Kate’s Vintage & Organic Cake Smash | Cypress TX Child Portraits

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers an organic and vintage inspired baby plan membership to newborn clients. Kate's simple cake smash is a fun way to celebrate turning one.

Here's what Kate's Mama Had to say about her portraiture experience with Sarah:

“Sarah truly loves her work and it shines through the photos she takes and extends through to her customer service. I found her on Facebook four months before my daughter was born and she allowed me to come out and meet her in person and discuss the colors and props for my baby’s newborn photo shoot. The day of the shoot she worked her magic and hit the mark for what I had envisioned. It has been a year since the newborn shoot and we just completed the one year photos, they are gorgeous!”

Howdy, friends! Happy Friday, or Fri-yay, as we like to call it in my house, ha! I hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoying the cooler weather we're having. Well, at least for Houston. Today's blog post is going to share a little bit of information about my popular baby plan membership. I'll also showcase some exciting details about the styling behind cake smash and children's one year birthday sessions.

To begin, cake smash or baby milestone sessions are available to newborn clients only. Because I specialize in Houston Newborn Photography, these sessions are really fun for returning clients and a membership to my portraiture services is a wonderful way to document the first year of life since it's a consistent style, editing, wall art, and also someone who has developed a relationship with your kiddo. The membership is very flexible. Parents have the option of doing 3, 6, 9 or 12 months; they may also do any combination of the milestone. The most popular, nonetheless, is 6 and 12 months since this is when most of the changes occur.

Since my newborn style is timeless, fresh, simple and vintage inspired so are my  child milestone sessions. Gone are distracting props; instead, I focus on a few classic pieces so baby is the star. My studio is all white and looks classic. I have a bed, couch, and some cute items like a antique high chair and rocking horse for little ones to use. I also have a plethora of adorable headbands and accessories for your kiddos. Wardrobe is not included but I have a great list of vendors for you to consider. :-) 

Here are some of my favorite images from my time with baby girl Kate. I hope you enjoy viewing and perhaps are interested in your own baby plan. :-) Have a great weekend, y'all!

Fresh, Gorgeous Neutral Baby Boy Session | Meet Jakob

Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, serves the Greater Houston Area including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe and Magnolia Texas. Welcome Baby Boy Jakob - 7 days fresh and new.

Greetings, friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you're having an awesome day and up to something fun with your family. Today I am at my desk working on business tasks, but I am also excited because a sweet baby girl is coming to my studio in a few hours. For now, however, I'm going to show off this absolutely precious little boy who visited recently. His name is Jakob. At 7 days old, he visited my all white, organic Houston Newborn Photography studio and slept wonderfully for me. He weighed around 7 pounds and loved the cozy wrapping. Here are some of my favorite images of his session.

Jakob's parents were sweet as can be. They chose to not do family images and focus on baby. They selected me petite collection, which offers a wonderful array of images from super cute wrapped portraits, floor props, naked bean bag posing and of course the fantastic macro images that truly capture the unique aspects of your new baby.

Mom relayed she really is a fan of neutrals, however, is not opposed to perhaps a bit of color such as navy blue. They came from The Woodlands, which is just north of Houston, and I made sure their entire session was set up so we could begin on time. 

During their baby session, the little ones love to be wrapped! Parents always marvel at how easily they fall asleep. Moreover, this keeps baby sleep so we can utilize many props and set ups. For example, this enables me to use two floors props. Examples of floor prop choices are buckets, bowls, baskets, crates, boxes, all of which are antique and vintage inspired to reflect my personal tastes. I must note: always research your newborn photographer's portfolio to ensure you're a good fit. :-) I do a lot of color but am not opposed to a neutral session here and there, such as this one. 

Baby Boy has gorgeous skin! He is simply glowing and is the picture of health. His full head of hair, cup lips, button nose, chubby cheeks and sweet smile simply made my heart soar. He also was very curly and fun to pose; I truly like for baby to look as timeless and simple as possible. While newborn photography truly is a custom art, it should look effortless in the final images, despite it being anything but easy. I am formally trained and have taken many workshops on safety, lighting, posing, flow, wrapping and post processing of your images. This is why I take your investment very seriously.

Ahhhh! That sweet, sleepy yawn! These are always favorites of mine since images such as this truly show off the baby and their personality. 

The rest of this handsome fellow's petite posed newborn collection featured naked posing. Here are my favorite images. :-) I hope you enjoy!

Romantic Couples Houston Maternity Session

Gorgeous sunset pregnancy photography session featuring the stunning waterfall location.

Howdy, friends! Good afternoon to you. I'm excited you're here and visiting my blog. Today is the fourth of July, which is a wonderful day in our fantastic country. However, my three little girls are all napping so I am at my desk catching up on a little bit of work such as the behind the scenes blogging. If you follow my portraiture work, you may know I specialize in newborn photography, however, I am taking a handful of maternity, family or child sessions here and there. These are available during limited times throughout the year.

Today's natural light, on location maternity session showcases an expecting couple in Houston. When they first came to my studio for their consult, I instantly knew they're a perfect fit. Meeting them, hearing about their sweet family and documenting their pregnancy is a complete joy! We opted for a sunset session at one of my favorite locations in NW Houston. :-) 

Anyway, baby is due in August and she'll be coming in for a full newborn session! Here are some of my favorite images from my time with this gorgeous couple. I hope you enjoy!
