoy coming to your home! For instance, for the lovely family featured today, we chose to do an in home session focusing on their nursery. You see, they are baby plan clients of mine which means they have a membership to my photography services; I photographed their outdoor, natural light maternity session, posed newborn session and today's post shows a few set ups from their in home, lifestyle session for 6 months! I'll also be seeing them again for a 12 month milestone portrait session so that will be a blast.

When photographing a client in their home, I find a room with nice light. The nursery is always a beautiful option because it's the perfect little nest to show your baby's milestones such as standing, crawling, pulling up, rolling, and all their adorable little details such as chubby hands, precious little cheeks, sparking eyes, and their endearing personalities. Little ones are absolutely a joy to document. Seeing them laugh, smile, and interact with the camera is truly rewarding because, as a portraiture artist, I am preserving this incredibly special time in your life. You're not taking these photos for yourself: they're for your children. They see, from the very beginning, all the important aspect of their life. It's a way to honor these milestones.

Dixon, their boxer and beloved pet, also participated in the session! He was also there during our maternity & newborn portion so it's only natural he be included. Pets are certainly part of the family so I always look forward to seeing them again. I distinctly remember how he was super protective of baby when I did their newborn session and even during the 6 month session he tentatively watched me, never leaving my side. He is her best friend!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope you visit again. If you're curious about perhaps booking your own session, feel free to check out all the details below. Have a wonderful Tuesday!
