Honored to Photograph Stunning Women | Mothers Day 2018

Check out the recent mothers Sarah had the privilege to photograph. Houston Maternity, Family & Newborn Baby Portrait Photographer 

Mamas in Studio & Outdoors | Celebrating Mommy & Baby Portraits

Greetings and good morning to you, friends! Howdy! Happy early Mothers Day! I have been looking forward to this blog post because aside from being a full time portrait photographer, I have the honor of being the mommy to my four little ones: Emma, Lucy, Amelia and Jack. I jokingly call them "the tiny tribe of wild women" and "chief Jack" because I cannot help but see the humor in things, especially with the spirited dynamic  surrounding having four children. Nevertheless, humor aside, Mothers Day is an absolutely awesome holiday! Yes, yes - I know it's sometimes viewed as a Hallmark Holiday meant to sell cards and flowers, but there is a lot more to celebrating Mothers Day than gifts.

From the moment you hear your child's heartbeat, you are tied to them for life. There is nothing more amazing than holding a brand new life in your hands or feeling the gentle and soft kicking of you baby as they grow in your belly.

This in mind, I am excited to showcase recent sessions featuring beautiful mothers in a portraiture setting. If this is your first time visiting, please allow me to explain: My name is Sarah Borchgrevink (Bork-Grey-Veenk) and I am a Houston TX Newborn Baby Portrait Photographer also offering some of the Best Maternity Photos in the NW Harris County area. I also work with young families, too, and I cannot express the joy I feel in calling this my full time job since 2013. 

Motherhood is a never ending adventure. This inspires me to create stunning pregnancy portraits as this is the beginning of documenting all that is beautiful about expecting a little one. For instance, I joyfully offering a la carte packages for newborn, maternity and family sessions, but in addition to single sessions I am super thrilled to share that I also offer bundled portraiture memberships meaning you can select Baby's First Year, Maternity + Baby's First Year as well as a Belly & Baby Membership, so this pricing does reflect a discount for clients booking multiple sessions. In return, you receive mother and child portraits at every stage of our time together. There are no hidden fees or add on's: each session always includes beautiful set ups of you and your baby from the maternity session, to the newborn portraits, even at the sitter 7 month milestone session and the 12 month smash and splash (which are SO SO SO SO fun!).

Without further delay, please allow me to share some of the most gorgeous mamas who have worked with my studio (and on location!) recently.

As always, thank you for visiting my blog to see beautiful images of mothers and their little ones! I am so happy you took the time to stop by and I truly hope you enjoyed seeing these gorgeous mommies! I wish you an amazing Mothers Day this year. All my joy to your family, friends! 

If you are interested in your own session showcasing the everlasting bonds of motherhood, I would love to chat with you about session options, such as in studio or outdoors in a natural light setting. Let's chat and get to know one another!

Happiest Baby on the Block | Splish-splash Bubble Bath

KP is a fun loving one-year-old baby boy who had a blast during his portrait session with Sarah! Check out the cutest highlight from his time in the studio!

First Birthday Photos | Simple & Timeless

Your baby's first birthday photos are such a treat to photograph! Chances are if you've booked a collection at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography for your little one's first birthday, you're probably a baby plan membership client. These sessions are especially sweet since my most petite clients have been with me since they were newborns! 

KP, for instance, is the happiest kiddo on the block! At his newborn session, for instance, he was super laid back and easy going. At 5 pounds, he was an awesome sleeper and super curly. Then when we photographed his sitter session, he kept me laughing the entire time. Now, at 12 months old, we had a wonderful time in the studio for his splashing in the tub session!

These sessions are wonderful because they focus on baby milestone photography. What little baby could resist playing in bubbles? Moreover, these sessions use my favorite type of props: vintage, classic and timeless. The more classic and simple the photos are, the happier I am since my goal is to showcase your child as the star without distracting themes or too many busy props. 

Many thanks to KP's sweet parents for being such fantastic clients this year! Here are some of my favorite images from his studio session.

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, shares the best gowns you can find on Amazon that are affordable, stylish, and will perfectly enhance your maternity session. 

Greetings, friends! If you're booking a session, this may be your first baby, and you're unsure what to wear to the session or how to style yourself. Selecting outfits for a pregnancy photoshoot can be a little daunting; you're not a professional photographer, and you're unsure what photographs well. 

Have no fear! I am an experienced Mama! I love working with you and helping you find the perfect gown in a style that flatters you, matches the type of decor you have in your home, and also showcases your radiant baby bump.

First and foremost: congratulations on your precious baby! Pregnancy is an exciting time full of joy, anticipation, and; hopefully, a stunning yet dynamic photography session preserving this incredibly special time in your life. Welcome to motherhood!

This list is curated to include various styles, fabrics, and textures. I also considered different types of fit and how some mothers may prefer more coverage. Moreover, the gowns I am previewing had many colors from which to select. This is helpful for different skin tones, too.

Fun fact: You can often use the maternity gown as an option for your baby shower or even your newborn session since the material is often flowy and stretchy.

Stunning Mother to be in a maternity gown:

A few days ago, I had the honor of working with a very sweet couple (who will have their own dedicated blog post soon since Mom had two awesome dresses for their session, ha!). From the moment Mom e-mailed me, I knew she was a perfect client and I could not wait to work with them! They're expecting a precious baby boy soon; at 35 weeks along, her baby bump is absolutely perfect and she is full of radiance, vibrancy, and truly a beautiful spirit! 

I am hoping to talk them into bringing their fur babies to the studio for the newborn session, so cross your fingers, ha! 

The pregnancy gowns are a great option for your session because they're feminine, soft, flowy, and add a delicate aspect to your photos. They're also designed to showcase the bump, too, so you know the final outcome will feature your little one. 

As always, thank you for taking the time to visit my blog! I know you're probably a busy mama, so it means a lot you took time out of your day to stop by my creative corner of the earth. :-) If you enjoyed perusing gorgeous gowns for maternity sessions, you may like reading handy dandy information on the following topics:
