Kate’s Vintage & Organic Cake Smash | Cypress TX Child Portraits

Houston Photographer, Sarah Borchgrevink, offers an organic and vintage inspired baby plan membership to newborn clients. Kate's simple cake smash is a fun way to celebrate turning one.

Here's what Kate's Mama Had to say about her portraiture experience with Sarah:

“Sarah truly loves her work and it shines through the photos she takes and extends through to her customer service. I found her on Facebook four months before my daughter was born and she allowed me to come out and meet her in person and discuss the colors and props for my baby’s newborn photo shoot. The day of the shoot she worked her magic and hit the mark for what I had envisioned. It has been a year since the newborn shoot and we just completed the one year photos, they are gorgeous!”

Howdy, friends! Happy Friday, or Fri-yay, as we like to call it in my house, ha! I hope you're having a fantastic day and enjoying the cooler weather we're having. Well, at least for Houston. Today's blog post is going to share a little bit of information about my popular baby plan membership. I'll also showcase some exciting details about the styling behind cake smash and children's one year birthday sessions.

To begin, cake smash or baby milestone sessions are available to newborn clients only. Because I specialize in Houston Newborn Photography, these sessions are really fun for returning clients and a membership to my portraiture services is a wonderful way to document the first year of life since it's a consistent style, editing, wall art, and also someone who has developed a relationship with your kiddo. The membership is very flexible. Parents have the option of doing 3, 6, 9 or 12 months; they may also do any combination of the milestone. The most popular, nonetheless, is 6 and 12 months since this is when most of the changes occur.

Since my newborn style is timeless, fresh, simple and vintage inspired so are my  child milestone sessions. Gone are distracting props; instead, I focus on a few classic pieces so baby is the star. My studio is all white and looks classic. I have a bed, couch, and some cute items like a antique high chair and rocking horse for little ones to use. I also have a plethora of adorable headbands and accessories for your kiddos. Wardrobe is not included but I have a great list of vendors for you to consider. :-) 

Here are some of my favorite images from my time with baby girl Kate. I hope you enjoy viewing and perhaps are interested in your own baby plan. :-) Have a great weekend, y'all!

Ethereal Sunrise Family Session at Hermann Park | Happy Birthday Sweet Boy

Gorgeous outdoor family and first birthday portraits | Houston TX Photographer

Greetings, friends! Happy Friday to you! This is one of my favorite days of the week because I am always gearing up for an exciting weekend; whether it be hanging out with my three little girls, photographing gorgeous babies in studio, or out exploring Houston with family or friends, the weekend always holds much promise. I hope the same is for you! If you've found yourself on my blog, you may be on the hunt for family, child or baby portraiture. You're in luck! My name is Sarah and I adore all three of these genres. I should note, however, at this time, my 2017 calendar is super full for family/children, but I am always taking newborns.

Speaking of squishy cherub babies: this sweet family has been with me since the very beginning of baby's life. I've had the honor of working with them several times and cannot express how lovely they are. Super genuine, laid back, and awesome people. I'm truly blessed to call them clients! 

The first time I met them, they welcomed me into their charming home for an in home lifestyle newborn session. I saw them again for fall family portraiture, 6 month images, and now baby boy is turning the big one! We met at Hermann Park, inside the 610 loop, for a sunrise family session.

As you can see, Mom is radiant and Dad looks super dapper. They're an adorable couple; of course, their precious family looks fantastic with Baby J on their hip. There's something so endearing about a family as they run and play and hold their kiddo in the morning light. This light, you see, looks best at around 6:30 AM, and while it IS early, it makes for fantastic portraiture. 

The following images are some of my favorites from their collection. Thanks for stopping by and viewing! I hope you enjoy seeing them, too, and have a great weekend! Wishing you all my joy and warmth.

Sweet & Simple Neutral Inspired Photos | Houston TX

Sweet, classic and simplistic newborn portraits by Houston TX Newborn Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink.

Here's what J's mama had to say about her newborn experience:

Sarah did an amazing job photographing our sweet little boy! She listened to what I had in mind and implemented it beautifully; I couldn't be happier with the final product!! I highly recommend you to consider Sarah to capture your newborn photo session, she will not disappoint.

Greetings and good morning to you! I'm thrilled you're here at my blog. Please allow me to introduce a charming baby boy who recently visited my studio. J came to see me when he was around 9 days old. He slept beautifully for me and I could not help but be in awe of how precious his sweet little face is. When booking, his mama requested I style the session so it is timeless, classic, simple and sweet. This in mind, I kept the color scheme very neutral and pulled inspiration from all things soft and organic, such as white, cream and a little bit of grey. I even added a muted baby blue and very light brown with tan textures in order to add a tiny bit of pop to the portraits. 

During my time with J, he loved to be wrapped. This makes baby feel safe, secure and helps them sleep during the posing. My studio is also kept at 77 degrees or so. This mimicks the environbemnt of the womb. A full belly, lots of white noise and a warm room are the key to an adorable newborn session.

Those little toes, fingers and his nose - so small yet perfect.

Don't you think the blue looks lovely on him? This hand knitted bonnet is made by one of my favorite vendors in Italy. She has precious creations that are perfect for your sessions. I adore using her props and designs.

And of course, here are my favorite family images. All collections do include family, parent and sibling images if you'd like to do so. J is the first little one so sibling was not applicable though we did focus on images of dad with baby, mom with baby, and of course this beautiful couple together. While getting in front of the camera may feel a little intimidating, please know I am here to guide you with outfit advice, plenty of positive praise during our posing and of course I make sure you feel comfortable being we begin the photo process.
