Caroline Lucy's Plum & Mauve Session | Houston Newborn & Family Session

Fresh, Pure and Timeless Newborn Baby + Family Photography near Jersey Village. Welcome Baby Girl at 9 days new.

Good morning, everyone! Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope you're gearing up for an exciting weekend as today is Thursday. I have a newborn coming in this morning so I am pretty excited about that since they're my specialty; however, before baby arrives at my studio I am looking forward to sharing one of the latest in studio newborn + family portraiture sessions I had the honor of documenting.

This adorable family visited my all white, organic studio, located in Houston, when baby was just around 8 days old. Her name is Caroline and she weighs 7 pounds. She has beautiful, full lips and the cutest little profile ever. Sweet little feet, button nose, and long fingers - truly a beauty! 

Her parents chose my "petite" collection which is a great newborn option because this session features a variety of custom set ups such as family images, baby with Mom, baby with Dad, (2) floor props, and (2) bean bag drops. I also do macro images, too, which are the detailed shots of your baby's features such as their fingernails, eyelashes, lips, etc. I like doing these because you spent 9 months dreaming of their face and imagining holding baby in your arms. A newborn portraiture collection is the perfect way celebrate this incredibly special time in your life. 

For family and parent images, I like the posing to be very laid back and connected; while it's nice to have a few of everyone looking "perfectly" at the camera, as a Houston mama to three little girls, I can tell you some of my most treasured images of my children are lifestyle in nature. This is where you naturally interact with little one. While I do give plenty of direction, I like to encourage you and your spouse to be who you are. Smile, laugh, play - talk about your favorite aspects of baby. Sometimes I also ask the parents to think about the first time they saw baby's heart beat at their doctor's appointment. This truly evokes a sense of wonder and genuine, authentic emotion.

After the family portion of your newborn session, we move onto baby's individual shots. I always begin with wrapped set ups since this makes baby feel very safe, secure and happy. They adore being wrapped because this emulates the environemnt of the womb; they spent 9 months growing in 98.6 degrees, so my studio is also kept at a cozy 80 degrees to ensure baby is comfortable. I also play white noise so that baby sleeps soundly. This environemtn fosters the perfect newborn session because baby's happiness is kept forefreont at all times. 

Her macro images of profile and lips are super cute! And this adorable knitted hat was given to me by one of my favorite vendors who makes most of my props. The plum set up truly makes baby skin's glow and she had a stunning tone to her. I also typically use darker, rich and vibrant color schemes since these look best against babies. I am not a fan of pastels since baby blends into the softer or muted neutrals. 

For Caroline's floor props, I selected an antique, rustic bucket and also a vintage wooden cradle. These are some of my favorite props because they look awesome with a boy or girl; depending on how you style baby, you're sure to receive a variety of looks with simplistic props. Moreover, vintage inspired props reflect a timeless atmosphere and you're able to ensure the photos will forever look classic. I am a huge fan of simplistic images because they're fresh, pure and genuine; they allow your baby to shine. By removing many distracting props, your baby will forever be preserved and the star of the photos. I provide all props and styling to ensure the photos reflect my tastes and branding. Consistency is key for me.

Those sweet little toes! Goodness, gracious!

Thanks again for visiting my blog. I'm stoked you stopped by and I hope you enjoyed seeing Caroline's petite posed newborn collection. Wishing you a wonderful Thursday and upcoming weekend! All my joy and warmth to you.

Houston Newborn Sessions with Sibling | Welcome Banks

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers a timeless, short and sweet wrapped newborn mini collection for your precious babies. Check out the top images from Baby Banks' session featuring teal, blue, grey, and an adorable toddler sibling!

Howdy, friends! Thanks for stopping by. If you follow my portraiture work, you may know I specialize in posed newborn photography. While there are many different styles of baby photos, I really enjoy soulful color schemes and truly vibrant  lighting. This makes your session super special and allows me to show how I see newborns; they deserve to be preserved in the most lovely of ways. This in mind, I offer three collections for parents to peruse. They cater to different budgets. There is a wrapped mini, petite or full. All collections do come with high resolution digital files and of course some nifty heirloom prints since it's important you walk away with a tangible professional product.

Baby boy Banks came to my studio when he was around 2 weeks old. As soon as his mama carried him in, he was sleeping so soundly I almost did not want to wake him! Mom let me help her feed him and get him out of his carrier; holding him close to my chest, I could not help but marvel at what a beautiful baby he is. So sweet, snuggly, and loved to be held. I could have hung out with him all day!

For his session, I used a color scheme reflecting teal, navy blue and grey. His wrapped mini collections also features two floor props and a few different styles of wrapping plus macro images. Here are just a few of my favorite images from his session. Hope you enjoy!

Here's what Banks' sweet mama had to say about her newborn portraiture experience:

"I live in Cypress, Texas and started my search for the best newborn/child photographer in the area. I came across Sarah's work and immediately fell in love. From my first contact with her up until I received my photos- she was extremely professional and organized.

When the kids and I arrived at her studio (which was extremely nice btw) she had a written plan for our session. I could also tell how passionate she was about her work. She talked about the adorable newborn wraps she'd be doing and took the time to explain things because she saw I was interested. She mentioned she keeps up with her classes, but upon walking in I could tell Sarah was a pro.

She made sure my infant and my toddler were perfectly comfortable the entire session. I also throughly enjoyed hanging out with her. It can me hard being new mom and it was nice getting out. She made it fun. Before we left, Sarah let me decide if I wanted her to share photos on social media and when I said yes she told me the dates I'd receive our photos via a link on email and sneak peek on Instagram and Facebook. Again, it was refreshing to meet another Mama with awesome organizational skills and passion for what they do.

I was blown away by our photos when I received them!!!!!! As my Aunt said, "she is a true artist." I will treasure my son's infant photos and our sibling photos forever. I told her she completely outdid herself. She seriously has a gift and I'm incredibly thankful to have worked with her. I would recommend Sarah Borchgrevink Photography over and over again. She is the best newborn/child photographer around!"

Black & White Minimalist Inspired Newborn Session | Jax

Houston Newborn Photography Session by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography | White & Black Minimalist Theme 

Here's What Jax's Mama Had to say about her experience:

 I highly recommend Sarah for your newborn photo needs. Not only was she extremely professional but she is very kind and was so patient with my little one. As a first time mom, I was extremely nervous about taking my baby out anywhere but her kind manner and cozy studio put my nerves at ease. Over email, I was able to tell her my vision and she was able to execute it perfectly. The best part was the day I got to go view all of the photos she took and walk away with all the printed proofs in a cute little gift box. I will definitely be taking my son back to her for his 1 year old photos."

Good afternoon everyone and happy Monday! Today has been great! I've had a few precious newborn babies in my studio, ordered prints, packaged up products, and now I'm settling into my desk for some editing and of course an updated blog. You see, as a photographer, I specialize in the custom art of newborn baby photography. This means I take nearly exclusively newborn sessions so that each baby may have all the attention to detail he or she deserves. My sessions all custom in nature which means I strive to provide unique props, set ups, poses, and a gorgeous gallery of baby portraits you're sure to love. The investment is one you'll never regret making. 

Today's baby who's beautiful face graces my blog is a handsome little fellow named Jax. The session also includes high resolution digital files & some gorgeous heirloom products so you're sure to have stunning fine art prints plus some awesome images to share with loved ones, plus print yourself. 

When Baby Jax came to my studio, he was just under 3 weeks old and about 7 pounds. He slept wonderfully for me and I barely even saw his beautiful eyes! His lashes and sweet cheeks had me oooohing and gushing over him! I adore each and every baby who comes to my studio and I cannot wait to work with each family! I cannot express how much I love newborn photography. That's partly why I specialize in babies: families, especially new parents, deserve a newborn experience in which the photographer is in absolute love with the genre their documenting. For me, that great love is newborns.

Here are my favorite images from the session! I hope you love them just as much as his sweet mama! <3
