Vibrant amethyst, orchid, lilac and lavender meets the richness of a blue-green turquoise color scheme for this jewel tone inspired newborn session with baby girl Mia!

Newborn Photography Houston | Unique Baby Photography by Sarah Borchgrevink

When working with fresh, new and gorgeous babies I adore creating amazing works of newborn fine art! This means the session is not a handful of snapshots but wonderfully finessed newborn posing. Part of the final product, however, is achieved by using interesting color schemes. For instance, in the case of precious baby girl Mia, who visited my Houston Newborn Photography studio at 7 days fresh, we pulled inspiration from jewel tones such as emerald and amethyst.

Color, you see, is what makes for the best sessions! The contrast with a newborn's skin creates a creamy, polished look. While neutrals are what is currently popular, I urge parents to consider colors that showcase the beauty of their newborn. Light pink and blush, for instance, blend with baby's skin, but the vibrancy of a deep, vivid color is how you can elevate your newborn sessions.

Here are some of my favorite photos of my time with beautiful Mia!

Happy Monday! The sun is shining, babies are visiting today, and we're working on tons of galleries. I hope you're all having a great 4 day weekend!

Photographing my own kids. They're at the age where they LOVE photos now! 🥰❤️🥰

His sweet face is on my desk this morning as I wait for my first client, a studio family with their 2-month-old, to arrive. :-) Happy Saturday to everyone in Houston; the cold front snuck up on me!

If a posed newborn session isn't your favorite, no worries! Plenty of families visit for a studio family/baby session in which we focus on expanding your family + a laid-back session letting Baby be little. :-)

Spreading a little love this morning! I sent her mama the album design for her membership this morning ~ here are a few from her one-year session. :-) 🥰🥰🥰

Sunday Funday on this stormy Houston Day. I heard there's a big game today. 😆🥰 I am working with studio Family today from a reschedule in which I was injured. I'll be in a sling for a few weeks, but it'll heal and we can get back to our normal flow

It's Friday, and I think everyone in Houston is reaching for the weekend ~ we have some really cool projects happening this weekend, too, in the studio!

😏❤️😆 It's Friday evening and after a long soak in my hot tub, I'm playing video games with the hubster and kiddos. See you tomorrow at 9 am, in the studio, for a day of baby milestone sessions. I rarely have newborns on the weekends, the baby miles

The next gallery on my desk. We had 5 reschedules due to severe thunderstorms .There was a day with a few hours of sun so we made a last minute decision to dodge the rain. 🤍

Turnaround time for your gallery is 14 days from the day of your session,

Aquamarine is the perfect accent color for spring. Featuring rich colors and symbolizing youth, health and hope this stone makes for a beautiful inspiration color palette!

Using Sea Green, Turquoise, Teal, and Aqua in a Newborn Boy Session

It is no secret that I am a lover of all things blue, green and vibrant! This in mind, for the month of March I am very excited to present newborn sessions featuring aquamarine, which is the birthstone for this month. The rich color is a symbol of youth, health, and hope which pairs perfectly with bringing home a new baby. Reflecting spring and new life, this stunning accent color is an amazing option for a newborn session.

The birthstone has a fantastic sea-green hue which also looks fantastic with gold and silver materials. For example, the newborn boy I am showcasing today has a nursery with all things teal, turquoise, sea foam, and also copper and gun metals, too! Your newborn session is absolutely a great way to reflect the colors you like to have in your home.

Moreover, aquamarine is known for its calming and soothing aura, so this is a great accompaniment to a newborn session in which we like to replicate a quiet environment when working with a baby.
