Houston Family & Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, specializes in custom newborn portraits in Cypress Texas and surrounding areas.
A brand new baby boy! What could be a better way to spend my morning than hanging out with this handsome little guy? Welcome to the world, Tate. When I photographed his posed newborn session, in Cypress TX, he was 7 days fresh and new. His sweet mama booked his session well in advance so I had plenty of time to design his blue, grey, and white newborn session. His nursery is absolutely stunning (so much, in fact, that I'll be previewing the lifestyle family session his parents opted to do in another post).
Here are some of my favorite photos for my time with him! Keep on scrolling to read more about a baby session at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography.
First thing first: color! Everything in your session is provided by me. With the exception of family heirlooms such as sentimental items, you have full access to all of my props. Newborn sessions are also fully inclusive: this means aside from the five custom set ups I provide, those of which reflect your color preferences and decorative taste, there is also family, sibling, and of course images of mom with baby, dad with baby, and then the rest of the focus is baby. As mentioned earlier in this post, Tate's parents chose to do a lifestyle family session instead of traditional posed newborn family photos, so I'll be featuring his incredible nursery and decor (plus family images, ha!) in the next blog post I do. I'll link this one, too, so you don't miss the fantastic details. Since T's nursery is decorated in soft blues, royal blues, navy blues, slate grey, antique whites and ivories, and then of course a heather grey, I truly wanted the session to reflect all the masculine and timeless tones of his room.
This is my favorite vintage bucket! It can be styled for a boy newborn or little lass newborn baby girl, too! I also provided the floor drop, seen above, that is rustic pine.
Let me state the obvious: I LOVE TO WRAP BABIES! My newborn photography is based around different types of wraps that reflect womb-like posing you'd find baby in while growing in mama's tummy. The wraps add texture and interest to the photos, plus they're gorgeous. And babies love it. Oh, how they love to be snuggled, wrapped, and then they let me mold them into beautiful art pieces. While I am very patient with baby, wrapping is my go to.
At the very end of the session, if baby is sleeping wonderfully, I'll do naked shots. These are very modest and sweet. I add bonnets, perhaps a teddy bear, and ensure baby is carefully guided from pose to pose so he is never in distress.
Macro details are some of my favorite during the session! I adore photographing all the smallest of features that make your baby unique. Their ears, toes, hairlines, profile, eyelashes, lips, cheeks, fingers, etc - I love it all. As a Houston Newborn Photographer, and mama to three little girls, I know of all the hours you'll spend rocking baby, perhaps nursing or feeding, and just looking at their sweet cherub face. You memorize their characteristics and remember dreaming of who they'll be. Who will they grow into? Who will baby look like? You see the best parts of yourself and partner in baby; it's a joy. This is why the macro details matter - they are the heart of what makes your baby who she or he is and what differentiates them.
Thanks again for stopping by my blog! I'd love to connect with you or chat in person about customizing your own session. It would be an honor to work together. All my joy to you! I hope you visit again soon.
Warmly,
Sarah
