Updated Due Date Placeholder | Accepting 2020 Arrivals

Specializing in studio infant, baby, and newborn portraits, Sarah Borchgrevnk is joyfully accepting 2020 due dates! See more information below.

Hi, gang! Welcome! As 2019 winds down, the studio is gearing up for a great upcoming year! We are thrilled to share we’re accepting due date placeholders for 2020. A due date placeholder is a beautiful way to commission our studio as your baby’s portrait artist. A due date placeholder means your estimated due date is added to our calendar. This lets us know how many babies to expect each month so we may plan accordingly.

Newborn sessions occur in the first 14 days of life, preferably when your Little One is 5-9 days old. This timeframe is the optimal time when new infants are curly, sleepy, flexible, moldable, and able to be posed in those oh-so-darling images you see via our Houston Newborn Photography Portfolio page. Adding your due date to the calendar gives you instant access to the scheduling options once your baby is born. You are most likely to have your preferred date and time not to miss the fleeting newborn window. The weekend dates are also highly sought after, o keep this in mind, too!

The best time to add your due date to our calendar is when you’re either in the second or third trimester. Your due date is simply an estimation for when the Baby is expected to arrive. Some little ones are early, late, and even right on time. No matter when your cherub is earthside, you already have access to the calendar.

  • Package pricing is upfront and eareadilyvailable to you to make things simple for new parents! The studio's focus is selling full-resolution digital files, along with a print release. There are no in-person sales appointments, minimum print orders, or separate session fees. One rate pays for your entire session from start to finish. However, professional prints and products are available for purchase as a perk to parents seeking the highest quality.

  • 14Fourteenays after your session, you receive a private online proofing gallery showcasing the best images from our time together! Parents select the number of portraits that come in the chosen package. At that time, those selections are fully and professionally edited. They’re polished up and ready for you to print, share online, and treasure forever!

  • The chosen images are delivered three days later via instant digital download. A print release is also included. You may print your photos as many times or large as you would like forever.

  • Sessions are available seven days per week in the studio between 6 a.m. - 6 p.m., M-F, and 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The standard turnaround for proofing galleries is 14 days, year-round.

  • Motherhood wardrobe is included for all sessions.

Other helpful details:

  • The studio is fully vaccinated and insured to provide newborn safety for our most petite clients, such as Tdap, MMR, and the yearly flu vaccine.

  • Sarah Borchgrevink Photography is centrally located in the Uptown/River Oaks area of Houston.

New Addition to the Pricing Guide: Studio Lifestyle Sessions for Families & Babies

Located in Uptown inside the 610 Loop, Sarah Borchgrevink’s New Studio Features an All White, Organic Lifestyle Room.

all white portrait studio in Houston

Good morning, friends! Today’s blog post is all about what’s new at my Houston Newborn Baby, Maternity, and Family Portrait Studio! As of June 3rd, I am officially moved in and excited to be working in a brand new, amazing space! If this is your first time seeing this post the new studio is located in Uptown off San Felipe. The 1,300 square-foot commercial space is everything I could ever want and caters to posed newborn photography, maternity and pregnancy portraits, and also family photography. As always, baby milestone sessions will still be offered.

Minimalist and simple lifestyle portraiture

As of June 2019 there is now the option to select a lifestyle family session when visiting with your newborn. Over the last year I have moved to a soft proofing method of clients selecting their images. This means an online proofing gallery is prepared featuring all the amazing images from our time together and then parents select their photos. Through this process, I have learned sometimes parents are gravitating towards the family, sibling, and parent images. They are leaving behind several setups such as naked bean bag posing, baby in a bucket and other floor props, and macro images. This has shown me that sometimes parents prefer a clean, natural, and minimalist approach by removing props, posing, and the accessories such as the hats and bonnets as well as all of the dainty tiebacks and headbands you’ll find in studio.

What is lifestyle newborn photography?

Lifestyle newborn photography is a laid back and more casual, natural approach to infant photos. For instance, we utilize the big white, cozy bed you’ll find in studio and also organic wraps and textiles, generally in the more neutral color schemes. There are minimal props and posing, though instead the images are soft, natural, and clean in which Baby is photographed just as they are. There is much less prep and setups, so this type of photography is designed for parents who do not like those perfectly squishy, posed images.

Both posed and lifestyle offer beautiful options and breathtaking results though now that I have a studio catering to both styles, I am happy to showcase both to be inclusive, versus exclusive, to what parents are seeking in Houston.

After all, the Greater Houston Area has millions of parents, all of which deserve to have the style of images that make their heart sing.

When do these sessions take place?

When is the ideal time to book?

The ideal time to book a session, newborn or otherwise, with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography is generally in your second trimester, though some parents do not book until Baby is born because they may not know how early it is recommended to book. Sessions do take place 6 days per week, however, so last minutes bookings can sometimes be added to the calendar.

How to Book your appointment:

Booking your appointment with Sarah is very simple. Visit the booking page and add your due date to the calendar if you’re still pregnant. If Baby is already born, however, just select a date and time from the available options that fits your schedule.

You will either choose a “simple” studio family session or a “classic” studio family session.
