Lovely Locks Galore | Houston Baby Photography

Happy Tuesday, friends and welcome! Today's blog post showcases my favorite newborn session from this past month. While I adore each and every cherub who visits my Houston Newborn Baby Studio, there are sometimes sessions that have a particularly unique aspect to them. For example, I'm a professional baby portrait artist meaning I specialize in the custom art of posed newborn photography. I typically schedule my most petite & precious clients when they're around 6-9 days old. This is where I've seen the best results.

However: rules can sometimes be broken. Babies can pleasantly surprise you!

To elaborate further, for instance, as of 2018, I am now offering appointments to babies outside of the traditional 14-day timeframe you'll typically see. I believe parents deserve to have amazing images of their darling bundles of joy. While earlier is best, there are many options for babies who miss the 14-day timeline and I joyfully invite you to consider a session with me!

Sometimes parents don't know how early they have to book to be on the calendar in advance. This is a great way to still fit in the last minute booking. Miso's parents, for instance, called me when baby girl was 10 weeks old and full term. However, no fear! Mom and I chatted for about an hour on the phone and talked about what she would like to see in their session since Miso is so much further along in development than a newborn. Mom requested macro images of baby plus parent posing. They also signed up for a baby plan membership with me, so I'll be seeing Miso for her first year of life. I'm thrilled to have them as membership clients and am blessed to meet such amazing, kind-hearted parents in Houston.

Anyway, since Miso was 10 weeks old and at the time of her session, she was sporting some amazing hair! Oh, my goodness - from the moment I started wrapping her, I could not believe how much hair she has! Mom joked they call her "Einstein," due to how her hair sticks up in the back, ha!

Allow me to introduce Miso

Miso is a beautiful baby girl girl who weighed 6 pounds at birth. She was born on her due date in March 2018, specifically on the 3rd. When she visited my studio, she weighed a little over 9 pounds and had the creamiest, fair skin - so pretty! Mom requested all things girly for her session such as a muted pink to showcase the feminine aspects of a brand new girl. She was very alert for part of her session, giving me incredible eye contract! Her almond shaped eyes are full of wonder and truly soulful.

Here are just a few of my favorite images! Her parents received 57 gorgeous, perfected full resolution digital files in their gallery as well as the matching print. :-)

Check out what M's sweet mama had to say about her newborn portraiture experience with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

I can't say enough positive things about our experience with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography. We have chosen Sarah to document both of our children's newborn photos and the results were beautifully stunning photos we will treasure forever. Sarah is extremely talented and professional. She communicated effectively so we were prepared for our session, worked well with our whole family (toddler included) and handled our newborn with care. If you're in the market for newborn photos I highly recommend Sarah!

Rustic Burnt Red for Autumn

Fall is undoubtedly my favorite season. Of course, if you live in the south, we don't have much of an autumn, but we do have a short reprieve in which the humidity levels drop to less than 100 percent and we see some temperatures in the low 80's. As a native Houstonian, I will take this any day! We earn our fall season in the south because it's just so warm year around. One cannot help but be excited about the slight change in seasons; this is when the holidays are closer, a new school year is beginning, there are lots of fun family friendly festivals, and there's just something in the air: anticipation and excitement about what the rest of the year has in store.

However small our changes in seasons are, I cannot help but be inspired when it comes to my newborn fine art sessions. You see, babies are art: sometimes people think newborn photographers just lay babies on a backdrop and snap a few photos, but much more goes into it. We take posing courses, lighting classes, and spend hours mentoring. We learn the best post processing tricks of the trade, invest in thousands of dollars in professional equipment, and are constantly striving to be better at our craft.

This in mind, I ordered a new backdrop to add to my ever growing prop collection. This burnt rustic red is simply divine and really captures the spirit of autumnal hues. I do tend to select classic, timeless pieces and avoid trends at all costs, so color and texture are how I set myself apart. The use of color adds soul and vibrancy to your images, too.

Here are some of my favorite photos from Baby M's full newborn collection! I'll be previewing family later this week so stay tuned to see an adorable older sibling + doting, gorgeous parents.

Wishing you a great week! Come visit again soon!
