Simple and Elegant Couples Maternity Session by Sarah Borchgrevink

Houston TX Maternity & Newborn Photographer | Natural Light and On Location Pregnancy Portraits for Expecting Couples and Families 

“Making the decision to have a baby is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” - Elizabeth Stone

Good morning on this cloudy Saturday! Thanks for stopping by my blog. If you have not been here before, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sarah, and I am full time Houston Photographer with a succinct focus on pregnancy and maternity portraits, newborn baby photography and outdoor family sessions. I encompass all milestones for Houston families and children, too. This in mind, today's post previews one of my stunning maternity clients! She is also scheduled for a custom newborn session, so I'm pretty excited to see her and her sweet husband in just a few short months.

For our time together, we met early in the morning, right at sunrise. We shot in Cypress Texas at a favorite location of mine. Early morning portraiture sessions are always some of my favorites simply because the light is soft. While evening light is lovely, too, morning sets a different tone. Her stunning gown looks fantastic against the green foilage. In Houston, our weather is warm most of the year (it does get into the 80's during the winter, haha) so her gown reflects her spring due date. 

For all of my maternity sessions, I encourage your spouse to participate. They are a huge part of your story and documenting the love between a couple expecting their first baby is truly extraordinary. Of course, if you have other children, too, they're welcome to participate as well. In that case, it's honestly a family session with emphasis on the baby bump. 

This sweet couple was wonderful to work with. They're kind, relaxed and kept me smiling the entire session. I loved hearing about their daily life, how they met, where they work and some of their favorite hobbies or past times. We chatted about their nursery, where she's delivering, and of course I asked about her sister, who's own maternity and newborn photos I documented. It's the biggest compliment when you refer your family or friends to my professional services. As a small busines owner, word of mouth is a huge part of our work!

One of my favorite aspects to their session are the leaves. Since we live in Houston, we don't really get a true autumn; but the wind was gentle that morning and softly flickered the leaves around them. They gently fell and just added a lovely texture to the rustic wooden bridge.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed viewing the outdoor and natural maternity session! Come back in a few months so you may see the posed newborn session we'll be doing!

Favorite Family Session of 2016 | So Much Love and Joy to Share

Family Portrait Photographer providing natural light, outdoor sessions for families, children and babies in the Greater Houston Area. 

“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood – finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.” — Jodi Picoult

Greetings! Thanks for stopping by!. As always, I'm super excited to see you've taken the time to view one of the sessions that grace my blog. As a Houston TX Portrait Photographer, I specialize in newborn and family photography. My specialization stems from one simple fact: I delight in capturing your joy. Photographing your family milestones is an absolute honor. Family photos are priceless and treasured heirlooms.

I'd love to introduce this amazing family session to you! When booking a session with me, I proudly offer several natural light and outdoor locations for you to select from. All of my sessions feature ethereal, golden light in order to showcase family bonds and connections. I think of how the images will be displayed in your home - this is how I design your collection.

Moreover, sometimes parents express a little bit of worry about the session. What do they wear? How do they act? What if they feel a little awkward? As your photographer, have no fear. I seamlessly guide and pose you throughout the session. I give clear direction in order to develop natural, organic connections between you and your children, family or partner. While it's nice to have images of everyone looking at the camera, I also adore photos in which you're interacting together. Snuggle those babies, look into their eyes - see them for who they are. Let me capture your joy. Let me honor and preserve parenthood for you. And as a mama, I know how fleeting time is. This is why all of my portraiture collections encourage parents to participate in the session, even for newborn babies, maternity or child milestones. 

And finally - each session is different. They're all a modern story, crafted with love. Each family has their own spirit and traditions; I'd be honored to tell your story. This in mind, here are a few of my favorite images from our time together. 

Thanks again for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoyed viewing one of the latest outdoor and natural light family sessions I photographed. I also hope you visit again. If you're curious about your own session, there are some handy dandy details below.

"The joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard time and frustrating times. But amid the challenges there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction."

Welcome to the world, sweet Chevelle! Perhaps one of my favorite aspects of being a Houston Newborn Photographer is the design of your custom newborn portraits. For instance, when booking a photography session, the images are designed with your color preferences in mind. I often pull inspiration from the colors in your home and nursery themes. It is important to me you adore the collection and I pride myself on offering a plethora of designs, colors, textures, textiles and of course custom made bonnets, headbands, etc. For my time with this beautiful baby girl, Mama expressed she adores pink, cream, gold and even a little mint here and there.

The following are my favorite images from my time with this lovely family. I hope you enjoy viewing!
