Outdoor & Natural Light Cake Smash | County Fair Theme

Howdy, friends! Welcome to my blog! Today's post focuses on adorable children's cake smash session as well as the family portion of his one year photography session. As a photographer, I do specialize in newborn portraits, however, I offer a limited number of outdoor, natural light family photography appointments as well as darling children's portraits for your little ones, too. :-) Today's post is all about a super sweet family! We used one of my favorite locations in Cypress, but the parents were total rock stars and came from Pearland. The good thing about Houston is that we have many major highways so traveling is generally pretty easy. 

For this cake smash + family session combination, Mom told me baby's birthday party theme is a county fair so she wanted to incorporate that into his cake smash. I am a prop minimalist so that baby may be the focus; we used a vintage high chair, a cute set of balloons and then a sign Mom brought. The star of the smash is Baby but a cute cherry pie is what we used to smash. So cute! Simple, easy details. Moms: don't make things harder than they need to be. This is something I cannot stress enough.

Here are my favorite images of our time together!

Outdoor Family Photography | Sweet Baby Boy & His Doting Parents

This portion of the session was a lot of fun for me to document because family connections are everything. As a mama, I can tell you how special it is to have images of your entire family interacting. I like my family portrait sessions to be lifestyle in nature meaning you cuddle, kiss, toss baby into the air. Everything should feel warm and natural. Be who you are. Enjoy being with your spouse and children. This time is sacred and these sweet memories will be truly wonderful to look back on and admire! My sessions take place specifically at sunrise or sunset; in this case, we shot at sunset since the location faces east. The stunning, golden light adds much warmth to the images and emphasises love. Truly my favorite time of the day!

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!

Welcome to the world, sweet Chevelle! Perhaps one of my favorite aspects of being a Houston Newborn Photographer is the design of your custom newborn portraits. For instance, when booking a photography session, the images are designed with your color preferences in mind. I often pull inspiration from the colors in your home and nursery themes. It is important to me you adore the collection and I pride myself on offering a plethora of designs, colors, textures, textiles and of course custom made bonnets, headbands, etc. For my time with this beautiful baby girl, Mama expressed she adores pink, cream, gold and even a little mint here and there.
