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!

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.

my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling) - E.E. Cummings

Greetings! Good evening to you! I'm excited you're here on my nifty little blog. If it's your first time here – welcome! If you’ve visited it before, hey you! I’m stoked you’re here. As you may (or may not) know I’m Sarah. I’m a Houston TX Photographer specializing in all things family portraiture and newborn babies. This means, in a nutshell, I have a succinct focus on the familial milestones in your life: this includes pregnancy portraiture for expecting couples and mothers to be, bringing home a new baby, or even child milestones sessions. I also offer a very popular maternity and newborn combination plan, which I’ll be previewing for you now.

You see: I believe parents deserve the best of both worlds. High resolution retouched files and the most exclusive and luxurious prints and products that are only available to professional photographers, such as myself. And by 'professional' I mean legal, insured, and running a legitimate tax paying business. : - )

When booking a maternity and newborn combination package with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, you receive your choice of either an outdoor sunrise or sunset portrait session and also a stunning newborn session. Newborn sessions take place in my absolutely breathtaking studio that’s all white and organic. However, for clients interested in an in home session, I do offer lifestyle newborn sessions so these are an option, too.

An in person consultation also takes place. This is the part where we go over the fine details of your contract, chat about newborn safety, and we also go over locations, outfits, hair and makeup ideas, and perhaps the type of products you’d like to see in your home. It’s customer service driven from beginning to end. I adore working with you and want you to have an awesome experience!

After each session, we schedule a fantastic ordering appointment. While you do receive impeccably retouched high resolution digital files, you also receive a plethora of boutique products. Trust me: the paper is amazing. You won’t want to give me back the samples, ha! Your products are immediately ordered, too, so they may grace your walls and act as a fine art piece in your home. Your photos belong for loved ones to see and enjoy.

This in mind, I am previewing a beautiful couple I had the honor of documenting. In general, I like to photograph your radiant baby bump at around 33 weeks; this ensures you’re comfortable but also have a stylish and ever so endearing bump to show off. After all, your bump is the star and your pregnancy portraits celebrate all things graceful, feminine and ethereal about your pregnancy. If you'd like to view their in home, lifestyle newborn session please do so or perhaps check out their posed newborn portraits featuring mauve, ivory and grey. 

Here's what the beautiful mama had to say about her experience with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

'Sarah is amazing to work with! She is incredibly professional and talented and is adamant that her clients receive the utmost best care start to finish. She listens to all your needs and adjusts all while making sure she maintains the highest possible photographic quality and products! Her patience is hard to come by and she doesn't settle for less than the best photos she can possibly take. She did maternity and newborn pictures for us and they are awesome but most of all; she is amazing with little bitty babies and keeping them happy during their session! We have the cutest pictures and can't wait to hang up the beautiful prints and canvas work she helped us select for the nursery! Can't wait to do more work with her in the future!" - Jessica
