Kind Words from April Portrait Sessions: Sweetest Clients in Houston

See what real clients are saying about their newborn, family, or maternity portraiture experience with Houston Photographer Sarah Borchgrevink. 

Last month on the calendar: 2018 April Testiomonials and Reviews

Good morning, friends! Thanks for visiting! Today's blog showcases all the beautiful new babies, parents, and even a few baby bumps for that I had the honor of documenting during the month of April. 

“Sarah is very professional. She has a lot of experience and her studio is fully equipped with all the materials, fabrics, head pieces and little extra unique pieces that will make your session super special. Even when her studio is located at home you won’t even notice it. I know is hard as a parent let other people to handle your newborn especially if you are a first timer (like I am) but trust me! Sarah is very delicate and she handles babies with all care and patient. The pictures are beautiful and honestly this is an investment you won’t regret.”

“What can you say?...Sarah is an awesome photographer. We did outdoor family photos for a large family and she was very patient with the kiddos. She is very kind and knows her stuff! We look forward to many more family photos using Sarah!”

— Larnell Nolan

“We loved our newborn photo session with Sarah. Sarah is very sweet, professional and talented. I had complications after the birth of my daughter and thought I wasn’t going to be able to take part in the photo shoot. Sarah gave me several options and we were able to reschedule our session. I really appreciate what she did for me and I highly recommend her. Her work is beautiful!”

“Sarah is excellent! Very professional and easy to work with. She recently did our baby boy’s newborn pictures and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her for such a special time in our lives. We look forward to working with her again in the nearest future. Thank you Sarah!!!!!”

“Sarah is absolutely amazing to work with. We had the best experience with our first family pictures. She was so patient and kind with our 6 month old. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful!!”

— Skylar Kahla

“Sarah was awesome for our newborn shoot! I found her via Google search and loved the gallery on her website. What sold me was how responsive and friendly she was via email and the fact that she offered full rights to the digital images versus many of the photographers I researched who require you to purchase all of your printed images through them. She answered every question I had, most of them before I even thought to ask and even ordered a special prop just for our session based on our conversation. On the day of the shoot she was super friendly and warm and so easy to work with. She handled our little man with such care that I was at complete ease and just sat back and let her do her thing. We just got our pictures back and I am obsessed! We will treasure these pictures forever and I am so grateful to her for helping us capture such a special moment in time. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah for your newborn photography. She will take such good care of your family and your new addition and provide you with priceless memories to last a lifetime.”

— April Borrego

“From the maternity session to the newborn session, Sarah was very open and accommodating to what we were trying to achieve and made the whole experience pleasurable and exciting. Her work speaks for itself, and she has the knowledge and skill to capture those important moments in life for future generations to cherish”

— Shawn Croat

“Sarah took newborn photos for us and did an incredible job. She incorporated family photos and was excellent at getting shots of our toddler as well. She definitely put us at ease and was very flexible to accommodate our sons need to eat during the session. She requested specific information prior to the session and used that to tailor our time to exactly what we wanted. Our photos are amazing and we would happily use her again!”

— Rachel Gauthier

“Clear and informative communication from start to finish. We are thrilled with the results from our first shoot with Sarah and already looking forward to future sessions!”

— Taylor Robinson

“Working with Sarah was a complete blessing! We chose her for our maternity and newborn pictures based on the amazing reviews and we were not disappointed! Starting with our maternity pictures, Sarah was very professional and clear about what to expect. She brought a very pretty quilt and gave helpful advice on wardrobe selections for me and my husband. She was punctual, polite, and energetic at the photoshoot and her positive energy helped to renew my energy (which had been drained from the pregnancy). The photos were STUNNING! We absolutely could not be happier with the maternity photos she captured. After our son was born, Sarah did our newborn photos. Oh. My. Goodness. I am so thankful that we chose her as our photographer. Her prep guide was INSTRUMENTAL in having an amazing photoshoot. She was so kind and thoughtful during the process too, which is super helpful to a new mama. She took my pose requests and made them a perfect reality. Her newborn props and wraps are gorgeous too! Basically, if you want your once in a lifetime pictures to be stunningly beautiful, Sarah is the photographer you need in your life. The entire experience was transparent, professional, peaceful, and memorable. We truly could not have had a better experience with anyone else... of that, I’m convinced. She is worth every penny and then some. I really don’t think I could ever use another photographer now that we’ve been spoiled by her! Thank you, Sarah, for providing my family with the most gorgeous images during these once in a lifetime experiences.”

— Brandie Croat

“Sarah photographed our newborn 2 years ago and I loved her work so much I came back this year to get baby #3 photographed. Our gallery turned out amazing! My favorite part of our session was watching her work her magic and wrap my baby into beautiful poses. She is so gentle, patient, kind and nurturing and her talent shines through her images. I can’t wait to frame and decorate my house with pictures we will cherish always. Thanks, Sarah!!!”

When styling my posed newborn sessions, I always keep your color preferences in mind. We also consider the season in which baby is born. For example, when this sweet cherub baby girl visited at just under two weeks new, Mom relayed she is a fan of both neutrals and vibrant jewel tones such as rich teal and deep purple. Simultaneously, nevertheless, Mom also requested soft blush pink and an ivory for a neutral portion of their session, too. This in mind, I created a stunning custom session curated to their taste and preferences while also sticking true to my timeless, vintage inspired and dreamy newborn images which act as fine art in your home.

This darling baby girl slept wonderfully for me - a complete treat! Her parents were absolutely lovely as can be and Dad especially was helpful during the session from asking questions, to hanging me props, and to moving things around for me even! 

Here are just a few of my favorite images from their spring inspired newborn photography session here in Houston, TX! Wishing you a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy seeing how vibrant colors can mix well with neutral styling, particularly for an April due date.

This is a new bucket I have in studio; when I purchased it, I thought about painting it cream, but the rich, golden wood is so pretty against a baby's skin, I may just leave it brown for now!

The adorable heart prop, seen below, is from a vintage quilter I  follow on Instagram. She makes the most adorable newborn props and I really enjoy using her pieces in my sessions.

As always, I encourage you to stick around and peruse the blog to see more timeless newborn photography, dynamic maternity sessions and even cute family milestones, such as outdoor and natural light portraits. 

Keep in touch and please visit again!

Warmly,

Sarah
