Spring Has Sprung! Botanic Infant Photography featuring Florals and Greenery

The studio welcomes the 2019 Spring Season with decorative blossoms, garland,and blossoms for the freshest baby bud newborn photography in Houston!

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!

As always, friends, thank you for visiting! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy day to spend time in my own little creative corner of the earth. I am excited to share I am accepting due dates well into 2019, such as October, so if you know someone who is currently expecting please know I adore referrals. If you’re the lucky lady, however, who is growing their own bundle of joy I would also love to work with you!

Last Week in Studio: Little Sitters, Siblings, Parents, and New Arrivals

Offering adorable baby milestone sessions as well as posed newborn photography featuring sibling, parent, and family setups, Sarah shares highlights from last week's sessions! 

Howdy, friends! Today's blog post is a fun one because you get to see last week's sessions + what makes them special. Welcome! Let's get started!

Big Brother Link | Newborn Photography with Sibling

This sweet big brother, named Link, could not have been sweeter during his sibling portion of little sister's newborn session. Link is not even two years old, yet, either, so this is a great posing idea for sibling. These images are included in the "full' newborn collection, but are also available as an add on in every other collection I offer, such as the wrapped mini, bean bag mini, and petite sessions. My favorite part of this setup is how clean and classic all the colors are; I adore timeless and vintage inspired sessions, so the lace headband, ivory wrap, cream flokati rug, and simple white shirt and dark wash jeans are the perfect outfit for a sibling and newborn baby girl setup. Link was especially special to me because he was so tender and soft with his baby sister.

Mia at nearly 3 weeks new

Mia is a brand new arrival who visited my Houston Newborn Baby Portrait Studio at just under 3 weeks old. Her session is special because she's the first baby who's mama booked my brand new session offering, called the newborn wrapped mini! Featuring gorgeous textiles, antique and rustic floor props, and full styling such as bonnets and dainty tiebacks, this is a great option for babies who are 30 days or newer. This is designed for parents seeking just a few stunning and unique images of their new cherub. These sessions are also special because they're under an hour long so you're in and out of the studio really quickly! 

Grady's Little Sitter Session at 7 Months Old

Handsome Grady absolutely stole my heart! From the moment his mama brought him into the studio, he was all smiles. His captivating blue eyes and strawberry blond hair had me wanting to snuggle him the entire time! We did several setups, 5-6, and really showcased adorable outfits that are available to all of my clients. Full styling and accessories are provided for all little sitter sessions, including baby milestone photography.

First time parents Rachel & Brian | Family + Newborn Photography

Rachel and Brian were such a treat to photograph in studio! They visited when their little girl was just under a week old. I was completely impressed with them, too! Mom is a pediatrician and just finished her residency, right when having a new baby! They even were in the middle of closing on their house and moving just a few short days later. Talk about super parents, huh? For their parent portion, Mom wore a stunning blush top that looks lovely against the white light; Dad wore a classic blue button up. Adorned with an ivory wrap and soft, muted pink headband, their little lass is the perfect bundle of joy. Mom and Dad booked the 'petite' option on my pricing guide. This is the perfect collection for first time parents who would like lovely images such as mom with baby, dad with baby, and parents together with baby.

Aria at 7 Days Fresh | New Earth side Arrival

It's no secret that Houston Newborn Photography is my specialty and where I thrive! Nothing gives me as much joy as working with babies who are less than a month old; preserving this time for parents is incredibly rewarding and I cannot believe I call this my full-time job! Parent of being one of the best Houston Newborn Photographers (2016-2018) is offering beautiful setups that are not only unique and timeless but also showcase baby in the most precious of ways! Baby in a bucket is part of every session I do. Aria weighs just over 7 pounds and has a head full of gorgeous dark brown hair. Her tiny fingers, button nose, and sweet lips truly are stunning.

Heidi | 8 Days old at 6 pounds

Beautiful Heidi visited at 8 days old and her session featured tons of naked bean bag posing, which was Mom's preference. The main color in her session was aquamarine with teal accents. Her session is special because all of my newborn props are hand-crafted by incredible vendors all over the world! This headband, for instance, is from the UK and is from a great gal called Created by Carli. Her items are impeccable; while they are an investment, they set newborn sessions apart through creativity, unique looks, and also they're dainty and petite. My preference is for all the styling to fit my brand which is rustic, classic, dreamy, timeless. 

Lily Rose | 8 pounds & 7 days old

Lily Rose is a completely gorgeous baby girl! At over 8 pounds, technically nearly 9, she was so squishy and chubby! Her cheeks and beautiful features are perfection! I adore this setup of her, which features cream, ivory, lace, and a wooden rustic bowl because we're able to see her face, hands, toes, and she looks completely at peace. When working with new arrivals, such as precious newborn babies, the sessions are very laid back and serene. Your baby should never be in distress or crying. I have years of experience and pride myself on finishing my sessions in 2 hours or less. 

Baby girl M | Lovely Lilac & Lavender 

Baby girl M came for her newborn session at just over a week old. Weighing 6 pounds and having a breathtaking head full of hair, this little lady was the perfect newborn session! She slept beautifully for me and rocked each and every one of her poses. Her color scheme showcases many purple tones such as lavender and lilac. Soft, muted, classic. The quintessential colors for a dainty little lady! Her session was also a favorite of mine because her parents are long time clients! I've been working with them for years, so it was really fun to catch up with them during their fall family session, Mom's outdoor, natural light maternity session, and then see them again for the posed newborn appointment. 

Michelle & Jeff | Baby Plan Membership Clients

Michelle and Jeff were great to have in studio! On top of being wonderful and sweet, they're also baby plan membership clients with a maternity session add-on. This means they secured an outdoor, natural light pregnancy portraiture session, posed in-studio newborn photos, and I'll also see them for their little girl's 7 month sitter session and even a 12 month cake smash & splash! You may enjoy seeing their maternity session featuring two adorable fur siblings!
