Baby John & Parent Posing | Newborn Family Photography

Baby Boy John, at 10 days old, visited Sarah Borchgrevink Photography for a family newborn portraiture session.

6 pounds | Welcome to the world, John

Greetings! Good morning to you! As always, I like to begin by thanking you for stopping by my blog. I'm glad you're here. If you've found your way here, chances are you're interested in perusing a newborn session and reading about a specific top to do with my portraiture work. Today's session is really fun because it focuses on parent posing in my studio. Let's get started.

FULLY INCLUSIVE NEWBORN COLLECTIONS

At Sarah Borchgrevink Photography, I joyfully offer fully inclusive sessions. There are three newborn collections on my pricing guide to reflect different budgets. You may be interested in viewing them here:

• Mini Wrapped Newborn Collection

• Petite Newborn Collection

• Full Newborn Collection

Fully inclusive collections mean there are no hidden fees or additional purchases required during our time together. Your investment is one flat rate for time, talent, session design, retouching of your high resolution digital files. Following your session, you're presented with a private, password protected gallery that is yours to download, share, enjoy and print on your own. 

Sweet, timeless & connected family posing

Gone are the days of formal, stiff or boring posing. Instead, sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning they're about connecting, feeling natural, and focusing on your spouse or precious baby. As a mama, I can tell you that you will treasure your family images because this is a time when baby is so small, so sweet, so new to the world she literally fits in your hand.

When booking, you're also given a newborn prep guide. It contains all sorts of nifty instructions, information about my Houston Newborn Portrait Studio, outfit suggestions, and also a few suggestions for hair and makeup, should this interest you. I like you to feel fully prepared and know what's going to happen.

The following are some of my favorite poses from my time with this sweet couple. Congratulations on your beautiful boy. The D family is simply stunning! To see little one's individual portion of his session, see his sweet, neutral newborn session!

Outdoor Family First Birthday Session Cake Smash in Houston

The M Family's Natural Light & Outdoor Family Cake Smash Combination in honor of Baby Boy Jeremy turning the big one.

Here's what Jeremy's parents had to say about their baby plan membership to Sarah Borchgrevink Photography:

Sarah is absolutely fantastic. Not only are her pictures superb, but her professionalism, personality, and all around demeanor are top notch. We are baby plan clients and at our of  sessions Sarah has been very easy to work with and has taken our specific likes and wants and incorporated them into our sessions. The best part by far is her turn around time. At our sessions we received our online gallery within a week of our session! I highly recommend Sarah for newborn and family photography!

Friends, good morning! I am excited to blog this incredibly adorable children's session in which we did a family + birthday photo shoot for one of my longtime clients. The M family first contacted me while Mom was pregnant; they booked a baby plan membership, which is a wonderful way to preserve the first year of life for your precious little one.

The Baby Plan Membership is any of the following combination:

• In studio posed newborn session (wrapped mini, petite or full collection) of your choice
• Any combination of 3, 6, 9 or 12 month milestone session

In this case, this sweet couple chose to do a full newborn collection as well as 6 and 12 month session. This is the most popular combination since many parents see the most difference in growth between newborn and 6 months; followed by 6 and 12 month differences. Here are some of my favorite images from our sunrise session.

Family Photos Take Place First 

Family sessions are lifestyle in nature, meaning I embrace the spirit of your family. I encourage you to play with your kiddo, interact with your spouse and feel at ease. Family photos take place at the beginning so that little one has time to warm up to me. Plus, baby will be smashing a cake after the family part so this makes sure baby is clean for your family images, ha!

Individual Photos of Baby Are after family

The milestone portion of your child's session follows the family set ups. Milestone portion is where we focus on developmental changes since our last session together. For 12 months, it's usually standing or walking, pulling up, clapping their hands, smiling, and really showcasing their personality.

Let Them Eat Cake

After baby's individual portion of milestone images, we then focus on the cake smash aspect of your session. I provide timeless and vintage inspired props for this session, but also ensure baby is the focus of our time together, too. I do not like distracting aspects in the images so props are kept to a minimum so baby will be the shining star. Examples of props I may bring as things like an antique high chair, quilt, crate, etc. Due to allergy purposes, I have parents bring the cake. You may go as festive or minimalist as you like. :-) Outdoor cake smash or first birthday sessions always take place right around sunrise or sunset, too, for optimal lighting. You're given a location list to pick from so have no worries: I have lots of good options for you!

It's all in the details

An important aspect to me is the details of your session. I love showing off their little toes, messy hands, sweet up close shots of their faces, etc. While we do include many images of baby playing, exploring and checking out the cake, I adore showing all those precious moments Mamas are sure to love. Their little fingers, for instance, reaching for the cake is absolutely precious as can be! They're only little for a short time. Let them be small. This cake smash encourages them to be who they are and their personalities to shine through.

Posed Newborn Session Featuring Both Parents | Baby Boy Laksh

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers timeless, fresh and gorgeous newborn portraits. All collections come with family photos that reflect natural, authentic and candid posing as you welcome baby into your family.

Here's what this couple had to say about their photography experience with Sarah:

Sarah's quality of work and professionalism speaks for itself. Very satisfied and highly recommend her expertise in new born photography.

Baby Boy Laksh | 7 days new & 6 pounds of newborn goodness

Good morning to you, friends! Today's blog post is full of so much sweetness my heart could probably burst. I'd like to begin by welcoming you to my little 'ol blog. Here is where I showcase precious, squishy babies, radiant baby bumps and adorable families. My studio is where most of my sessions take place, since I specialize in newborn portraiture, however, I do offer on location, natural light sessions, too! I like to think it's the best of both worlds. 

This adorable family contacted me to book their newborn collection when baby was just a few days old. I was happy to offer them three dates. While most parents book in the second trimester, I sometimes have last minute openings and welcome all inquiries even if baby is already earth side. Newborn sessions do take place in the first two weeks of life, give or take a few days, and so it's important to contact me as early as possible.

Baby Boy Laksh was 6 pounds when he visited my studio. He slept beautifully for me and his parents did a fantastic job prepping him! Mom is absolutely gorgeous and motherhood looks amazing on her! 

When working with you, I like to think of your baby as the focal point. I always wrap your little one for family portraits, which take place right at the beginning of your session. I have taken workshops on both newborn safety and posing to ensure baby is well cared for during our session. I also use professional lighting and camera gear so you're sure to have the very best.

Most portraits are shot elbow up to ensure baby is the focus of your image. I give plenty of direction and pose baby so you feel secure. I also make sure I do not walk away until you have baby snuggled in your arms. 

Most of your photos are lifestyle in nature, meaning they're more about iterating together as a family, however, I often include 1-2 images where everyone is smiling and looking at the camera because grandparents like this set up. It's nice to gift some prints to your parents, too! 

The rest of these images are my favorites from his parent portion of his session.

I hope you enjoy viewing. Wishing you and your sweet family all my joy and warmth today!
