A daughter is a miracle that never ceases to be miraculous...full of beauty and forever beautiful...loving and caring and truly amazing.

A brand new baby girl! Let's all take a moment to sigh; her cuteness, her soft baby features - they're simply stunning. Please allow me to introduce this petite princess to you! Her session represents all things girly and feminine; the color scheme reflects a few of my favorite tones such as blush, cream, white, and lace. Through organic posing mimicking the womb, this precious little love is showcased.

Newborn Portraiture should feel authentic. Seeing the images should give you a feeling of happiness as you witness the ethereal beauty of a brand new baby. This in mind, all of my sessions are about baby; by removing distracting props I show your baby for who she is. Her fingers. Her toes. Her tufts of hair; her lashes, and creamy skin, and her curly nature. 

Big yawn! This is when Baby settles into the session. I adore capturing images in which baby is stretching, yawning, or searching for nourishment; this is when baby is most part of the world. Do not worry - all of my newborn sessions provide plenty of time for changing, nursing, wrapping, cuddling and caring for baby to ensure she has a positive experience. 

An antique wash bucket is the perfect prop! It's a timeless color but also can be styled for either a baby boy or girl. This sweet girl is only 5 pounds so I placed her ever so softly upon the textiles and let her sleep. She did want to hang out and party, which is never a problem. It just means we give her the time she needs to soothe and fall asleep so we may pose her beautifully.

The vintage cradle is a fantastic floor prop, too! I love the rich tones; it pairs well with neutrals or color, which makes it quite versatile. 

Oh, sweet girl! Your smile fills my heart with joy! 

Many thanks for stopping by my blog to see this beautiful baby! I hope you come again! Should you be interested in your own photography session, please peruse the details below for more nifty information you may find helpful. I look forward to hearing from you!

Feminine and Timeless Newborn Girl Themed Session | All Things Girly

Houston TX Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink 

“Maternal love, like an orange tree, buds and blossoms and bears at once. When a woman puts her finger for the first time into the tiny hand of her baby and feels that helpless clutch which tightens her very heartstrings, she is born again with her newborn child.”  ~ Kate Douglas Wiggin

As I sit here looking at one of the latest newborn baby girl's I had in front of my camera, I cannot help but feel blessed. As a Houston Newborn Photographer, working with your precious cherub little one's is a monumental responsibility because they're only a newborn for two weeks. That's right - two weeks. In a blink of an eye they change so quickly and it's not until you hold a brand new baby do you realize that time is truly fleeting. We're told this our entire life, but it still doesn't make it any easier. The newborn time period is cherished because this is when your baby is fresh, new and pure. The world welcomes them with open arms and a newborn portrait session is the perfect way to honor and preserve your wee one!

All of my newborn sessions have one goal: to showcase all that is newborn. This includes curly poses such as wraps and soft textiles. I also provide everything for your session, from start to finish, unless you have any special family heirlooms you'd like included. In that case, simply lay them out for me and I'll be sure to incorporate them for you.

For my time with this beautiful baby girl, I focused on utilizing a soft color scheme that would not overwhelm her delicate nature. I adore muted colors because they look lovely against baby's skin and they also are both timeless and classic. This ensures the images forever look perfect as they grace your walls and can be passed down. Your sessions are family heirloom you'll treasure!

She has the most magnificent baby rolls! Her little arms, hands, ears and profile are beautiful and capturing these details will certainly make you smile. I like to showcase many diverse angles during your time with me so we may ensure all of baby's features are perfectly preserved. 

And of course, baby is gently handled throughout the entire session. She is guided ever so carefully to ensure the utmost safety. I also listen to baby's cues and pay attention to her body language to ensure she feels comfortable in the poses. If baby dislikes being on their tummy, for instance, we switch things up, but if baby really "settles" into a pose, such as the tooshie one below, we spend a little more time here to make the most of each set up.

Sometimes I'm lucky enough to get eye contact with baby! This is also my favorite bonnet. I bring it to every single session because it is appropriate for either gender and is simple. The props should enhance your baby - not detract or be distracting. This sweet little bonnet, for instance, frames baby's face beautifully and shows off the chubby cheeks, bee stung lips, and little button nose! Her delicate fingers softly hold a stuffed bear and this is everything I could hope for in a session - just the perfect little baby girl!

And finally, the floor props are a lovely way to end the session! I provide two set ups, unless you have a specific prop from your home you'd like to use, such as the wagon presented below. For family heirlooms or restored items, these can be lovely as they had a special dynamic to your gallery due to the sentimental value. The antique scale, however, is from my own prop collection and sweet C looks perfect as the mint surrounds her and is layered.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoyed viewing this session. Please come again!

Oh, Lola Grace! Your newborn session is absolutely sweet as can! At 8 days old, you're so precious from your button nose, full lips, and dark hair. This in mind, she looks marvelous upon soft textile colors such as a blush pink or a muted lavender. For my time with, I focused on simple posing to show off the curly nature of a newborn baby girl! 

I like to use a variety of wraps and tieback pieces for fresh, new babies. They add lovely texture to the images and also adorn baby beautifully. 

To end my time with this beautiful baby girl, we used one of my favorite floor props - this antique wooden box. The mint looks perfect on her because it contrasts so nicely with her perfect skin. A variety of camera angles makes each set up truly shine!
