Tiny Details Tell Big Stories through Breathtaking Macro Photography

Close-Up Details of New Babies Make for Soulful Yet Stunning Galleries

When booking a portraiture session with Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, macro images are highlighted throughout our time together. As a mother to four young children (Emma, Lucy, Amelia, and Jack!) I can attest that the unique characteristics of your little one will make your heart sing!

F.A.Q From Parents | ‘What are Macro Images?”

A popular question I receive from expecting parents is, “what are the photos called in which it’s an up-close detailed photo of the baby?” The answer is simple: macro photography is simply extreme close-up photography; in the world of custom newborn portraiture, which is my specialty, these are everything good and beautiful about your precious baby. Eyelashes, tufts of hair, toes, lips, profile, hands - it’s all fearfully and wonderfully made.

Moreover, these darling details in which you’ll dote are featured in all packages including the wrapped newborn session, bean bag session, full, and also the petite package.

Amazing & Unique

The smallest details make the biggest impact on your heart.

Part of being one of the Best Houston Newborn Photographers (2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) is creating breathtaking works of art through timeless, vintage-inspired scenes. Macro images are both unique and amazing because they showcase what is distinct about your own bundle of joy. Each baby is their own person. Years from now, when your little one is grown, you’ll fondly look back on the images of them as they became part of this world. Providing cherished heirlooms is of the utmost importance to me and creating unique yet classic images that preserve your cherub is my ultimate goal.

Lashes, lips, button noses, and more!

For All the Things My Hands Have Held the Best By Far Is You

See the cutest newborn, family, parent, and sibling images from last week!

Newborn Family Photography in Houston Texas

Of all the photos you’ll ever have taken of your new arrival, the family, parent, or sibling images will resonate timelessly throughout baby’s life. These images reflect the love and bond between a brand new baby and their parents. This is when little one has just began to be part of this world and they truly fit in the palm of your hand. Never will they be this small; smell this way, or touch your heart as sweetly. As one of Houston’s Top Newborn Photographers, I delight in offering packages that reflecting classic and stunning studio portraiture work. Family, parent, and sibling setups are wonderful to document. Here’s who visited last week!

Baby Boy Quinn

Congratulations to Jessica and Matt! Quinn is such a handsome little fella; weighing 6 pounds, 6 ounces he is truly a bundle of joy. He is their first baby and was an absolute joy to photograph as his session reflected a Woodlands Creatures Theme with furry, sweet animal friends. Mom and Dad booked the popular ‘petite’ newborn package, which is ideal for first time parents. This newborn family pose is one of my favorites as hands are on baby and show how sweet, little, and precious they are. Congrats to the L Family! All my joy to you on this new adventure with your beautiful son!

Sweet Sisters | Amal & Mia

The wrapped newborn mini with family add on (an additional $150) is the perfect session for babies who have missed the traditional 14 days or less for scheduling. Amal visited my Houston Baby Portrait Studio at a little over 3 weeks old. Mia, three years old, is the best big sister! Sibling and newborn photography can sometimes be a little spirited, but Mia was a rock star and one of the best big sisters I’ve ever had in studio! For their sibling portion we did two different set ups: one of Amal holding Mia on a white, fluffy flokati rug and another where Mia was in the bucket and she gently kisses and hugs sister.

As you can see, Amal is snugly and posed perfectly in one of the many buckets you’ll find in my studio! Her head full of gorgeous dark hair is adorned with a precious headband. Sibling images will make their mother’s heart soar! What a sweet pair of little girls. I am honored to have worked with them.

The Garcia Family

The Garcia family visited with their brand new little girl, who weighs 9 pounds, such a squish! They chose the full newborn session, which is an amazing option for parents seeking a large variety of images for our time together. Your baby is only small for a few short weeks so sometimes parents will book the largest package to ensure they have as many photos as they could possibly need.

Working with new parents and their earth side babies is an absolute dream! When posing Mom and newborn baby, or dad and their little one, we we use two different backdrops: one is the custom wood wall that is a complete show stopper! The other is the classic white background in my studio featuring gorgeous light that is effortlessly beautiful. Both make for an incredible gallery!

The Wolf Family | Returning Clients

About two years ago I had the honor of visiting their beautiful home for an in home lifestyle newborn session; at the time I was still offering family sessions in my clients’ homes. However, I have since moved to where I specialize in posed newborn photography within a studio setting; this in mind, the Wolf family came to me this time for their images of their second little one, Abby! Big Brother Benjamin is even more precious than the last time I saw him! He was all smiles and full of pride as we photographed the entire family with little sister. Many thanks to the Wolf’s for choosing me a second time. I loved working with you again!

Father and Newborn Son | Favorite Angle

Colt is the a miracle baby (see more of their post here with Love Story of Ashley and Justin). During our full newborn session, Baby Boy is posed in many different setups such as Dad and Baby. I love this angle because it shows all of Baby’s beautiful features as well as the chest of Dad protecting his little one. Colt is also a baby plan client so I worked with Ashley & Justin on their maternity session, newborn session, too, and will also be seeing them for their 6 month sitter and 12 month cake smash and splash session. Thank you to the R family for choosing me!

Thanks for visiting to see the sweetest parent, family, and sibling images from last week! While you’re here you may enjoy reading about the following:

Aquamarine, Teal and Turquoise | March Birthstone Accenting Spring

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.

Thanks for visiting my blog to see this stunning newborn photography session featuring baby boy JJ!
