Posed Newborn Session Information | What's Included When Booking with Sarah

Posed Newborn Photography Session Information

Welcome to the blog! This post is an informative piece sharing an overview of what’s included in an appointment when booking your little one’s first professional images! I am honored you’ve stopped by and hope you find these details helpful. Let’s get started.

Fully Inclusive Packages & Pricing

As a full time business owner, and Mom to four young children, being transparent and making things easy for parents is the heart of my business. At SBP, packages are one flat rate for the entire session. This includes session design, props, time and talent as well as allotted coverage, retouching, proofing, the preparation of your final gallery, and a stunning full resolution digital gallery of non-watermarked images you may print as many times as you like. A list of three free cloud storage recommendations and consumer grade labs are also given so you’re sure to know how to safely archive your photos. Feel free to also check out newborn package & pricing for Houston baby photography.

Two Week Turnaround Time for Proofing

  • There are no in person sales appointments, separate session fees, or minimum print orders to receive your digital files. Instead, you have a proofing gallery you view from the comfort of your home, couch, or even with family members. You’ll select your favorite images and have the option to add more images if you’d like though there is no obligation to do so. If you would like professional prints and heirloom products these are available through your gallery, though just like upgrading to additional digital files there is no obligation to do so. Soft proofing is my method of choice for previewing images and what many clients relay they prefer.

Everything is provided

Everything for your sweet cherub is provided. This includes hundreds and hundreds of props such as gorgeous bonnets, headbands, dainty outfits, backdrops, buckets, bowls, baskets, wraps, and more! Simply bring your little one’s diaper bag and leave the rest to me. A styling questionnaire ensures your favorite colors make an appearance, though everything will be cohesive and match the vintage-inspired, dreamy, rustic, and timeless brand of Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. Your gallery will stand the test of time and be amazing even 30 years from now.

Please look through my Houston Newborn Photography Galleries to ensure we’re a good fit for one another! It is best you select someone who props and poses make your heart swoon. Your baby will only be brand new for a few weeks and you generally have one chance to have these images.

Classic, Timeless, and Natural Baby Photography

SBP is a traditional posed newborn photographer (Ranked Best Houston Newborn Photographers 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) and is known for simple, natural, and vintage-inspired baby portraits with non-distracting props and themes to artfully preserve Baby as a brand new bundle of joy. Cozy wrapping, bean bag posing, and stunning macro images are the heart of the styling. If you are a fan of simplistic, stylish, and classic session designs than I’m the photographer or you. Parent, family, and sibling images are also available.

Booking

To book your appointment with Sarah, it is best to do so in advance. There are a limited amount of appointments per month to ensure every client has availability for their session. By signing your contract & fulfilling your contract, preferably in the second or third trimester, you have access and priority to the scheduling & booking calendar first.

To get this process started you’re welcome to visit the online booking page and follow the step by step instructions.

Once your baby is born, you will pick your session date & time as soon as possible. I like you to visit in the first 14 days if possible with 5-9 days being my absolute favorite sessions. Earlier is best. New babies are best photographed as they move less, sleep better, are more curly, have less baby acne, etc. Top newborn safety soothing techniques are used throughout the entire session.

Feel free to also ask questions or inquire via the contact tab, too, and we can schedule a phone, e-mail, or in person consultation. You’re also welcome to see a full gallery of any session type you’re interested in as it is important to ensure you like the style of photography I implement during my sessions.

Moreover, once your Baby is born you will receive a posed newborn prep guide telling you everything that will happen before, during, and after your session. This prep guide also covers what type of outfits to wear to your appointment should you choose to participate in your baby’s professional portraits.

Where is the studio located?

As of June 2019, Sarah is located in Uptown, inside the 610 loop, in order to be central to all parts of Houston. The address is 4550 Post Oak Place, Suite 203, Houston TX, 77027.

If you think we might be a good fit for one another I would love to chat with you!

Is there anything sweeter in the world than a baby? There is something so special about working with a brand new infant. Hopes, dreams, and all the exciting things to come surround the session. Few things, however, are more joyful than a darling infant who has a huge smile on their face! You’re never sure when it will happen and it’s often very fast, but here and there it occurs and it’s simply amazing! When photographing a newborn, it feels like I won the lottery when we capture Baby’s smile! Not only is this heartwarming, but also makes the parents so happy to know we have caught something super rare!

Miniature Newborn Bed Props

Of all the vintage-inspired floor props in my Houston Newborn Baby Studio (believe me: there’s over 100, ha!), mini beds are basically my favorite props ever! I have several on hand that are wire, wooden, cream, brown, natural, etc. There are many amazing options, too! Part of being one of the best Houston baby photographers is providing unique, timeless, and breathtaking options for new parents. Floor props, for instance, are a great way to share your creativity. Textiles, texture, hats, bonnets, layers, wrapping, I could go on and on! Floor prop sessions are also the most popular with parents because they are the timeless and sweet images that you’ll treasure forever.

Wooden Bowls & Rustic Flooring

When it comes to a newborn studio, every baby photographer needs an amazing rustic bowl. The perfect bowl can be used for both girl or boy babies; it can be styled to be masculine or feminine. The bowl should gently cradle the earthside cherub and be the perfect vessel for showcasing an adorable little one! This bowl is one of my favorites and I often pull it for many different session types.

Woven Basket for texture

Baskets are also a cornerstone to newborn photography prop stashes because they provide much needed texture. When you have a new baby, the baby is brand new and so sweet; the baskets are needed to add contrast. They can be styled in many different ways and also are versatile!

There are many vendors that provide awesome baskets, but sometimes I luck out and find one in the states that’s available for immediate shipping.

Baskets look best with a wrapped baby and they’re nestled so sweetly!

Babies in buckets | oh my

newborn bucket props

Of all the setups during a posed newborn session, the bucket set up is always a favorite of mine! I have a huge variety of them from wooden to wire; pastel to bold; neutral to muted; textured to smooth. This gives endless creativity and also many options depending on the size of the baby. After all, a 5 pound baby will need a different bucket or pail than a 10 pound little one.

Flokati rugs

Ahhhh, flokati rugs - the ultimate texture in newborn images! I love love love love these and adore using them in many parts of the session. However, this cream one is such a treat because it’s so fluffy, ha! In fact, my husband teases me because I buy dog brushes to brush the flokati rugs so they stay nice and full. I can’t help it; I love all of my props and like to take care of them!
