Outdoor Family First Birthday Session Cake Smash in Houston

The M Family's Natural Light & Outdoor Family Cake Smash Combination in honor of Baby Boy Jeremy turning the big one.

Here's what Jeremy's parents had to say about their baby plan membership to Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

Sarah is absolutely fantastic. Not only are her pictures superb, but her professionalism, personality, and all around demeanor are top notch. We are baby plan clients and at our of  sessions Sarah has been very easy to work with and has taken our specific likes and wants and incorporated them into our sessions. The best part by far is her turn around time. At our sessions we received our online gallery within a week of our session! I highly recommend Sarah for newborn and family photography!

Friends, good morning! I am excited to blog this incredibly adorable children's session in which we did a family + birthday photo shoot for one of my longtime clients. The M family first contacted me while Mom was pregnant; they booked a baby plan membership, which is a wonderful way to preserve the first year of life for your precious little one.

The Baby Plan Membership is any of the following combination:

  • In studio posed newborn session (wrapped mini, petite or full collection) of your choice
  • Any combination of 3, 6, 9 or 12 month milestone session

In this case, this sweet couple chose to do a full newborn collection as well as 6 and 12 month session. This is the most popular combination since many parents see the most difference in growth between newborn and 6 months; followed by 6 and 12 month differences. Here are some of my favorite images from our sunrise session.

Family Photos Take Place First 

Family sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning I embrace the spirit of your family. I encourage you to play with your kiddo, interact with your spouse and feel at ease. Family photos take place at the beginning so that little one has time to warm up to me. Plus, baby will be smashing a cake after the family part so this makes sure baby is clean for your family images, ha!

Individual Photos of Baby Are after family

The milestone portion of your child's session follows the family set ups. Milestone portion is where we focus on developmental changes since our last session together. For 12 months, it's usually standing or walking, pulling up, clapping their hands, smiling, and really showcasing their personality.

Let Them Eat Cake

After baby's individual portion of milestone images, we then focus on the cake smash aspect of your session. I provide timeless and vintage inspired props for this session, but also ensure baby is the focus of our time together, too. I do not like distracting aspects in the images so props are kept to a minimum so baby will be the shining star. Examples of props I may bring as things like an antique high chair, quilt, crate, etc. Due to allergy purposes, I have parents bring the cake. You may go as festive or minimalist as you like. :-) Outdoor cake smash or first birthday sessions always take place right around sunrise or sunset, too, for optimal lighting. You're given a location list to pick from so have no worries: I have lots of good options for you!

It's all in the details

An important aspect to me is the details of your session. I love showing off their little toes, messy hands, sweet up close shots of their faces, etc. While we do include many images of baby playing, exploring and checking out the cake, I adore showing all those precious moments Mamas are sure to love. Their little fingers, for instance, reaching for the cake is absolutely precious as can be! They're only little for a short time. Let them be small. This cake smash encourages them to be who they are and their personalities to shine through.

This glowing mother to be is simply ethereal! About a year ago, she contacted me to book a portrait membership to my professional photography services. At the time, she was not even pregnant, though she told me her and the hubby were trying for a baby and she wanted to gather all information about my custom photography so that when the time came they could plan for investment. This is completely humbling because while I do run a full time business that feeds my family, I'm a mom, and when I'm not shooting, I'm all about family and being with my own husband and kiddos. Basically, I'm just in the suburbs trying to keep it real, haha! This in mind, when a client books before she's even pregnant, it makes me realize exactly how special these sessions are because they preserve the meaningful. 

The membership to Sarah Borchgrevink Photography includes either a studio or outdoor maternity session, a posed newborn session, a sitter or 6 month session and of course a 12 month session. The payments are made in installments. You receive fantastic products such as an heirloom signature album though you always have some nifty digital files so you may share on Facebook or with loved ones. 

For our time together, we used a gorgeous location in Cypress TX. It's very popular and not at all a hidden gem, though many parents request the waterfall for maternity portraits. All of my sessions that are outdoors begin as the sun is setting. This ensures optimal light and fantastic photos! I also help you with outfits and can refer you to an amazing hair and make up artist who is just around the corner. :-) And of course, I lead the entire session, guiding you to ensure you're posed perfectly and we showcase the treasured bonds and connections between an expecting couple.

This couple is clearly in love! The entire time they kept me laughing, smiling, and were a true joy to spend the evening with! They are carefree and will be wonderful parents to their baby girl. She's arriving in May, so I am looking forward to meeting her!
