Updated Due Date Placeholder | Accepting 2020 Arrivals
Specializing in studio infant, baby, and newborn portraits, Sarah Borchgrevnk is joyfully accepting 2020 due dates! See more information below.
Hi, gang! Welcome! As 2019 winds down, the studio is gearing up for a great upcoming year! We are thrilled to share we’re accepting due date placeholders for 2020. A due date placeholder is a beautiful way to commission our studio as your baby’s portrait artist. A due date placeholder means your estimated due date is added to our calendar. This lets us know how many babies to expect each month so we may plan accordingly.
Newborn sessions occur in the first 14 days of life, preferably when your Little One is 5-9 days old. This timeframe is the optimal time when new infants are curly, sleepy, flexible, moldable, and able to be posed in those oh-so-darling images you see via our Houston Newborn Photography Portfolio page. Adding your due date to the calendar gives you instant access to the scheduling options once your baby is born. You are most likely to have your preferred date and time not to miss the fleeting newborn window. The weekend dates are also highly sought after, o keep this in mind, too!
The best time to add your due date to our calendar is when you’re either in the second or third trimester. Your due date is simply an estimation for when the Baby is expected to arrive. Some little ones are early, late, and even right on time. No matter when your cherub is earthside, you already have access to the calendar.
Package pricing is upfront and eareadilyvailable to you to make things simple for new parents! The studio's focus is selling full-resolution digital files, along with a print release. There are no in-person sales appointments, minimum print orders, or separate session fees. One rate pays for your entire session from start to finish. However, professional prints and products are available for purchase as a perk to parents seeking the highest quality.
14Fourteenays after your session, you receive a private online proofing gallery showcasing the best images from our time together! Parents select the number of portraits that come in the chosen package. At that time, those selections are fully and professionally edited. They’re polished up and ready for you to print, share online, and treasure forever!
The chosen images are delivered three days later via instant digital download. A print release is also included. You may print your photos as many times or large as you would like forever.
Sessions are available seven days per week in the studio between 6 a.m. - 6 p.m., M-F, and 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The standard turnaround for proofing galleries is 14 days, year-round.
Motherhood wardrobe is included for all sessions.

The studio is fully vaccinated and insured to provide newborn safety for our most petite clients, such as Tdap, MMR, and the yearly flu vaccine.

Add your due date to the calendar below
After adding your due date to the calendar:
· As soon as Baby is here, please select your preferred date/time/package from the scheduling link below. The sooner you pick your date, the more likely you are to have your preferred session date and time.
· The scheduling calendar will have you fill out a styling questionnaire so you can answer helpful questions about Baby, share colors you like or dislike, and also anything you’d like me to know in advance.
· Upon selecting your date and time, your posed newborn prep guide PDF is sent to your preferred e-mail address. The guide is a helpful and recommended list of instructions to ensure we have a great session together!
· I would like to see you in the first 14 days of life, preferably at 5-9 days new, if possible.
· When picking your appointment time, ignore the portion about signing a contract/deposit as you've already done this in advance.
Babies are often early or late, so no worries if this happens.

Why book pregnancy portraits?
Your pregnancy is an exciting time; your heart is filled with joy as you prepare to meet the greatest love of your life: your child. The unconditional bond, soft kicking of feet - you feel it all. Preserving this memory is a beautiful way to celebrate your baby bump. There will be a time where the pitter-pattering of small feet has ceased to echo and you will long to feel your belly swell. It's bittersweet though a timeless maternity session will always preserve this wonderful time before your little love enters the world.
As a mother to four young children (Lucy, Amelia, Jack and Emma) I can attest how fleeting this time is and through professional lighting and posing, you’re sure to look and feel your best during our time together.

What is an online proofing gallery?
2 weeks (14 days) after your session takes place, your gallery selections are sent to you via a private, password-protected gallery to the e-mail provided on your contract. The gallery selections are the proofing gallery.
Your proofing gallery will have the top images from our time together. These are the images from which you'll select the number of digital files that come in your package. The pictures you do not select are discarded.
Rush editing is available for purchase, however, should you be eager to see your images before the contractual date of 2 weeks.
Soft proofing means light edits are applied to the top images from your session. This allows me to retouch only the chosen images. Full edits such as skin smoothing, eye sharpening, teeth whitening, etc., are completed once you have selected your favorite photos. Professionally enhanced final edits are finished 3 business days after you choose your images. Business days are Monday – Friday.
Motherhood wardrobe is provided
I have a client wardrobe mothers may use for their session. It includes gowns that photograph well in the space, typically in small-large sizes. They are flowy and timeless. You are welcome to use one for our session though if you have an outfit from home, you prefer that's fine, too! If you would like to use the client wardrobe please wear a nude bra and bring an underslip to prevent undergarments from showing.
There is also a sister wardrobe, too, in sizes 3 months – 5t.
What should Dads/Significant others or siblings wear to sessions?
For siblings and Dad: please stick to neutrals, if possible, or muted pastels. Avoid neon colors. Orange, yellow, bright greens or pinks are not favorable. Colors that photograph well are light grey, tans, creams, white, and ivory. Seafoam, mauve, and colors of this sort are lovely, too!
Dads look lovely in a pair of jeans or khaki pants, simple button-up, or even a polo shirt without distracting labels. Moms can do a long maxi dress if they would like or cardigan, tank top, whichever you're comfortable.
Children look precious in jeans or khaki pants with a solid or neutral colored top. Little girls look darling in a simple cotton dress without any cartoon characters or distracting labels.
