Good morning, friends! Today’s blog post is a formal announcement sharing information about the new studio that is available as of May 2019! Here’s everything you need to know about the new office space!

Centrally Located inside the 610 Loop

I am absolutely thrilled to share information about the new location for Sarah Borchgrevink Photography! As a professional portrait artist, I am moving my office and work space to a central area in Houston called Uptown. This is located off San Felipe and 610.

The address is the following:

4550 Post Oak Place, Suite 203, Houston TX 77027

Dream Photography Studio | Floor Plan Overview

Below is a floor plan attached of the new space and the plans that are currently in place. The studio space is a 1,300 square foot office located inside of a commercial office building. The space is being fully renovated and remodeled to fit my timeless, classic, and vintage-inspired style of photography. This space is a complete dream and everything a professional baby photographer could ever want!

The studio is ideally located in the prestigious Post Oak Park near the Galleria, Williams Tower, Greenway Plaza, Texas Medical Center, Museum District, West University, Rice Village, Downtown Houston, Montrose, Upper Kirby, and the Heights.

Studio features:

Inside the studio you will find the perfect floor plan for amazing baby photography and a wonderful experience for new parents. The studio features the following:

• A lobby and reception area so parents have a comfortable place to wait. There are also snacks, of course, and a coffee bar. Inside this lobby area you’ll also find a playroom for young children to hang out in whilst their sibling is being photographed.

• The mothers lounge is designed for the comfort of new mothers. This is a nursing, feeding, or resting room so you may feed your baby, in comfort and peace, before and after your session. I do have four young children myself and recognize that feeding Baby is a huge part of your day. This mothers room will allow you to relax and to leave your session so Baby has a full tummy for the car ride home.

• The prop room has anything you could ever want for accessories! Inside my prop room, which is labeled storage, you will find a huge array of props, perfectly organized. Here is where I will keep my hundreds of props such as buckets, bowls, baskets, wooden bowls, newborn antique beds, hats, bonnets, headbands, wraps, textiles, backdrops, and more!

• The all white lifestyle room for family, child, or maternity sessions. This room is going to feature a big white bed, white couch, and have beautiful flooring, crown molding, and floor to ceiling light to make for the dreamiest of sessions. This can be used for little sitter sessions, baby milestones, and even family photos during your newborn session. This room will focus on capturing families naturally and with connections.

• The posed newborn room featuring backdrops, three custom wood walls, and comfortable seating for you during your time in studio. This room is about 500 square feet, within itself, and will have the same look at my current studio. This means I’ll be keeping the three rustic wood walls my husband, Kevin, designed for me as well as all of the seamless paper backdrops. Everything will be set up in advance for your session for a seamless experience.

Amenities:

The building has monitored security, ample surface parking plus controlled access to garage covered parking, as well as a deli downstairs.

Online Booking Available

A new feature that has recently been implemented is online booking for your sessions. This is how you seamlessly sign your contract, pay your deposit, and then select your session date & time from a calendar. This is designed for busy parents who like simplicity.

Thank you for reading about my new centrally located baby portrait studio! I will be updating the blog with new information and photographs as construction is completed.

Ideas for Baby's First Photos | Newborn Girl Styling through Dainty Accessories

Sarah shares samples of the setups you can expect when visiting for a posed infant session.

A popular question I receive from parents is, ‘where do you we buy all the props we see in your photos?’ Have no fear: I provide everything for your sessions and do so with thought, creativity, and also ensuring our session is all things classic, timeless, and forever preserves this incredibly special time in your life.

Prop Philosophy | Enhance Through Simplicity

As a professional newborn baby photographer, the branding behind my studio encompasses all things natural, dreamy, and simple. The props you’ll find on hand are often inspired by my love of vintage and antique vibes, but also lets the baby shine and does not detract from your little one. Baby should be the star of the images. Props and accessories add gorgeous touches such as interesting textures, background, and rustic floor items, but simple is always best as to not take away from the beauty of a newborn baby. This approach also ensures your photos are forever timeless. I liken this to the little black dress we, as women, all have in our closet. Classic, forever chic, and never too trendy, as those trends do fade.

Handmade with Love from all over the world

Moreover, each piece you find in my Houston Newborn Baby Portrait Studio is carefully selected to curate an amazing collection for our time together! Many of my favorite vendors are sourced from all over the world such as Poland, Italy, Australia, Canada, and more! While the states has plenty of neat vendors, there is something incredibly special and unique about purchasing handcrafted, small batch props that are custom designed for petite clients. As a photographer, I build relationships and repertoire with my vendors and am so happy to have many options for all of my needs.

For instance, I purchase all of my luxury little sitter props from GeorgeandAnnie, located in Brisbane, Australia. My hand-knitted, darling and precious newborn baby bonnets are from MoonlightLittleKnits, located in Milan, Italy. These beautiful photography props for newborn babes make for the dreamiest of sessions! By using handmade photography props, the quality is excellent and also unique! When it comes to my ninja wrapping newborn skills, however, I love to purchase baby headbands and wraps from ClothApothecary.

However, my absolute favorite vendor for headbands, tiebacks, and dainty, petite accessories for little ladies is Created by Carli, props for little people, located in the UK. Her items are so amazing it’s worth using the pound, ha!, and converting it over to American dollars, ha! Of all the vendors I’ve encountered, her headbands, florals, halos, and tiebacks are the perfect addition to adorn any chubby cherub baby girl.

Delicate, Natural, and Lovely

Ahhh, if you’ve made it this far I am truly excited to show you, through recent newborn baby girl sessions why I provide all styling, such as props, accessories, lighting, etc., because my studio is the perfect place for your little one’s session. Simply bring their diaper bag and leave the rest to me. A newborn styling questionnaire & posed prep guide are always provided for parents, but put your feet up, relax, and leave everything to me. During our time, I’ll ensure Baby is comfortable, safely posed, and you have a little break.

Thank you for visiting my blog to see beautiful newborn girl baby props that create stunning works of art! If you’re located in the Greater Houston Area and are perhaps expecting your own bundle of joy, please do not hesitate to reach out. I am currently accepting new clients and would love to work with you during this special time in your life.

23 Too Cute for Words Floor Prop Setups Sure to Give You Baby Fever

Buckets, bowls, beds, crates, and more! Sarah shares 23 precious photos that will make you swoon!

There is something absolutely adorable about a brand new baby sweetly nestled into a floor prop! Perhaps it is their curly nature or how much, as parents, we marvel at the beauty in new life, but one thing is for sure: these precious setups will totally make you smile! Cozy up and check out my favorite images from the last few weeks!

Miniature Newborn Bed Props

Of all the vintage-inspired floor props in my Houston Newborn Baby Studio (believe me: there’s over 100, ha!), mini beds are basically my favorite props ever! I have several on hand that are wire, wooden, cream, brown, natural, etc. There are many amazing options, too! Part of being one of the best Houston baby photographers is providing unique, timeless, and breathtaking options for new parents. Floor props, for instance, are a great way to share your creativity. Textiles, texture, hats, bonnets, layers, wrapping, I could go on and on! Floor prop sessions are also the most popular with parents because they are the timeless and sweet images that you’ll treasure forever.

Wooden Bowls & Rustic Flooring

When it comes to a newborn studio, every baby photographer needs an amazing rustic bowl. The perfect bowl can be used for both girl or boy babies; it can be styled to be masculine or feminine. The bowl should gently cradle the earthside cherub and be the perfect vessel for showcasing an adorable little one! This bowl is one of my favorites and I often pull it for many different session types.

Woven Basket for texture

Baskets are also a cornerstone to newborn photography prop stashes because they provide much needed texture. When you have a new baby, the baby is brand new and so sweet; the baskets are needed to add contrast. They can be styled in many different ways and also are versatile!

There are many vendors that provide awesome baskets, but sometimes I luck out and find one in the states that’s available for immediate shipping.

Baskets look best with a wrapped baby and they’re nestled so sweetly!

Babies in buckets | oh my

Of all the setups during a posed newborn session, the bucket set up is always a favorite of mine! I have a huge variety of them from wooden to wire; pastel to bold; neutral to muted; textured to smooth. This gives endless creativity and also many options depending on the size of the baby. After all, a 5 pound baby will need a different bucket or pail than a 10 pound little one.

Flokati rugs

Ahhhh, flokati rugs - the ultimate texture in newborn images! I love love love love these and adore using them in many parts of the session. However, this cream one is such a treat because it’s so fluffy, ha! In fact, my husband teases me because I buy dog brushes to brush the flokati rugs so they stay nice and full. I can’t help it; I love all of my props and like to take care of them!
