Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers a stylish full newborn collection showcasing all things classic, simple and timeless about a brand new baby.

Baby Boy Tate | 10 Pounds of Squishy Newborn Goodness

Hi, friends! I'm glad to see you've stopped by my blog! If you're here, you may be interested in seeing a session preview of a super cute and chunky newborn lad! You're in luck. I had the honor of documenting Tate's full newborn session recently, and he was simply marvelous. In fact, I adore his family because they've done several sessions with me from outdoor maternity portraiture, natural light fall family photos, milestone sessions for a baby plan membership and a newborn session with their first kiddo. Seeing them again for their second kiddo was an absolute dream! I'm excited to share my favorite images from my time with Tate.

When designing your posed newborn sessions, I am often inspired by classic pieces and an array of colored textiles. While I do offer neutrals for the parents who love all things muted, I really enjoy using color and texture. This is a cornerstone to my newborn portraiture work, so if you're a fan of color, this session is just for you! Here you'll find grey, red, turquoise and navy blue for my time with this precious baby boy.

Tate was a great sleeper! At 10 pounds, he has cheeks for days. He visited just at the 2 week mark, which is my preference for new babies. Sometimes parents are a little nervous how the session will go: have no fear. When booking, you're given a very detailed newborn prep guide so you know what to expect. I do not want you to be nervous. Just bring baby and their diaper bag essentials and leave the rest to me. It's important to me you have a great experience!

His little macro lip details are simply divine! Macro images, which are up close, sweet details of your baby's characteristics come with every newborn collection I offer.

For his floor props, I used vintage pieces such as this rustic blue crate, shown above, and then an old, antique bucket. The more classic and item is, the more timeless the photos will be. Paired with a super sweet bonnet, your baby's chubby cheeks and sweet little face will be the highlight of this image. The styling is super important because we do not want any of the props to detract from baby; baby should always be the star. You spent 9 months growing your darling little love, dreaming of them in your arms, so the newborn gallery must evoke a sense of tender, unconditional love when you see the final copies.

After the first two floor props, we used an adorable antique cradle I found at a shop. It's one of my favorite floor props! It looks lovely with baby girls or boys and is perfectly timeless. This vibrant red backdrop made the perfect cushion for his sweet little head. I wrapped him in one of my favorite wrapping styles called "tootsie" so his adorable little feet poke out - so precious! He is such a peaceful, serene baby. I loved my time with him.

Following all of the floor props and flokati rug poses, which were showcased above, we did the naked bean bag posing portion of his full newborn collection. Here I pull stunning textiles that are classic, soulful and use my studio lights to ensure the light perfectly encompasses baby's face. The highlights, contours, and skin tones must be perfect so that every feature is defined. I personally like moody light and for the shadows to be on baby's outer face, but the triangle of light to be on their cheek. The royal navy blue and deep turquoise are amazing on him! His skin looks flawless and I cannot stress how much soul color adds to your newborn gallery.

I'd love to have your sweet newborn on my calendar. Here are more details.

Colorful & Vibrant Tones during a 7 Day Old Newborn Baby Boy Portraiture Session in Houston Texas

Welcome Handsome Little One | Laksh at 7 Days Old

Greetings to you! Welcome to my blog! My name is Sarah and I'd love to welcome you. First and foremost: thank you for stopping by! I am a Houston Newborn Photographer specializing in all things squishy baby portraits. I delight in designing vibrant, soulful an vintage inspired sessions to preserve this incredibly special time in your life. Through the use of dynamic lighting and impeccable retouching, I present you with the most lovely gallery of images. You're sure to treasure these for a lifetime!

To begin, today's blog post focuses on a little boy who visited my studio at just 6 days new! He weighed just under 7 pounds and had a stunning head full of hair. He slept wonderfully for our time together and we had a great time. His parents chose the petite newborn collection, which is my middle collection; it has a little bit of everything from sweet parent posing, antique floor props, and even some curly, oh so darling posing.

I pride myself on offering a great experience, too! My newborn studio is conveniently located in Northwest Houston with easy access to all major freeways and toll roads. I am about 20 minutes outside the 610 loop, half an hour from The Woodlands and North Houston, or half an hour from areas like Bellaire, too.

Here are some of my favorite images from my time with this handsome little one. Keep reading for more details, images, or if you're curious about booking your own newborn session, I am happy to assist you.

The "froggy pose" for bean bag

The froggy pose for bean bag is a favorite among parents. It is, however, done as a composite to ensure newborn safety. I have taken several workshops on how to carefully pose brand new babies. I also like to do two different angles if possible. This adorable, custom bonnet is from one of my favorite European vendors and then the super soft, darling sage wrap is from a great gal here in the states.
