Good morning! I hope you're having a lovely day and I appreciate you taking the time to stop by my blog and check out recent sessions. Today I am previewing a beautiful baby bump! This session is pure joy; for instance, I had this sweet bunch meet me at a local park located in Cypress called Telge. The early morning light is beautiful and adds a stunning element to the portraits. The light is one of the most important parts of a session; it sets the tone, mood and adds dynamic power to the image.

Moreover, maternity sessions are especially near and dear to me because I'm also a mama. When photographing a pregnant client, I especially want to preserve your bump in the most simple yet radiant ways. The curve of your belly; your hands gently cradling your growing baby. I like their to be a softness surrounding the session. Peace. Serenity. Stillness. This is everything maternity portraits should encompass.

This in mind, here are a few of my favorite images. I hope you enjoy! xoxo!

I'd love to photograph your baby bump or family. Let's chat!

Good morning, folks! Today I am looking forward to previewing one of my latest outdoor, natural light maternity sessions for you. Possibly my favorite aspect of documenting your pregnancy is embracing warm, golden light. My sessions take place during this time as it's a magical hour and when the light is most soft and ethereal.

Moreover, there's a unique quality to pregnancy. It's magnificent! It's when your heart is filled with such joy as your carry your little angel. Your imagine his or her little soul; the tenderness surrounding the new baby and what their face will look like. You can almost hear her little coos or feel his soft tufts of hair against your hand as your lightly brush his hair. 

Before showing off Mom and her beautiful baby bump, let's take a quick peek at her newborn session. Baby Samantha is perfect as can be and it was a delight to photograph her!

Now that you've seen a preview of her session, let's show off Mom's bump. These were taken the day before she went into labor so I'm glad we were able to capture this special time for her.

I'd love to photograph your baby bump or precious newborn!

Houston Portrait Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink captures all things baby bump, newborn and family milestones.

Ahhhh, golden hour. My favorite time of the day. The magic hour. The inspirational hour. This is where I squeal and clap my hands and feel creativity. My sessions take place during the time shortly after sunrise or before sunset. The light is soft and pure; it embodies a stillness and creates a stunning canvas. It's my favorite tool  to utilize. 

I've been looking forward to previewing this beautiful couple. They're expecting their first baby soon and have entrusted me with the honor of documenting their baby bump. For each maternity session I photograph, I strive to create emotion and capture the love between Mom and Dad.

When you're waiting to meet your precious baby, it's an exciting time. You dream about his or her little features; her button nose or his cherub lips. You imagine Baby's weight in your arms. 

I'm looking forward to designing the newborn session. I adore incorporating details from your nursery or perhaps sentimental items such as family heirlooms or even little gifts from loved ones. This hand made "O" for example represents the name of their baby and will be part of the color scheme for the custom newborn session taking place soon!

The little booties are darling! The golden light makes me so happy, too, as it graces mom's bump and showcases love.

I always encourage Dad to participate in the photos. If you have other kiddos, too, this is always lovely as well. We had a lot of fun at this session simply because it was quiet at the Coles Crossing location and I really had a succinct focus on showing the love between Mom and Dad. 

Isn't Mom beautiful? She has a radiant glow about her. I used my 200 mm lens here so she's the focus of the frame and we can highlight her beautiful belly. 

I like this location also because of the bridge. It's wonderful for evening because the sun sets right behind the water. The bridge is a lovely platform for adding structure to the images, too, and lends a timeless, classic feel so you may hang the images year around.

I finished the session with the sun directly behind Mom. By then, the light was soft and still; it radiates serenity and peace. 

There's nothing wrong with a few candid shots during your maternity session. I like you to have fun and be who you are. Thank you to the M family! I am truly looking forward to meeting your little girl and cannot wait to work with you again. I hope you treasure these images for years to  come.

I'd love to document your baby bump! Here are some additional details you may find helpful:
