Outdoor & Natural Light Cake Smash | County Fair Theme

Howdy, friends! Welcome to my blog! Today's post focuses on adorable children's cake smash session as well as the family portion of his one year photography session. As a photographer, I do specialize in newborn portraits, however, I offer a limited number of outdoor, natural light family photography appointments as well as darling children's portraits for your little ones, too. :-) Today's post is all about a super sweet family! We used one of my favorite locations in Cypress, but the parents were total rock stars and came from Pearland. The good thing about Houston is that we have many major highways so traveling is generally pretty easy. 

For this cake smash + family session combination, Mom told me baby's birthday party theme is a county fair so she wanted to incorporate that into his cake smash. I am a prop minimalist so that baby may be the focus; we used a vintage high chair, a cute set of balloons and then a sign Mom brought. The star of the smash is Baby but a cute cherry pie is what we used to smash. So cute! Simple, easy details. Moms: don't make things harder than they need to be. This is something I cannot stress enough.

Here are my favorite images of our time together!

Outdoor Family Photography | Sweet Baby Boy & His Doting Parents

This portion of the session was a lot of fun for me to document because family connections are everything. As a mama, I can tell you how special it is to have images of your entire family interacting. I like my family portrait sessions to be lifestyle in nature meaning you cuddle, kiss, toss baby into the air. Everything should feel warm and natural. Be who you are. Enjoy being with your spouse and children. This time is sacred and these sweet memories will be truly wonderful to look back on and admire! My sessions take place specifically at sunrise or sunset; in this case, we shot at sunset since the location faces east. The stunning, golden light adds much warmth to the images and emphasises love. Truly my favorite time of the day!

Fresh, Gorgeous Neutral Baby Boy Session | Meet Jakob

Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, serves the Greater Houston Area including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe and Magnolia Texas. Welcome Baby Boy Jakob - 7 days fresh and new.

Greetings, friends! Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you're having an awesome day and up to something fun with your family. Today I am at my desk working on business tasks, but I am also excited because a sweet baby girl is coming to my studio in a few hours. For now, however, I'm going to show off this absolutely precious little boy who visited recently. His name is Jakob. At 7 days old, he visited my all white, organic Houston Newborn Photography studio and slept wonderfully for me. He weighed around 7 pounds and loved the cozy wrapping. Here are some of my favorite images of his session.

Jakob's parents were sweet as can be. They chose to not do family images and focus on baby. They selected me petite collection, which offers a wonderful array of images from super cute wrapped portraits, floor props, naked bean bag posing and of course the fantastic macro images that truly capture the unique aspects of your new baby.

Mom relayed she really is a fan of neutrals, however, is not opposed to perhaps a bit of color such as navy blue. They came from The Woodlands, which is just north of Houston, and I made sure their entire session was set up so we could begin on time. 

During their baby session, the little ones love to be wrapped! Parents always marvel at how easily they fall asleep. Moreover, this keeps baby sleep so we can utilize many props and set ups. For example, this enables me to use two floors props. Examples of floor prop choices are buckets, bowls, baskets, crates, boxes, all of which are antique and vintage inspired to reflect my personal tastes. I must note: always research your newborn photographer's portfolio to ensure you're a good fit. :-) I do a lot of color but am not opposed to a neutral session here and there, such as this one. 

Baby Boy has gorgeous skin! He is simply glowing and is the picture of health. His full head of hair, cup lips, button nose, chubby cheeks and sweet smile simply made my heart soar. He also was very curly and fun to pose; I truly like for baby to look as timeless and simple as possible. While newborn photography truly is a custom art, it should look effortless in the final images, despite it being anything but easy. I am formally trained and have taken many workshops on safety, lighting, posing, flow, wrapping and post processing of your images. This is why I take your investment very seriously.

Ahhhh! That sweet, sleepy yawn! These are always favorites of mine since images such as this truly show off the baby and their personality. 

The rest of this handsome fellow's petite posed newborn collection featured naked posing. Here are my favorite images. :-) I hope you enjoy!

D Family | Timeless Baby Portraiture Houston

Houston Baby Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers Fresh, Pure and Authentic Newborn Photography. Fully inclusive digital collections + heirloom prints & products.

Greetings and good morning, friends! Thanks for visiting my blog. You see, the little 'ol blog is where many gorgeous babies grace my page as I showcase the highlights from their posed newborn sessions. However, I also preview a few baby bumps or family sessions here and there, too, to make sure things stay interesting, haha! However, today you're in luck: one of my super awesome baby plan membership clients are on the blog.

At this point, you may be scratching your head and thinking, "What's a baby plan membership?" A baby plan membership is simple: it's a package catering to clients seeking maternity, newborn and first year of life portraits of these incredibly special milestones in their lives. This includes celebrating your radiant baby bump, bringing home a new baby and also documenting the super awesome milestones such as baby sitting up and then of course their one year portraits.  In fact, you may remember this adorable couple from their outdoor maternity session, which took place in February. 

Today, I am honored to share my favorite images from K's studio newborn session. Her sweet parents brought her to my all white, organic space when she was 9 days new. She weighed just under 6 pounds and was so petite, dainty and curly! For my time with her, mama requested a feminine color scheme such as soft pinks, creams and a plethora of rose hues. While I do pull inspiration from your colors, I sometimes add my own twist, so later on we also used a hunter green. Green, you see, is my absolute favorite color to use with little girls, so keep on scrolling to see how gorgeous the sage also looked against her skin. :-) 

At this point, you also may be wondering, "So, what comes in a newborn session?" As you can see, we do a large variety with each baby. Aside from family/parent images, which take place first, I utilize many styles of wrapping to show off the curly, brand new nature of a little baby. Followed by this, I typically do 2 floors props, such as a rustic crate or an antique bucket. Then, after these set ups, we'll move into the naked posing with all the sweet, squishy poses. I do each and every session with the same flow so we may ensure your session reflects what you see in my portfolio. Consistency is of the utmost importance! Please note, however, I do offer a mini wrapped collection, petite or full posed, so the mini wrapped session does include wrapped shots and none of the naked images, but this is designed for parents who are seeking more modest newborn portraits, ha!

One aspect of newborn photography I truly enjoy is providing everything for your session. This ensures your images are timeless, classic and unique, so I will style baby to reflect custom set ups. This includes gorgeous headbands or tiebacks, organic textiles, professional lighting and of course post processing of your high resolution retouched digital files. 

Thanks for stopping by! I am always happy to have you here! If you're currently pregnant, please know I am booking August - November due dates. It's never too early to book your session since newborn portraits take place when your baby is 14 days new or less; my preference, nonetheless, is 4-10 days old. Newborns do have top priority on my calendar, so feel free to connect if you have any questions. I would love to work with you!
