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:

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

  • Sarah and Kevin are a full-time husband and wife team dedicated to offering a wonderful experience for new parents.

Hi, friends! Welcome to my blog! Today’s topic is all about adorable, vintage-inspired classic newborn photography props that you’ll find in my studio.

When you visit my newborn & baby studio you’ll find everything you need for a great session! In fact, I pride myself on having a huge variety of luxury newborn props and items that create amazing works of baby art! Part of having a beautiful gallery, one of which stands the test of time, is having impeccable yet unique items on hand to stylishly adorn my most petite, precious clients.

For instance, you’ll find numerous colors of hats, bonnets, and little caps for both genders! Boys and girls are adorable in these hand-knitted bonnets, many of which come from all over the world. Part of the reason these props are so amazing is because each prop is custom made for the perfect newborn prop size; unlike big box stores there is something absolutely special and endearing about using a prop made my another small business, one of which makes the props specifically for certain sizes (such as 6 pounds).

What makes these special?

The bonnets in my studio, moreover, are perfect for your little one because they’re made of hypoallergenic and the softest, most natural materials for your new addition.

Since the items are handmade, they have the most adorable knitted ties and are made of super soft material, such as alpaca yarn. Newborn photography bonnets truly are special because they’re created by other people who want your images to truly shine! Using classic, timeless, and vintage-inspired props set your gallery apart through texture, unique colors, and having your precious baby’s sweet cheeks showcased! Hats are such a great addition to any session!

Absolutely gorgeous textiles

Here are sample images of sleepy caps, bonnets, hats, slouchy beanies, and more! Playing dress up with my clients is an a dream and I look forward to all of our styling. Darling little baby hats with delicate features is the perfect compliment to your little one!

Jack Alexander is 7 Months Old & I’m Obsessed | Dapper Baby Boy Photos

Cutest Baby Boy in Houston | 7 Month Studio Sitter Session by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography

houston baby photography

Greetings, friends! Today's blog post is totally going to be biased because Jack, my sweet angel, is 7 months old and I cannot help but think he's the most handsome baby in all of Houston, ha! Of course, because he's mine, I cannot help but be super biased. First things first: I'm TOTALLY obsessed with him! There, I said it! He is my last baby and smitten does not even begin to describe how much I adore him. 

If you follow me on through social media, you may know I have four kiddos total. I just keep having babies, ha! Can't stop, won't stop - well, until now, ha! My little ones are named Emma Olivia, Lucy Rose, Amelia Charlotte Ann, and then our grand finale is Jack Alexander. When announcing the pregnancy, we did a super fun gender reveal in the studio so everyone could share our joy! 

Anyway, as one of Houston's Top Rated Baby Photographers (2016, 2017, and 2018), my studio is the perfect place for having your little one's photos taken! Not only do I have an amazing set of newborn props, I have a huge variety of gorgeous items for babies who are 3-12 months old; The first year of life is full of precious milestones! I offer fully customized baby milestone sessions to all of my clients. Everything is provided such as hand-created attire and all props/styling, such as buckets, bowls, etc. Check out a sample view of my client closet to see if these timeless, classic and adorable outfits are a good fit for you. :-) 

All of this information in mind, I could not wait until Jack is sitting up and able to take sitter photos. As of 7 months old, he is 24 pounds, 28 inches long, and is truly the happiest baby on the block! Of all my kiddos, he may be the most laid back. He loves snuggles, playing, rocking, visiting the park, spending time with his big sisters, and of course, he is still downstairs in the master bedroom. I have yet to move him into his nursery! I recently told my husband, "It's like another zip code upstairs, I cannot sequester him away to there!" He still fits into his pack 'n play so no worries. Sometimes he sleeps through the night, other times he is up about 1-2 times and drinks huge bottles. Jack is a complete joy and I'm super proud to be his mommy!

A quick review of Jack's Newborn Session | Posed So Sweetly

newborn baby portraits houston

Because I am a professional photographer (yes, it says that on my W-2 ha!), I was really excited to photograph Jack's first few days of life through a beautiful & stunning set of images. I did hire a great friend to photograph the family images, but my goodness, it was a complete honor to work with my own earthside cherub. Macro images are some of my absolute favorite photos from each newborn session I photograph so I cannot help but share a few. These are the up close, precious details that set your baby apart. Unique aspects and features are privy to your baby you spent 9 months dreaming of. As a mom, these are special to me because you think you have memorized every details such as their full lips, button nose, tufts of hair, and sweet serene sleeping face, but when you look at images of their first week of life they have changed so much!

Jack's Favorite Activity | Visiting the duck pond

visiting the duck pond

Since I work full time, my husband is the stay at home parent to our little ones. It's also really warm in Houston right now. We've had a super high heat index of about 104 degrees lately, so it's not until evening can my kiddos got outside and play. To give my husband a break (it's true: stay at home parents work so so so so so hard!), I will often take my little ones to the duck pond, which is in my neighborhood. My kiddos love to say hi to the animals such as the turtles and ducklings. We also like to watch people walk their dogs and also get to say hi to some of our neighbors. Our routine has now evolved into going on a walk to get some much needed energy out, and when I tell Jack we're going to visit the ducks, he claps his hands and smiles so big! It's his favorite activity at  7 months old.
