Cozy Wrapping & Family Photos for Gemma's Studio Baby Session

“I highly recommend Sarah to capture these precious memories! We did a newborn session and I couldn’t be more pleased with the session and our pictures! Sarah is amazing at what she does... she is professional, patient, sweet, and makes you and your baby feel so comfortable. She has such unique, adorable props which make your pictures stand out from the rest! Her wrapping technique is perfect and she is so gentle and safe with your baby. She gives you all the info you need to prepare you and baby for your session. Absolutely no hidden fees and VERY reasonably priced. She is also quick with communication. Such beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever of our sweet girl!”

Hi, friends! Today's blog post features a recent newborn girl, Gemma, who visited by studio. If this is your first time here, welcome! I'm Sarah! Located in Houston, my studio is near 290 and Barker Cypress. It's the perfect place for your baby's first professional photography session! I specialize in the custom art of posed newborn images, however, I also offer a truly lovely baby plan membership, which is the perfect plan to document you baby's first year of life. The baby plan is only available to newborn clients. :-) 

Since I take 15 due dates per month, I like to feature my favorite sessions on my blog! Today's stunning newborn is named Gemma. Her sweet parents visited from Spring, Texas - just north of Houston, and were a complete dream to have in studio. From the moment mom inquired, I knew she was the perfect fit. She kept me laughing the whole session, was so friendly and personable, and also had a warm spirit. I truly have the best clients!

During my custom designed baby sessions, you can expect to see the following:

• Family photos

• Parent images such as mom and baby as well as dad and baby

• 2-3 floor props for baby

• Stunning macro details of baby (up close shots of their features)

• Huge list of props and accessories from which you may select

• Bean bag posing (newborn safety is always implemented)

• 2-3 wrapping styles (check out my favorite ways to wrap a newborn baby)

Here are some of my favorite photos from their time in studio! 

Once we finished the family photos, Gemma slept wonderfully for me! She truly was the perfect baby, which makes for the best newborn photos! At 8 days fresh, she was nursing like a champ and able to get into a very deep sleep. Of course, sometimes parents are a little worried baby won't do well during their session, but have no fear: you receive an awesome and very detailed prep guide from me so you're able to know exactly what to expect.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog! I hope you liked seeing all the gorgeous, soft and organic neutrals during Gemma's studio newborn session. :-)

Sneak Preview: Asher Rocked His First Birthday + Smash Cake Session

Asher's outdoor, natural light first birthday photos by Sarah Borchgrevink Photography

Sneak Preview of Mr. Personality | Happy Birthday!

Good morning, friends! Today's blog post is all about previewing highlight from baby boy Asher's outdoor, natural light cake smash session! He is a long time client of mine, so of course I have been looking forward to working with him again! Friday happens to be his birthday, too, so of course I am very excited to showcase his adorable session.

The first year of life is exciting for new parents! There are many fun milestones you anticipate such as meeting baby for the first time and welcoming baby into your life, baby learning to sit up and crawl, and then of course baby starting to walk and even say a few words! For instance, Asher can now say "da da" and "uh oh"! It was beyond precious; his soulful eyes would look at me and his sweet little voice would call out, "Uh oh!" Truly melting.

For our time together, we chose a rustic and natural location in Houston. We chose a sunset time since this is when baby is most happy. I also have to give a huge shout out to Asher's mama: she was so prepared and organized! Not only did she bring the grandparents to help, she even beat me to the location, lol! She provided this adorable wooden bucket, seen below on the bridge photos, and picked out the most delicious, darling cake.

Nevertheless, here are a few shots from his session! 

As always, thank you for visiting my blog! I am thrilled you took the time to preview Asher's first birthday session and hope you enjoyed the images! If you are currently pregnant and are considering custom portraiture of your little one, my baby plan membership is a wonderful option for new parents. Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to recieve more information on the baby plan.

Bringing Your Fur Baby to the Studio | Houston Newborn Photographer

Specializing in newborn portraits in the Houston area, Sarah Borchgrevink Photography offers the option to bring your fur baby for the sibling portion of your studio portraiture session.

“My husband and I absolutely loved working with Sarah! She was so accommodating and so personable. We wanted our newborn photo shoot to include our dog, and she was even ok with that! We were very surprised, as many other photographers refused that request. Sarah is warm and inviting, and the entire experience was pain-free. She was so good with the baby, and most importantly, the photos came out amazing! We immediately used them for our birth announcement/Christmas card, and we are excited to work with her in the future for yearly family shoots. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!”

Hi, there! Welcome! As a professional newborn photographer, I pride myself on offering a top notch portraiture experience that's both easy going and fantastic. Working with new parents and their darling bundles of joy is an absolute honor; part of offering a wonderful customer service driven experience is listening to their needs and being open to making their dream image happen. In this case, when Mom and Dad contacted me, they asked if I'm open to pets in studio. Fur babies are often the first baby; they're part of the family. 

I am happy to accommodate requests, such as incorporating the family pet into your session. 

If you'd like to bring your pet to a photography session, a few things to note:

• let me know in advance
• share details about the pet's personality
• have a grandparent or friend be available to take dog home after "sibling" portion

The sweet pup was very calm and laid back. When adding him into the family and sibling portion of their session, I used the big white bed. This is a good option for safety. Mom and Dad also sat right next to the baby and pup; I simply cloned them out of the images in processing.

Followed by the sibling "fur baby" portion, we moved onto the normal styling you'll find in a typical newborn session I document. Since you're already here, check out some super cute images of baby boy Jacob!
