Baby’s Unique Features| Macro Details Included for a Soulful Gallery

Creating Stunning works of Newborn Fine Art through the Use of Impeccable Macro Images

Breathtaking images of your sweet little baby

Before I was a mama to four little ones, I thought all babies were the same once born. However, now that I specialize in posed newborn portraiture, I can attest this is anything but true. Newborns are absolutely perfectly, wonderfully and fearfully made. They are all unique, individual and even from the first few days old, have their own spirit setting them apart.

This inspires me to focus on macro images in all of my posed sessions. You see, having a soulful final gallery is of the utmost importance to me. I set your galleries apart by including unique color schemes, cozy wrapping, newborn safety, and also focusing on spectacular macro photos of your precious bundle of joy. 

Parents often ask, "what's a macro image?" The answer is simple! Macro images are a type of photography. The skill is photographing the objects very close to the lens, thus showcasing all of the special details. You use a special kind of lens for this, as a typical portrait or telephoto lens cannot do the trick. Here's the Canon 100 mm f/2.8L professional grade I keep on hand in my studio.

Macro images make my mama heart so happy because this makes you baby's features truly unique! Your baby has their own profile, set of toes, sweet chubby chin, and darling eyelashes. Their tufts of hair and lips beckon to be photographed. Your little one will never be this small. the newborn stage is only the first few weeks of life. Macros are included to preserve this stunning time in your life. You will look back on your gallery and enjoy reminsicing over the time in which baby is just becommong part of this world.

When working with fresh, new and gorgeous babies I adore creating amazing works of newborn fine art! This means the session is not a handful of snapshots but wonderfully finessed newborn posing. Part of the final product, however, is achieved by using interesting color schemes. For instance, in the case of precious baby girl Mia, who visited my Houston Newborn Photography studio at 7 days fresh, we pulled inspiration from jewel tones such as emerald and amethyst. 

Color, you see, is what makes for the best sessions! The contrast with a newborn's skin creates a creamy, polished look. While neutrals are what is currently popular, I urge parents to consider colors that showcase the beauty of their newborn. Light pink and blush, for instance, blend with baby's skin, but the vibrancy of a deep, vivid color is how you can elevate your newborn sessions.

Here are some of my favorite photos of my time with beautiful Mia! 

As always, thanks for visiting the blog to see a quick preview of stunning baby portraits! I hope you liked seeing two color examples for creating unique, dreamy, and beautiful posing for a brand new baby!

Houston Newborn Photography including Family & Parent Posing | My Style

What to expect from family and parent photos of your baby's first professional photography session with top-ranked photographer Sarah Borchgrevink.

When booking a posed newborn session with me, you're securing an all-inclusive package meaning you select your package based on the number of digital files you'd like to receive. Sessions always include design, time and talent, retouching, and a specific number of digital files you may treasure forever.

The 'wrapped newborn collection' has the option to add family and sibling images. The 'petite' collection includes parent images with option to add sibling images. Finally, the 'full' collections includes family + sibling with no additional fees. All packages come with full resolution images, too, so you may print them as large or small as you wish, as many times, at some really great lab recommendations I have for you! 

One of the number one questions parents asks when booking is if they can be in the photos. Be sure to select a package that includes these or let me know if you'd like to add them onto the newborn session. I will provide you with some nice outfit ideas and also lead and guide you throughout the entire time together. You'll receive a newborn styling questionnaire + a posed prep guide telling you step by step instructions. I promise you're in good hands! 

After family photos, baby is the star! Everything is provided for your session, but the newborn of course, ha! Just bring your diaper bag while I joyfully photograph your precious bundle of joy. 

Sweet & Simple so baby is showcased

During the parent and family posing, my style is natural yet lifestyle in nature meaning the photos will showcase the love you have for baby. I always include a few of you looking at the camera and smiling, but we also like to have tender sweet moments such as kissing baby on the forehead, smiling at your spouse, and just the beauty of you taking baby's features in, marveling in the little life. 

I use this custom wood wall in my studio as well as the white, sheer curtains for two different looks.
