Adorable Fishing Set Up for Posed Baby Photography

Welcome, friends! Today's blog post is especially helpful since many parents ask about bringing in special props from their homes. Sometimes, for instance, when a couple is expecting their first baby they receive sentimental items from friends at work, loved ones, and even grandparents, too. Moreover, parents will ask my studio policy on items from home. Have no fear: I am happy to incorporate your props in a manner that still reflects my rustic, natural, and timeless baby images.

Gone Fishing at 6 Days New

Darling Daniel, seen below, is a Baby Plan Membership client at Sarah Borchgrevink Photography! His sweet parents live right down the street from me, just outside of Cypress, TX. My newborn studio is the perfect fit for them because I have not only photographed many of their friends, I am super close to them so it made traveling a breeze. Daniel is their first baby and has brought much joy and love to their family! I am really looking forward to photographing his first year of life. Nevertheless, when booking their posed session, we chatted about styling and things Mom likes. She asked if I happened to have a fishing setup for newborn boy photos. I explained I did not, but I am happy to order something new as a surprise to Dad. Dad, you see, really likes to fish and here in the south it's something many men enjoy, a tradition passed down from father to son.

Nicholas | 6 Days Fresh

Baby boy Nicholas was a complete dream and joy to photograph! His parents booked a natural light, outdoor maternity session with me as well as a full posed newborn session. They're super kind and sweet! Like Daniel's session, previewed above, he is their first bundle of joy! Mom relayed a friend made a crochet fisherman set up for them, so I was absolutely happy to incorporate this into their bucket shot. I pair items from home with my own favorite floor props, such as a galvanized bucket, and dreamy, organic textiles, like the blue wrap seen below.

Parents Give Complete Creative Freedom | Artist's Color Choices

Houston Newborn Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers a large variety of props such as colorful textiles, natural organics, vintage-inspired pieces, and stunning accessories to complement your precious baby.

Greetings, friends! Today's blog post is a special one because it shares unique and creative newborn sessions. You see, as a professional baby portrait photographer, my studio is the perfect place to have your little one's first photos taken! I offer many affordable options with completely transparent pricing. Parents encounter no hidden fees or surprises when booking. Everything is a seamless, laid-back experience from the moment you contact me about securing your own appointment.

For instance, a styling questionnaire is given so parents may relay their color preferences to me. This, along with a newborn session prep guide, is given so you're sure to have an amazing session! However, sometimes parents tell me they have no color preferences or specific props in mind. They give me complete creative freedom, which is a huge treat! Having the option to pull anything is truly a wonderful way to be creative and provide some of the best Houston Newborn Photography images! I cannot thank my clients enough for entrusting me to work with your family.  

Let's get started on showcasing two recent sessions that made my heart sing! 

Joshua | 6 Days New

Joshua is the most handsome little dude! Weighing just over 7 pounds with a head full of gorgeous, dark and curly locks he truly is a gem! His sweet parents told me to choose everything for the session. This in mind, I pulled all things classic yet unique; shades of blue, spring greenery, rustic red, and antique buckets. I even made sure to pull a neutral as this compliments his skin perfectly! 

Joshua's session also reflects masculine newborn boy colors such as charcoal grey in the popular potato sack style of newborn wrapping. This is the super cute one where they look like a round little egg, ha! Parents always ask me how I am able to make them round like a basketball and I explain I learned this at a newborn workshop in Houston, TX. I do practice newborn safety with all of my petite clients so if you ever have a question about how a certain look is acheived please know I am an open book an completely transparent in all that I do. :-)

Aria | 5 Days Old

When Aria's parents booked her newborn appointment, they expressed complete trust in my preferences and relayed that they came to me for my professional opinion. Since I do photography newborn cherubs full time, for a living, this is a great idea since I know how colors will look under the lights, especially once we process the images in Photoshop.

For Aria, I pulled inspiration from her gorgeous skin tone! Her features are absolutely stunning: beautiful eyes, long lashes, and sweet cupid lips. She is an absolute beauty!

Aria's posed newborn session is a work of color art! You'll find many stunning tones such as a rich, vibrant purple and lilac lavendar as well as a fun spring time yellow, too! Adorned with custom headbands and tiebacks, she is the epitome of newborn grace and beauty! Her session was an absolute dream and she was such a joy to work with! Mom and Dad did an incredible job preparing her for the newborn session. They even brought grandma along to help, too! It takes a village, and I am so excited to have photographed this beautiful time for her parents.
