In honor of the first official day of spring, which is March 20th, I’m super stoked to share images inspired by love of florets, perennials, vines, and all things beautiful. As a professional newborn, baby, and infant portrait artist, I am inspired by a love of color, textures, and seasonal items, such as the freshness you find from floral items. If this is your first time visiting my blog, welcome! I’m excited you’re here and I hope you cozy up and smile when you see the cutest babies who have visited! Let’s get started!

Spring Is in the air!

Spring is in the air and is finally here! Not only do we have longer days, as daylight savings time is currently in effect, things just feel lighter and even more hopeful! While Houston does not have a huge array of seasons, we are always thankful for a reprieve from the heat, but this past winter has been pretty bleak for our Gulf Coast city, so seeing blue skies and less rain has been an absolute joy!

What does Spring Symbolize?

Fun fact: spring often symbolizes new life. Pairing greenery and flowers with the birth of a new baby is a creative way to showcase all the newness and sacred joy in bringing home an adorable bundle! Joy and love, moreover, are also symbolized through spring and few things such as love, hope, youth, and growth are embodied quite the way a new arrival showcases so this in mind, one cannot help but see the parallels between the season and births.

Baby Milestone Sessions | 6-12 Months New

Baby and Infant Milestone Sessions take place in my Houston Photography Studio 6 days per week and are truly a huge treat to photograph! In fact, part of why these are so special is many of my clients, ages 3-12 months old, start out as newborn clients, or even maternity, so seeing them sit up unassisted, smash cakes, play in the bubble bath, and embody all things chubby and sweet baby, is a really fun morning! There is a very popular set of memberships for these clients, too, so click on over to this post to see more details about these.

Now that you know a little more about what constitutes infant photography, I adore using greenery, eucalypti, garland, vines, etc.

Favorite colors I also like to have on hand:

  • mint

  • corals

  • pale green hues such as sage

  • peaches

  • lavender

  • pale pink

  • cream

  • leafy green

Custom Newborn Photography | First 14 days of Life

In the world of photographing newly arrived cherubs there are several styles though mine can be described as posed portraiture within a studio setting, as this is where my sessions take place, and everything is posed, so that all of the details are perfect and showcase your little one as the amazing little angel they are! They’re truly a gift and all of the little details matter from macro images, buckets and floor props, wrapping, family and sibling portraits, and of course bean bag posing, too! Creating stunning works of baby art gives me life and I’m super stoked about these springtime renewal setups below. Keep scrolling to see more!

Then & Now: An Overview of New Arrivals who turned the Big O-N-E- in 2018

Sarah Borchgrevink specializes in studio newborn and baby portraiture! Check out some of the cutest baby plan clients from 2018.

Photographing a brand new baby is an absolute dream! There is no job more perfect and makes my heart sing than documenting this absolutely precious time in a family’s life as they welcome a little one into their lives. However, baby plan membership clients are extra special because I’ve had the honor of not only photographing their cherub’s first professional photos, though many of these parents also choose me for pregnancy images, little sitter 7 month sessions, and the 12 month cake smash & splash!

First things first: what’s a baby plan?

Ha! I’m glad you asked! At Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, a baby plan membership can be broken into two categories for parents seeking multiple sessions with the same photographer.

  • maternity, newborn, little sitter, and one year

  • newborn, little sitter, and one year

Sometimes, however, parents will choose to do a newborn session and then follow up with a one year old set of images, since I tell parents they should book what is most important to them.

As 2018 comes to a close, I am sharing a handful of my favorite clients who turned one on this glorious year! Let’s get started. Let the cuteness begin!

Dad’s Little Football Player | How to Add a Special Prop from Home

Special request by parents: Lucas' sports inspired newborn boy session. Let's play some ball!

Greetings, friends! A common question I receive from parents is, "Can we bring a prop from home?" No worries! The answer is simple: YES. As a professional newborn photographer in Houston, I have a portrait studio catering to all things newborn and baby. I pride myself on offering a huge array of props and textiles to create lovely sessions. However, I also recognize parents often have a few ideas of their own. I delight in offering timeless and unique styled sessions and will happily incorporate a few of your own items into my session.

For example, when Lucas' sweet mama called to book her newborn collection, she relayed that Dad is a huge sports fan and they would love to showcase a few sports themed baby photography images during our time together. First and foremost: I was completely honored to hear from her because she was kind as can be, but also I knew I had a few great ideas up my sleeve to still maintain my newborn style while also incorporating a prop from the clients' house. 

Baby with Football during Posed Session

Little man Lucas visited at just 7 days new. He was a full term baby boy weighing over 8 pounds! So much gorgeous newborn rolls, chunk, and a cherub face that is too handsome! When adding a prop that is not found in my studio space, such as a football or other sport, there are a few spots you may easily add the item, such as the bucket, seen below, or even during the naked bean bag posing.

Timeless and Unique Newborn Set up with football | Styling and Vision

When styling a brand new baby's session, my motto is simple: vintage meets classic for timeless results. I use antique props and rustic floors to create dreamy images. I also like for the sessions to be very masculine for little boys and very dainty for girl babies. To add the football into the session I chose charcoal grey, heather grey, and a metal pail that pops against the barnwood floors and rich colored football. This is a wonderful compromise to be true to my own newborn photos (dreamy, gorgeous, classic images) without having too many distracting props that take away from the beauty of baby boy.

A second place to add the football into the session is during the naked bean bag posing. I love working with little ones during this set up because this showcases all of their adorable newborn features from their tiny fingers, chubby cheeks, long lashes, etc. I posed Lucas in forward-facing pose, seen above, and then added the football underneath him. Mom and Dad were right next to me helping me assist during this time. :-) Remember: baby's safety is of the utmost importance so it's always best to act with caution. 

There you have it! Two adorable yet timeless ways to add a special prop from home into your newborn session! Thanks for stopping by, friends! Keep on scrolling if you'd like to read more details about the professional portrait services provided by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography.
