Mommy & Me | Spring Photography Session in Cypress, TX

Good morning!

As a photographer, my favorite season is spring. Here in Cypress we don't have a large array of seasons; we seem to just have "hot and humid" and "more-hot-and-more-humid", however, this spring has been somewhat mild. I took advantage of the gorgeous weather to photograph Ashley, a super cool mom, and her two little ones.

They trekked out to Cypress for their golden hour mommy and me session! I don't offer mini sessions very often, but I *did* open up three spots, and was thrilled to work with this cute bunch! The session was about 15 minutes long, but we still had a lot of fun in the short time. 

Thanks for coming out! I hope to work with y'all again. :-)

Home Lifestyle Session | The M Family | Cypress family photographer

Good morning, folks!

I recently announced via the blog (www.sarahborchgrevinkphotography.com) that I am proud to be offering lifestyle and documentary style sessions. As explained in my last blog post, these sessions are all about embracing the spirit of your family and celebrating you simply by being you! These photos are based around emotion, connections, and family bonds. Moreover, as a photographer, my job is to hang out in the background, and capture you doing normal things your family may do on a typical day.

I’m excited to present the “M” family to y’all! They are my first in home and lifestyle family session. They’re a cute bunch out of Cypress, and were a blast to photograph! My favorite part of the session is how laid back the entire family is; I was there for about an hour, and I wanted the session to not feel rushed or stressed, but instead like they were just hanging out with me. Because it’s important for me to not intrude, I started by meeting the little ones, seeing their toys, and asking them to show me the sort of games they like to play together. The kiddos had me smiling the entire time as, like typical siblings, they played sweetly together and also patiently waited their turn to show me all their neat toys!

After this set up, I had Mom spend one on one time with each child, perhaps just holding or hugging her precious little. I mirrored a similar dynamic with Dad, too. A little later on, everyone had a dance party in the living room (so fun!), and then the kiddos took horsey rides on dad’s back. We finished up with hugs and snuggles and playing in the kiddos play room.

My favorite aspect of a home lifestyle session is how the family is surrounded by all of their own things; it’s your environment, it’s the place you’re raising your kiddos. It’s very special. I truly believe this adds a fun dynamic to the session and makes it so much more personable. 

Sometimes, when you’re in the midst of parenting, you may not realize the smallest of moments are one you’ll cherish or fondly remember. Often, life is moving so fast. And that’s why I adore lifestyle sessions and am now offering them. Candid and more documentary photographs are the ones I most love of my own children and this is where I feel I am offering a genuine, pure, and fresh product.

I cannot thank the beautiful M family enough! Thank for you for having me in your home! I hope you cherish these photos for years to come!

{The L Family} Cypress, TX photographer for families

If you follow me or perhaps occasionally check in on my natural light and on location photography work, you know my sessions begin at either sunrise or sunset. This is when the light is soft, most flattering. I love both times of the day, but there's something special about sunrise. A stillness in the air as the world begins to awake; the sun dances through the trees, and a softness envelopes the session. A quiet nuance adds magic. 

I am excited to present the L family. As you can see, they're a family of five: Mom, Dad, little one and of course their two impossibly adorable fur babies.

One of my favorite details about the session is the weather. Although it was 38 degrees outside, the sun was shining, so it added a touch of warmth. Paired with winter clothing, we had a wonderful session with beautiful, yummy light! 

If you look closely, you can see their breath within the air - I decided to leave this and not remove this in processing.

For the session, we kept the posing very laid back. I asked Mom and Dad to interact with Little One. She wasn't feeling very well during the session (but we didn't know that at the time). She still was a trooper and didn't shed a single tear! :-)

I love the interaction of Dad and Little One. He was excited to listen, and took direction very well. Families and children are my favorite subjects to photograph because I love the interaction. It brings me joy to see loving parents and happy children!

Mom is gorgeous! Her smile is radiant! She also has a beautiful spirit; a sense of calm about her, and she was wonderful to work with - so kind and patient!

Here's a little bit of Mommy and Little one love for you! Hugs and snuggles - the perfect way to start a morning!

I also took some time to work with Mom and Dad during the session. As parents, we so often forget about ourselves in the midst of all that there is to do. More often than not, one parent is behind the camera and that doesn't leave many photo opportunity between spouses. Because of this, I always spend 3-5 minutes with Mom and Dad, having them connect and remember why they fell in love - why they're building a beautiful life together, and to think about all that they've accomplished as a couple.

To finish the session, I spent some one on one time with Little One. She is so soulful - so serious. Her eyes are beautiful! Sweet, precious baby girl! You're almost one and so loved, so treasured! You're surrounded by an abundance of joy!
